Draegon (Liam P Boyle) Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 My wife used to be that way, until I convinced her to not give me grief for a year while I tried it. At the end of the year, I shaved it, and she said grow it back, because she got used to it and got wierded out by me looking like a child post shave. Same has happened to a few friends. I chalk it up to our wives not realizing that they like the masculinity of the beards until they have it, then have it taken away. I'm actually wanting to grow the goat out Chinese sage style. Any tricks or product recommendations to assist would be aporeciated.

Guzzi Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 My bf gets his beard trimmed when he gets his hair cut, but the lass always makes a bit of an arse of it. There seems to be a "shelf" going on. I'll see if I can get pics. Anyway, he wants me to have a go at trimming and shaping his beard, but I have NO CLUE how to do it, at least not without making an arse of it. Any help or or advice is warmly welcomed.

Frost of the Gloaming Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I love to hate the itchiness one week in; and according to my nieces and nephew I should grow a long Santa Claus beard; if I could just skip over the una-bomber look that would be great 1 Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

MissoulaSquatch Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I can't get into too many specifics yet, but I took on a position with my buddy's beard oil company today. Pretty freaking stoked. Going to be taking over the Webdesign/Marketing side of things. Woo! Edited to add: We're just going over the business side of things first, paperwork, cost to produce, what little overhead is involved..then I get to start working on the fun stuff. Nice thing is he and I were both General Managers of franchises for the same company, so we have very similar thought processes and know quite a bit about running a business already. Should be a perfect match-up! 5 Quote How to become Sasquatch Link to comment

Bullroarer Took Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Last year my beard looked it's best when I trimmed it up just before the shave so this year I have been working on shaping it. As it gets longer I keep giving it more of a bevel... point... whatever. Damn thing grows in grayer every year. 1 Quote "For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm."

Frost of the Gloaming Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Yea I'm trying to do the same thing so I don't end up looking like a una-bomber or something; (tan skin + long ragged beard = more random security stops) I'm letting/hoping it will come in all white just so I can make some extra cash around the Holiday season Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Frost of the Gloaming Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I just trimmed mine down for a family photo, but am planning on trimming it up (keeping it cleaner) when I grow it back out again.

Bullroarer Took Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I let mine get pretty long last winter and suddenly had a thought last week that I shouldn't still be trimming it if I want a decent beard by November Quote "For us, there is no spring.
