Winter is coming, are you guys getting the Beard ready?

[IheartSig]

Anyone starting / maintaining a beard ? I've been growing one for a couple months now and am thinking about trying to keep it growing. Any tips or ideas on how to manage a longer beard?

It's been a while since I had a full beard. I'm just a goatee guy now. But when I did have one, the biggest thing for managing it was having a good grooming tool - like a Wahl trimmer, with the longer attachments. It makes it much easier to keep it looking even and knocking out the stragglers. I've been tempted to grow one out again, but I just haven't done it yet.

So, in the meantime, I follow this advice - I'm going bald naturally, so no need to shave my head:

And more beard humor:

Grew one to hide my double chin. Shaved it off a few years back. Wife and daughter said, "Grow it back". Oh well.

Like etrain said buy a Wahl Groomsman, carry a comb and always carry a handkerchief or bandana (you'll see why).

Yea getting it out lol again its always trimmed until winter then it nice cause it keep my face warm.
But I notice something is wrong the last year these other color hairs are coming out with it......... give you a hint its grey . Its cool wife likes it so thats all that matters. Seems most of us that have facial hair do so allot based on our SO reaction.

I stopped shaving 2 weeks ago and it's starting to come in nicely for hunting season.
I'll keep it going until November when I shave everything off and grow out my mustache.

Real men don't grow a beard.

It's always been there.

Treat it as your hair. Wash it! Keep it straight and don't play with it.

I'm known for my red beard amongst the friends. (Also makes it easy to meet people. Yeah I'm the one with the red beard, can't miss me!)

I grew a beard in college, cause a girl liked them. Got a couple of dates, nothing serious between us, and not the one I married.

I shaved after my daughter was born, she was about 3, had never seen me without one.
I kept the 'Stash.

After I got married to the 2nd wife, a couple years in, she tells our bible study she doesn't particularly like facial hair. I shaved it off the next morning.

my 2c recommendation, check with your significant other first.

Just let it go Duck Dynasty style. That way there is no upkeep. If anyone asks just say you like to hunt ducks.

I'd already had about a week's growth going, but yesterday I made it official by edging. So yea... winter beard under way!

You do know that Uncle Si is a Caveman Jim imposter don't you?

I stop trimming my man hair after July 4th, yeah this year was a hot one but some things are trivial when a man beard is a top priority!!!

I've had a full beard since 1976, never have shaved it off since then. I keep it trimmed and clean. My wife of 22 years has never seen me clean shaven, other than in photos...

I too was a ginger snap (Chris Cringle) way back when, since then I have evolved slowly into Santa Claus......

The only part of my man beard that I play with is the stash, I keep it trained combing it sideways beacause I have to eat too!!!!

Late July to now:

Obviously you are not a hardcore duck hunter like me.... the longer the better, been doing it longer than Willie, Jase & the boys.....

Started 3 weeks ago for hunting season and winter.Now no hunting this year due to a knee injury. Kids have called me Santa for over 10 years.

I don't understand why long and shaggy is "better," but I'm guessing it's just in the spirit of commitment and competition.... Grooming styles are one of the more interesting studies of social mores and memes. Take leg shaving, in the cycling community: outside of the cycling community, shaved legs on men are just gay. Gross. It's like seeing a dude wearing a skirt and pantyhose. But within the ultra-competitive, conformist, judgmental competitive cycling community, it's basically the total opposite. Hairy legs indicate a lack of dedication, commitment, discipline. Weakness, inferior, GAY. Less so around these parts, where there are actually a good deal of hairy legs on the race course, but if you go ride anywhere else in the country, tanned, ripped, hairless legs are the sign of a serious rider.

I grow a winter beard because it's fun and stylish to do so in our region.... but it needs to look GOOD. I don't consider myself a salesman, but sales is my first job, as a contractor. I need housewives to admire my charm and secretly/subconsciously want to bed me. "I think we should go with Ben, honey. He certainly seems the most......... qualified..... for the job." Happy wife, happy life.

N'a'm'sayin'?
