Beards...

[wijcc]

How many members here have beards... if so what style of beard do you have?
I have recently started growing one.. haven't shaved for about 3 weeks. Wondering what style to grow or how to maintain it so that i don't look like a vagrant/castaway.

 

[WillyNelson]

Full beard here. Had it for about 7 years.
I keep mine trimmed to whatever length is 3 on my Wahl beard trimmers.

 

[tom_e]

I've got one, nothing crazy keep it trimmed relatively short.

 

[Tuppy_Glossop]

Sporting a ginger and grey full-extent beard, trimmed weekly with clippers at 3mm.

my beard is creeping up my face/cheeks towards my eyes...

I keep mine trimmed to whatever length is 3 on my Wahl beard trimmers.

I have the Wahl Multi-Cut Mains Clipper. I use the smallest, red guard for my beard and the next one up for what's left of my head hair. And without a guard for the jungle that creeps up my neck from my shoulders.

I look moderately hobo like with a beard, but I can't get rid of it now (it's grown on me) - just try to keep it off the neck/cheeks so I don't look too scruffy for work.

If you are generally very clean cut people may think you've become an alcoholic or homeless if you do it suddenly

(How I keep it currently(, that was when it was growing in so it's thicker now) - embrace the beard.

I have had one for a few years now. I keep it trimmed to about 5mm and keep the edges in order, without looking like I have tried to keep them in order.

2.5 to 3.5mm depending on how 'saucy' I'm feeling

im also giving a beard ago not shaved yet this year never had a beard before but it itches like crazy, so may not last long

 

[Cosimo]

I've got one and like to keep it short.

 

[Wazz-1]

I have the vagrant/castaway look, I just let it grow and trim it when I cut my hair. I guess I'm just lazy
I sometimes just go for the Charles Bronson tash

i am past the itchy stage now thankfully... not sure whether i will keep the beard or not.. as i am normally clean shaven. Used to shave every second or third day.

It will stop itching give it time to mature.

 

[King4aDay]

Had my beard for about 3 years now. I quite like the scruffy hobo/wild man of the woods look but my gf occasionally decides enough is enough and attacks me with scissors.

I only ever let my other half trim my beard once, she cut a years growth off
I had to shave it all off and start again.

 

[DJMK4]

Too itchy for me, although I do sometimes grow some nice stubble, but not a full on beard

 

[gillywibble]

I grow a full beard for the winter, normally have a goatee.
