Hello all!

Seeing as you need stars for any new threads and such things these days, and there is a shaving thread...

I figured I would start a beard thread!

I've kept a beard on my face for around 8 years now, mixing it up between stubble and grade 2 length, a few crazy styles and cuts thrown in, but never a full clean shaven face unless it's for a very important event.

Any others on here the same?

I'm currently undertaking a bid to grow a very big beard, it's around grade 2 at the moment and I have another 3 weeks until I can trim and shape it up to look a little smarter and continue growing.

This site provides a bit of knowledge on lines, which most people mess up.

As for a grooming kit, I simply have a wireless trimmer (with chargeable battery) which comes with scissors, comb and such things.

Discuss minions!

Can do, I will upload one when I get home

Anyone else have any comments on ginger hairs in beards? I started with a patch of ginger in my teens now pretty much 50% of my beard is ginger and my hair is naturally very dark brown, almost black haha. So I'm not sure what to do. Rock on with it or cover it up with that die comb thing?

Oh man I'm jealous of beardage. Military life sucks. I miss growing a beard!

It's fun

I remember in training, I would get so much stick for not shaving, but I shaved every morning

I just knew best not to answer back and shave again as instructed haha. Unlike others.

Looking majestic as **** with Leroy the monkey torch, he is my traveling companion lol.

Yea, as you can see I trim my neck beard, but the rest is just growing slowly!

Jaw line means you are trimming a 'strap'. I did this for years but never thought about it. Only recently I found out how to properly trim a neck beard here:

Well, it's now back to grade 1

My boss made a strong comment last night as we were boarding the train. She made sort of a joke and sort of a "that needs to go" comment...

So low and behold, I'm stuck with grade 1 stubble it seems until I go traveling. At least I'm still growing my hair!

I've been using this for the last couple of months and I can't recommend it enough.
