But...different strokes for different folks.
Last year I tried for Hemmingway and got Bad Santa...
I’ll tell you the truth but you have to accept it. Big bushy gray beards don’t look good on anyone. People only say otherwise because they see you’ve invested a lot of time into it and don’t want to offend you.
Just 6 months???
n00b!
I’ve grown my beard since 1982!
Should be 8 feet long by now, but I keep it trimmed.

Santa?
I’m not going to beard the question since I don’t have a beard.
I shaved it because the wife said it chaffed. Plus nigh 25 years later it would be white if I grew out it, although the white is just barely reached my sideburns so it’s not apparent yet and would weird if I did have a beard.
Wasn’t it Eddie Munster who found bacon in his beard? I’m waiting for that day.
I’ve had mine so long I don’t recognize myself without it. Shaved once a few years ago and started it back the next day.
I love beards. But there can be too much. I guess I’m more attracted to the trimmed ones, but guys with thick beards show a certain macho courage, or maybe just a deep devotion to their religion...
A beard will not hide a queer or hipster
That simple
More than twenty posts and no one has said that Lenin had a beard, Gabby Hayes had whiskers. This place is slipping.
Beard to keep face warm, stop shaving in November by April, beard too hot, so shave.
Beard maintenance easy.
In awe?
That’s nausea.
The last time I was clean-shaven was in 1979. Before that, I grew them and shaved them off and I had another one going when a woman I worked with asked me how long that one would last. I said a year. She said, yeah right, and we made a bet on it. If I shaved before a year, I had to take her to dinner. If I didn’t shave, she had to take me. I won.
It works for me. I let it grow longer when I was younger, and there is a photo of me around 1983 in which I resembled President Rutherford B. Hayes. I keep it more closely trimmed now, but I will let it grow a little longer in the winter. Almost no one who currently knows me has ever seen me clean-shaven, and those who have seen me probably don’t remember what I looked like. I wouldn’t recognize myself if I shaved it off, so I guess it’s there for good.
I am 71, and my wife passed away in June and she did not like beards. I had a beard on and off for years before I married her, so I decided to grow it back, 6 months later I look kind of like Santa Claus it’s all white and I get lots of compliments on it. I keep the hair on top of the number to clip so it’s short on top!
