I've wanted to grow an impressive beard go years now and as I've just turned 33
I think I'm old enough now.
Is there any beardsmen here? And if so have you any tips on growing an impressive beard.

Only the manliest of manly men are capable of harnessing the beast of bearddom. If you see yourself fit to take on the challenge, the steps are simple. Don't shave

there has been a previous thread about beards !
and some very impressive images

I myself have had facial fluff for many years
and in the last couple of years i've noticed it's very 'trendy' here in Blight to grow a 'mountaineers' style bushy beard , special amongst the younger chaps ! (at 33 you're probably a bit old

)
despite my age I can only manage a goatee, which is going a tad silvery so I'm staring to look like colonel Sanders

As a woman I'm telling you, DO NOT GROW AN IMPRESSIVE BEARD

Some stubble is okay and hot, but beard, omg and impressive beard is twice omG.

Seriously, tough

That's just my personal preference

It's funny you should say that , my other half says the same but I want a change of appearance .for years I've had stubble and a shaved head , my stubble longer than what's on my head. But I've got a few tattoos and on first appearances most people think I'm a thug till they get to know me but as I've now got 2 young children if like to look friendlier .
Plus I do and always have think beards are cool.

I can grow facial hair quickly and do on occasion grow a full beard (and goatees etc.), usually when I do not need to shave for a while. Some women like it, some do not and some get used to it..

The main problem with any serious facial hair is the amount of food (mainly bread crumbs) that gets caught in it, which can get annoying.
Also, nowadays, you may look like an ISIS member with a certain type of beard.

If you're already growing a good stubble, then why not simply start with a neck shave? Stubble quickly becomes a short beard with a little shape.

I say grow that bad boy. No man should be told if he can/should grow a beard or not.

Monrogue · **Reply #12 on:** March 15, 2015, 01:04:19 AM

Preach it Cap! I've had my beard 7 months now. Wife hates it, but knows I'm stubborn about it. Only thing is I've shaved it off every year for our anniversary, but always miss it, and really don't want to this time....

Love that meme too

If you are able to grow one then I say go for it. I wish I could grow one cause I'd look like that dude in the Capts pic

.

I'm more stubbly than bearded and have not shaven clean for 12 years. I have beard envy big time. My younger bro's can grow some wicked beards not sure what happened to me

may have to ask if dad was some other guy

I've had a beard for over 40 years. I must have saved an enormous amount of time in not shaving, not to mention no neck rashes etc. Beards have been in and out of fashion several times while I've had mine, but frankly I couldn't give a smurf about what's "in" or not.

So I say if you want to grow a beard then give it a try. "You'll never ever know if you never ever have a go."

These days I keep it pretty short (#2 on the clippers, so longer than a stubble), but I have grown it "bush-ranger" (Oz version of outlaws) long at times when I was younger and it had a decent amount of colour (brown & red). Now it is mostly white with a hint of pepper - I guess it faded in the strong Oz sun.

Monrogue · **Reply #18 on:** March 15, 2015, 05:25:53 AM

Lol, thanks Higgs....Herley better watch out

One of the reasons my wife hates me bearded is because my hair is practically black, but beard is a mixture of various red and brown. She just prefers me clean shaven with a "normal" length hair style, and I prefer the opposite

Heck, at one time, about 14 years ago, I had long hair and no beard. She wouldn't have liked that either.

There is an old finnish saying that goes sort of: "Beard doesn't grow on bad men, nor whiskers on the wicked"

Needless to say I do sport a goatee...

Grathr · **Reply #24 on:** March 15, 2015, 07:54:15 AM

Ihave had a full beard for 3 years now.

Grow a pair, and a beard. Who cares what the women think. There is seriously too many clean shaved men out there. We are meant to have facial hair so start growing!

Steinar · **Reply #26 on:** March 15, 2015, 11:38:32 AM

Grow a beard, good fellow!

I've had a beard for about 15 years now, and it was my then girlfriend, now wife, who made me grow it. Tips? Keep it clean and brush it when it gets long. I wear my beard long in winter and short in summer.

kkokkolis · **Reply #27 on:** March 15, 2015, 12:12:36 PM

I had one during University. My now wife liked it then, but now she says she prefers me shaved.
Use shampoo and be careful during oral sex until it grows. After it grows enough so your facial hair don't feel like nails, it becomes an advantage. But you'll have to use shampoo afterwards.
