I think I'm old enough now.
Is there any beardsmen here? And if so have you any tips on growing an impressive beard.

and some very impressive images :o
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 :(

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.

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.

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 :think: may have to ask if dad was some other guy :rofl:.

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....

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. :rofl:

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

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.
Post by: kkokkolis on March 15, 2015, 12:12:36 PM
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. (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/15/de38e2d27fed7b00b4f5bb871ca8da95.jpg)

Sexual dimorphism is a natural phenomenon but cultural also. Some cultures are more sensitive regarding body and facial hair. We see the classical beauty standards set by the ancient Greeks in the wealth of bronze and marble statues. Mature men (Zeus, Poseidon, Philosophers etc) have facial and body hair. Women (Aphrodite, Hera, Athena, Nike, Caryatids, Athenian women on the Parthenon freeze and Niki temple) not. Ancients had wax too.

I've generally only kept the moustache/goatee look, and rarely had more than a week or two's scruff on the rest. A while back I shaved only neckbeard/below my jawline part and part of my cheeks and have kept on trimming but let the rest grow. Suprisingly it eventually got past the steel brush texture that had me shaving everything but the goatee in the first place and now reached a point where it's not annoying me as it was.
Here's a somewhat horrible selfie I took a few weeks ago...

tips:
- Do NOT trim the beard at the jawline. That looks dumb.
- Wait until the beard is fully grown before trimming the borders.
Also, get a beard trimmer to maintain it, but you can also go to a good barber and have your beard shaped up professionally.

I can't say I see any problem there? How people tend to their own body is a personal matter as long as it doesn't affect the health of people around them. If you want blue hair and won't lose your job coloring your hair blue (and if you get fired for hair color, I don't like your employer), do it. If your wife likes your beard and it's OK by you, grow one. I think personal choice is a splendid principle for hair growing anywhere on the body, both for shaving and growing. :)
Oh, and a standard note: Men not going down on their woman if she's not shaven downstairs are behaving like boys wanting girls, not men wanting women. :D
(Yes, I feel perfectly comfortable making fun of other people's personal choices even though I stress this is a personal choice. Freedom of expression is a beautiful thing.)
It's like multitools, really. Everybody must figure out what works for themselves, and what their SOs will put up with. :D

Here's another beard fact, you may or may not look like an Orthodox priest.
(http://forum.multitool.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=58154.0;attach=142781;image)
For more facts, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard
From 17 to 26 years of age I couldn't stand the sight of me shaved, I felt I looked child-like. I'd shave every month, month and a half. Then I realised my beard made me look like a savage. Man, I need to scan and upload THAT picture of me in my 20s I want to burn and my wife won't let me. Then you'll know why now I shave every two to three days. Funny thing is she loves how I look in that photo -I find it creepy- but she prefers me shaved; even my one-day facial hair can give her a rush. Women... need I say more?
Besides appearance, wearing a beard in the hot greek summer is a sport I am no longer fond of... Plus, I may be getting older (who said that ??) but I don't like this trend of bearded men. It's difficult to explain without a bit of modern greek history so I'll skip that and just state that seeing trendy yuppies wearing suits and beards that make them look like greek independence war fighters or greek civil war rebels is plain ridiculous.
Growing a beard doesn't mean you just stop shaving. You have to make it happen. The least you can do is comb it frequently so you can get an idea of what can be done with that beard of yours and save yourself the itches you're otherwise bound to get. Then, make up your mind whether it looks good on you or not ;)
Good luck either way :tu:

Why not post some defaced pictures with some figures from other religions e.g. Muslim then? Lets see what the reaction will be from that.
People are now mocking their own heritage and then wonder why others are defecating on their country and show their nation no respect.
Post by: firiki on March 16, 2015, 01:55:54 PM
Don't get me wrong, I value tradition but I have a lot of defecating of my own to do on my country... I just posted this pic because I thought it was funny. It was just meant to show a beard is mandatory for Orthodox priests.
Post by: enki_ck on March 16, 2015, 01:58:41 PM
You know politics and religion are a no-no here, and both got mentioned it the last few posts.
If you wish to discuss it further take it to PMs, guys. Or that thread where you both write in those funny letters no one else understands. :P
Post by: dks on March 16, 2015, 02:07:51 PM
This picture is designed to make fun of religion. Making fun of that because of what happened in 1821 (by some in the leadership, not all the priests), in 2015 does not seem right.
When a German magazine makes fun of an ancient statue, then, maybe they should be allowed to do so because of what Alexander the Great or some other ancient Greek did to Iran etc.
As I said I doubt anybody would post a picture of a Muslim/Hindu/Jewish etc priest, making fun of him, and expect people to like it and have a laugh.
I will not go on, as I am aware of the no politics/religion discussion rule but I still think that you need to respect your own culture before requesting respect from others.

Now, back to the beards. You people suck. I've been compelled to to take the "selfie". This is 5 years, with a little singed off. No, there isn't a hollow in the middle, it's just a trick of the white hair. And I trim it in front of the ears- drives me nuts, and it interferes with earmuffs.

I was surprised to see a few of my daughters high school classmates with beards. I had almost no facial hair till I hit my 30's :whistle:. I'm not a fan of shaving for no other reason than my skin is sensitive and I just don't prefer the process.
I have always been a live an let live sort of guy and so beards, no beards, partial beards, clean shaven, or whatever floats your boat I say go for it.
Ladies do what you will as well, wax, shave, electrolysis. no shave, natural, partially shaven, whatever floats your boat tho I do have a preference in that regard.

Beauty can be found in many things. That's one kind of inner beaty I don't wish to see even if people were actually willing to show me by themselves. Then there's the question, what is inner beauty actually? :angel:

I've floated the idea of shaving off my beard a few times, but my wife is against the idea. I've had it so long I suspect she's not sure what I'd look like without it, and is rather worried by what she might see. :-\Since we're twins, just show her my pic. :tu:

I started growing a beard at about 20 years of age. I've now been living longer with a beard than without one. I only shaved it off twice and immediately started growing it again both times. The first time, I cut half of it off like in the photo above. :D It's been many years waiting for it to be fashion as it is today.
Also check out cat beards... http://cat-beard.com/
This is at about 22 year old.

I've done the beard thing a few times, but ever since I got into DE/straight razor shaving as a hobby, I have no interest in growing one. I to much enjoy the process of using a shaving brush, soap, etc.

Sure has grown quite a lot. How long has it been Monrogue?Since it was last trimmed? Five months for the goat area. I lost a lot of length when I did that, and really missed it. Mine grows a bit slowly, so I knew it would take 5-6 months to get it back. If the whiskers were straight rather than a bit curly and all over the place, it would be like an inch longer than it looks now. I do trim the sides to help it look neater for work.

5months It's a game of patience then!Yes it is indeed a patience game. Time does seem to go quickly though. I want to grow my hair and beard once I retire. Office job doesn't allow us to have long hair. Honestly, I am surprised that they haven't taken issue with my beard at this point.

I've had a goatee pretty much full time for 30 years or more now. Got a mole on my chin that likes to get nicked in shaving, so the goatee covers it and avoids that.I've had the goatee since 98, normally short in summer and longer in winter, but normally don't shave but just buzz the rest of facial hair, kinda the same up top, ever since 98 buzzed in winter, but shaved in warmer weather..

Beards aren't my strong point. Me trying to grow one for a week or two looks like George Michael's 8 o clock shadow..
That's what everyone thinks when it first starts growing. The more time you spend growing it, the thicker it will get. Patience is key, and there are a few stages where you will look like you live in a cardboard box.
Post by: Weasel on January 19, 2016, 07:03:31 PM
I shaved completely last April and started again in May. I stopped trimming it myself and let a professional take over. I get it trimmed once a month with my haircut. That's made a world of difference.

I don't use any balms or oils. I just trim it once a week with a electric clipper with the 1/4 inch guard in place so my beard is kept to a short close clipped style. Way easier to keep and shampoo in the shower every morning, and no long beard for someone to grab onto in a close ugly situation. Best of both worlds, no shaving, and no handholds for hostiles.You ever watch a tv show called "the last Alaskans"?

What trips me out is the very young men who can grow such amazing beards. At my daughters school there is this guy ( 16 or 17 ) who has a pretty terrific beard already. Now of course the young girls there think its gross but man that kids gonna have a ZZ Top beard in no time.
I think its great seeing all the different facial hair styles men are wearing these days. It's nice for many who struggle to keep a clean shaven face to have the option to grow out a proper beard.
My brother would shave at 6am and be bearded by 1pm. Poor dude being an accountant had to be clean shaven. Now since its more acceptable he's able to keep a close trimmed beard.

There was one odd event about a year ago in the bowls of the USS Massachusetts, I was wondering around and there was a family there too with a kid lagging behind, the father said hay you better catch up or there will just be a big guy with a beard here.

I have had a beard for going on 8+ years, because I am lazy, don't like shaving, and am lucky enough to be able to grow a full beard that looks good. And over the years no one has told me that they find beards gross (but then again I doubt any one would tell me that) girls claim to like the way it looks (one even asked if she could touch it) and guy are generally jealous of my ability to grow a beard.

I do shave for a big meeting or something. Let it grow out more too sometimes. If it gets longer I recommend Honest Amish beard balm (avail on Amazon) which takes any itch out of it.

One of the reasons I started shaving regurarly is summertime; rocking a beard from June to October ain't fun around here.
Hang on a second, are you telling me the Athenians and the Spartans et al. all shaved for the summer?

I was reading a newspaper article about a book on beards in the ancient world and how they reflected social norms. Egyptians had to shave every day, head included. Sumerians would grow long, wavy beards, while their neighbours whose name eludes me right now wore short, well trimmed beards. Romans shaved IIRC, as for Greeks they generally wore their beard short and trimmed but not too much until Alexander the Great changed that and imposed that men shave regularly. The trends changed all the time apparently to reflect changing societal preferences/values.
It seemed like an interesting read, I'll try to find its title.

A simple slip of the razor meant I took a lump out my beard and forced me into a goatee, but I wasn't a fan of that look any more so I've clipped it right back and am starting again. My wife isn't a fan......which surely means she doesn't like the look of my face. :think:

It's not like I even keep my beard long or particularly thick, but it evidently really defined the shape of my face 'cos I look very different without it. My beard doesn't grow a quickly as yours but it shouldn't take too long either.

I'm not touching mine again , I'm letting it go wild then going to find someone who knows what there doing to tidy it up
If you don't have a steady hand with scissors and comb, get an electric hair trimmer and find out what size guard fits your beard style. In winter, I use a 3/8 or even 1/2 inch guard on the trimmer for a neat even look. In summer, I'll go to the 1/4 inch guard for a shorter trimmed look that is a bit cooler for the hot weather.
Here is mid winter cold weather look. I used the larger guard this time of year.

This photo was summer cut, using the 1/4 inch guard on the trimmer for the once a week beard trim.
(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1683/26706875626_bbb9af30f6_z.jpg)
I find that with the electric trimmer used every Saturday morning, the beard stays neat looking and uniform in appearance. The Wagner brand has been very good for me.

This afternoon I'm trimming my hair to #1 and my beard to #2 for the winter.
Beards are currently back in fashion, although not everywhere as I was assured by my Dutch friend that visited recently. :rofl:
I amount I paid for 4 Gillette Mach-something blades recently means I'll be moving to a cut-throat razor in the near future.

I was told not to use head shampoo on the beard as the skin on your face isn't as tough as the scalp . You can get beard shampoo but since I ran out I just use warm water and then put either beard oil or balm on, and I haven't had any beard ruff yet(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160703/7f7a2ae17d010ba570b21d3dfc7054b4.jpg)Right, that's why I read baby shampoo, cause well, what else can be softer on a face? I just washed up and it's not bad, I must say it even smells soft, but I'll be looking online for something, they just didn't have anything at wallyworld..

My beard can get quite dirty working in construction, so I've always washed it with my regular shampoo, I do like to use oil and/or balm afterwards though. I've got some really nice Black Cherry Tobacco scented stuff from a place called No Blade Shall Invade, though my oil's getting low and he doesn't do that 'flavour' anymore so I'll be scouting around for something new soon enough.

My goatee is pretty much close to the longest it's ever been, some how it came up today as I was talking to the wife and I said something about growing the sides out, amazingly the wife didn't scream at me and kinda gave the ok, so long as it's kept neat,, only thing is it's still summer and I don't think it's going to happen till it gets cooler out..

Back a couple of years ago my wife and I started switching to more natural personal care products. All I use on mine is Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap to get it clean. I then put in some apple cider vinegar and rinse it out. I was really surprised how well it makes it soft.

I've been rocking a beard for about 5 years now. Vastly prefer the lower maintenance.Low maintenance is another reason I prefer a beard to clean shaven :tu: I hate having to bother with shaving, and this way I only have to shave a little around the beard. Much easier. Plus my neck tends to break out after every shave when I do my whole face, which is annoying.

I had problems with shaving my neck too. Though I think that was mainly that I used an electric razor. I've since switched to using a DE razor. That's helped a bunch.

You just need patience and a good barber to maintain it.
I go every 5-9 weeks and just shave my neck and cheeks once week.
Shaved head too

So I kinda did something, I took a pic on my pad, roughed the size and put a piece of paper on top, sketched it out, then found a very cheap piece of plastic and drew it on and cut it out.. the plastic is a little flimsy but I fig if it works I have a perfect thick piece of plastic that I can sketch it on and make a better, I really don't need a comb, just a layout? So I guess we'll see, any thoughts?

Yeah, there's certainly similarities in the growth pattern there. In different light conditions, mine can look stronger than the pic I posted, but intentionally posted one which shows the weaknesses. The chin area does actually have coverage, though it's quite thin and nearly blonde in places. The high cheeks are dark, but just sparse :-\ it doesn't look so bad from a distance, but closer in you can see the weaknesses, particularly I I light is hitting the skin underneath.Dude, same story with mine. In more natural light (outside in the sun especially) mine looks weaker for sure. Inside and/or from a distance looks just fine though. We're almost beard twins :rofl:

That's why we moved to Texas. This old man was getting too old to keep shoveling that heavy wet east coast snows!!!I myself grew up in the NE, and I kinda wanted to do what my grandparents did. My grandfather was in the air force and did a lot of traveling around the world, but just not in the U.S. So when he retired, they sold the house and car and bought a 5th wheel and truck, and well went to all states, they kept going back to Az, so after traveling for 8yrs sold the truck and trailer and bought into a park out there. Of course I got to go out and visit, funny part was after you get so used to the hot weather 65deg is freezing, yet to a someone used to cold it's like summer, so one morning he was pulling the golf clubs out in winter clothing and I was standing on the porch in a pair of boxers.. lol

I've just trimmed back my goatee to take focus off my growing mustache. It's against company policy to grow it while employed(but if you already have it it's ok, weird I know). Luckily I grow facial hair fast so by the end of the week it will be grown in enough that no one will notice. I want to go full beard but the wife is protesting it.That's freaking dumb.

I agree JR, it's stupid! Kind of a universal Hospitality thing though, most Hotels don't allow facial hair at all. Mine allows it but they don't like the look of someone growing in a beard, which does make sense. My last Resort was the same way. I've always ignored the rule and grown it anyway but it's hard because I'm a Manager and I have to lead by example.

I work with a guy who has a ZZ Top beard. It's quite epic actually. I've been scruffy fro the past 20 years and my female friends always tell me I should clean up. I get it but a full blown awesome beard is, well AWESOME.
It must be the same thing as some men not liking when their wife or gf cuts off all their hair :think:

I wonder what it is with wifey's and beards :think:. Scratchy? Unkempt looking?

That's funny, because it's always been the opposite of my situation. The wifey loves the beard, and once in 1998 when I went for a job interview and the place I was applying for had a no beard policy so I cut it off just before the interview, wifey hated it!!! Told me to not bother taking the job and grow the beard back. Once in 2005 or 6 when I trimmed ti down to a van dyke goatee, she hated that. But so did I and grew it back with no urging from the better half. Afterward, she told me if I cut it off again, she'd go get a butch haircut. We agreed I'd have the beard until death do us part. I don't like the idea of Karen with a short haircut!!!!

I can see if you got together with your significant others when you couldn't grow facial hair then grew out this massive beard. I've always done what I wanted when it came to appearance aside from work regulations. I had really long hair at one point working in kitchens and while the bosses weren't too pleased I always just wore a hairnet and bandana plus hat just so they'd keep quiet.
When I was married ( 20 yrs ) the wife preferred clean shaven, clean cut. When I struck out on my own ( business ) I rarely if even was clean shaven again. I don't have a thick logger beard ( too much native american blood I think ) but a #2-3 guard is best I can manage. Sometimes I shave and go with a van dyke which is where I am now. Stubble is growing in so I'll leave it this way till I fancy shaving again or not.
If I could grow out a full blown thick beard you bet I'd be doing that pronto.

I don´t have one and I won´t have one. I work in an authority and beards are not so well seen there. Usually my face is as a plain as a baby´s butt. Need to shave every two days.
Once I had an accident I nearly shot out my right eye with a metal shrapnel that went off a chisel and direclty onto my retina. Well, long long ago and I had to stay off from work for about two months. Did no shaving. My wife hated it. I can easiyl remember her "Remove that sauerkraut off your face - looks like an old cat!" ... and all that blabber.
Never did get any beard since then....

We were watching some family videos from as far back as "99" and the Mrs was like wow look how young you look! I loved the short face hair back then, so today for giggles I buzzed the sides and only put the trimmer on and did the goat, I wasn't going to shave the sides slick in this freaking weather! I must say I got to see those cute dimples on the wife's face that I haven't seen in a while, but this isn't going to stay trimmed, maybe in summer but not now!Haha, nice pic buddy ;)

Given my recent illness, it's been several weeks since I shaved down to my normal goatee. I'm considering leaving the full beard, and trimming down my goatee to match. Also pondering ordering some beard oil samples from First Olympian (http://firstolympian.com/) (based on a recommendation from a fellow bearded friend in the UK):tu: The oil makes a world of difference. A lot less itchy. A boars hair brush will distribute it well.

I heard baby oil kinda works, when I let it all grow a while back I tried it and I gotta say it made it softer, but I got tired of doing everything and just cut it all down to the goat.. I thought about letting it all grow again but by the time it starts to get anywhere summer will be here and I'll have to cut it back again..

However another question for my fellow beardies... it's been a while that my beard has been attempting to catch up with my goatee which I had originally. Does anyone experience a sort of flair out at the bottom edge (on your neck)? I've noticed it's begun to do that a lot despite attempts to train it otherwise, and since I usually shave all that away it's new to me. If you know what I'm talking about, how do you deal with it?
Post by: Roc on March 30, 2017, 12:55:29 AM
I ended up with generic beard oil, it seems to help with softness and itching.Totally natural. If you're like me the hair grows in an upward direction on your neck. The only thing you can do is let it grow long enough for it to start hanging down. Balm seems to help with this also. If you dont wish for your beard to get that long a good barber knows how to trim it shorter so that it doesn't push the hairs growing down out. Does this make sense? If not I'll try to think of a way to explain it better.

And that's pretty much it, oh, and nothing huge or expensive?

I've gotten by with the cheap $20 walmart special for the last 14 years. Yea, I've had three of them, but they worked! I currently have a very expensive Wahl trimmer and I absolutely hate it. It snags my beard hair and that really sucks.Yeah I think some of these totally expensive ones are just crap, there suppose to be soooo great because of how smooth the motor runs and all the digital display to give time left or even laser cutting assistance, like come on, seriously? Just need a good motor that turns, a good set of cutting blades and an adjustment setup, that's it, I'd just like to get something a little better then the $5 I've had preferably something rechargeable so I don't keep going through battery's..

Philips has a rechargeable (li-ion) grooming kit that has the adjustable trimmer in it. I think I paid less than $30 CDN for mine at the local Walmart. Been working fine for over a year now.
Phillips makes some good stuff! I think one of my longer lived trimmers was a phillips.

True, the one thing I don't understand about Philips is one item is nice and for like $30, yet the same thing goes for like $200? What's the diff? I know some stuff will have a digital read out, but everything else is the same?Philips has a rechargeable (li-ion) grooming kit that has the adjustable trimmer in it.

As for length, I started with longer then what I fig, then just kept going down till I felt it was ok, yeah you just change guard combs, but I don't need to keep going down by 1/64" to get that spot on, seriously? Like 30diff lengths?
No I didn't use it on the head cause I didn't know if it had enough juice, but heck it prob did, who knows maybe I'll try it out..

Post by: MadPlumbarian on October 25, 2017, 11:42:25 PM
I almost bought this one cause that’s the soap I use, but if you look at it the soap would have to be cut in half in order to fit? But that’s all I’d like just a small, mug size, scuttle, but I don’t shave much so no biggie..Ooh a shaving scuttle, I had one, I think it’s still buried under the sink, but it was too big so I switched to the simple mug..

My soap is flat bottomed, so it doesn't sit in the scuttle properly. I only put it on the sink for the pic, it normally sits on a shelving unit just to the side - and I don't have to share my bathroom with three others like you do :DMy soaps flat too, thus why I don’t understand why they have that scuttle, it’s going to sit way above the rim?

The proper scuttle soaps are round bottomed to sit in properly, and the flat bottomed soaps are usually refills for tins or pots .... but I didn't learn this till too late either :oops:I’m still learning as I go, no one ever taught me anything when it came to shaving, I’ve spent well over $2,000 getting expensive electric razors, or 2,3,or 4 blade razors, yet all to fall for a simple safety razor. I loved that one scuttle, it just takes up to much room, and takes to long to do anything, I’d just like to find a simple mug like scuttle where the soap just goes in unlike that other one I posted,
JR
Maybe something like these, idk?

They'd work with the scuttle soaps, just not the flat bottomed soap you have. Stick with the mug till you use up all the flat bottomed soaps, then see what's kicking around :tu:I think I understand that Col Conk scuttle a little better, if you look at it it’s got a grove for the brush to sit in on the handle, and if there was a puck of soap in it there would be no way it would sit, now the soap comes in a simple plastic container, so I think you pop that open and leave the soap in and just get a couple brushes and just work a lather on the top of that mug, close the soap back up and your good to go.. of course now that I want one I can’t find one, lol..

My solutions may not suit you:
1 Keep mo and beard below mouth trimmed fairly short (less likely to catch food, and easier to clean if it does happen)
2 Try and spill less food (get more in mouth. less elsewhere) ;)
3 Wash around mouth after eating (even if it is just a rinse w'out soap)

What do all you MTO Beardsmen do about the natural sieve growing around your chops?
- Anyone who has a big, bushy beard and claims not to get food in his beard when he eats is a liar.
- I try to keep my mustache/beard trimmed away from the top and sides of my mouth, which gives me a fighting chance of getting food into my mouth without contacting any facial hair, as long as my aim is true.
- After eating (and as necessary while eating), I wipe my beard with a napkin. Wet wipes are even better afterward, if available.
- When I shower, I thoroughly wash my beard. Soap and water are not sufficient. There are a number of specialty products on the market for this purpose, but I use the same shampoo I use on my hair, and it seems to work fine.
