Was clean shaven the day I became a house husband, and have just trimmed a wild one every now and then. Was expecting a cold winter and wanted some good face protection while chasing ducks and geese. No cold, but diggin the beard. Might see how long itll grow before I cant stand it anymore! My ugly mug about 3 weeks ago.

I've gotten a wild hair, and tried that myself a time or two. About 1 1/2 months is all I can take before I trim it back down short............

Lived in Alaska a couple times for about 10 years. Tried it and I just felt dirty with it on. I can cover my face when cold.

If you look down and can't see your beard, you ain't doin' it right.

Haven't shaved for years, but kept my beard knocked down regularly with electric clippers. Retired just a couple months ago and haven't used the clippers for a while, and I notice a few women smiling at me when I'm out ... or imagine.

well the dog looks good!! Whatever you do please do NOT use that get the grey out junk. I used it a couple of years ago and wound up at the doc in a box with a serious reaction that called for steroids and the inability to shave for a month. Felt and looked like I had a severely bad poison ivy voodoo mojo underneath all of my beard.

i cut my hunting season beard off today since its the end of the regular season. feels great. i started a hunting beard tradition years ago, but a couple months of wearing one is all i can take. feels like a crust on my face.

Tried the beard this summer and once I got past the itches it was ok. Finally shaved it off though. It's the in-tween that killed me.

I am working on one right now. I have a group of Varsity scouts I am taking to a Mountain Man rendezvous in March and want to look the part. I am doing the mennonite thing this time.

I'm growing my winter protection right now. I DO still trim it, as I am on public display at my job. The winter no haircut deal is harder for me. I kinda look homeless.

I had my goatee down to my chest but it started scaring people. I shaved it all off now. I'm tempted to re grow it but it is always a challenge when eating soup, cereal, blowing your nose ect. that reminds me that I probably won't let it grow that long again?

I'm into mine about two months now. Wife said it made me look younger, I said how much, she said about a year. I've had a mustache for over 50 years, but never a beard. I'll probably keep growing till I get back from my Alabama deer hunt the middle of January.

I refuse to shave between October 1 and March 1. The rest of the year is optional. I don't like wearing a beard as much as I hate shaving.

I've had a beard for the last 26 years. Shaved it off twice or three times just because, for a day or two. Mustache has always been on the weak side though. About 15 years ago, I decided to not cut it for awhile, at least a year was my goal, just for science. I'd post a picture, but unfortunately when my ex left (no relation to the beard thing), she took every picture album I had for spite and I haven't seen them since. In fact, when I attended a friends wedding as the Best Man, it looked like Brett Keisel of the Pittsburg Steelers beard, and I hadn't made it to a year yet. I was working in Tennessee at the time and often confused for being Mennonite (think "Amish" further north). Got pulled over once for a random check by the Highway Patrol, the guy did a double take when he saw the drivers license photo and said, "Whoa! Quite a change!" After 18 months or 2 years, I finally cut back to a more socially acceptable beard.

October was 2 years without trimming. I have to knock the 'stash back every once in a while but otherwise leave it alone.
