I saw a guy with large, bushy, caterpillar-like eyebrows and no beard the other day.  Someone behind me said, Damn, that dude has TWO unibrows!

That would be a 'chinstrap' beard. I've got what I describe as a 'goat beard'. Like a goatee sans the mustache.

As for me, I prefer a mustache that is shaved right in the middle.

I've had a full beard for a couple years now.  Three months ago I stopped trimming it, with the goal of being able to braid it for a big party next year.  Will also be rocking a kilt at this party. :D

I always find it fascinating when people grow a beard that's a different colour from the rest of their hair. One of my teachers' beard is ginger in the middle, but nowhere else. It's some scottish gene apparently.

It would be better with a large hole in the middle, so your balls can hang naturally.

That's a shame.  It's amazing how much head you get when they don't feel like they're about to floss.  That, and it can add 1-3 virtual inches depending on what kind of forest you naturally pack.

Start with a beard trimmer, finish/maintain with a Braun 5000 series.  I will not take a real blade there; besides that, it leads to crazy razor bumps.  Electric all the way.  That, and blade shaves hair to point instead of a flat cut.  This can lead to further irritation.

Well I don't know about you gents, but I stopped doing the shave thing a year ago this month.  I'd previously grown a beard during the winter and shaved it off the first day it got over 30C, but I persevered this year and kept it going.  I look back at pictures and can't get over how young I looked without my beloved beard.
I'll add pics if anyone wants them.  It's not epic proportions or anything, I've only started letting it get a bit longer over the last month and a half.  A randomly plucked chin whisker comes in at 3.2" today.  Not sure where I'm going with it, but I have been keeping it shaped nicely.  Last year, since I follow the "don't shave for 6 weeks, THEN shape the neck-line" policy, it got a little out of control and ended up looking unkempt.  Homeless may be a bit strong, "granola" may work, if that makes any sense.

So do you often offer to show them the Southron regions to prove which is the Natural color ?


My beard/mustache tends to have alot of red in it.  Where I have dark brown hair on my head.

Could be.  I have a streak of lighter red starting at the left corner of my mouth that makes a widening wave (think boat-wake) as it goes down my chin and neck.  The rest is darker.  I'm 29 and I just noticed I have about 5 or 6 silver hairs in that streak... can't wait for that to spread around.  I've wanted gray hair since I was 15.

I don't sport a beard but I regularly forget or "forget" to shave. I don't really mind except I don't wear a tie if I have no time to shave, because of the contrast between the unkempt unshaved look and a dressy shirt and tie. Personal quirk.
