Who has it! What kind do you have? Van Dyke? Full beard? Simply Sideburns? Full on Mutton Chops! Neckbeards for you Linux. . . Enthusiasts?

I never really grew out my beard until about a year ago. I've got a Van Dyke thing going on off and on. I've grown it out about 3 times over the past year. I have this weird little place near the corners of my mouth where my hair doesn't fully come in, and right under my chin i don't get the little strap. Kind of sad but other than that it comes in okay.

I'm not really experienced with shaving it so the main reason I shaved down to bare skin the first two times is that I irreparably shaved in too far

It can be a real hassle to keep it looking good and even when I only shave with my right hand. I've seen products that you hold up to your face as kind of a guideline about where to shave, and I know it's retarded but i'll be honest, I've considered it.

Anyways that's my story, feel free to post pics, questions or comments about facial hair!

Same here, I only shave once a week. The only person who really gets any facial hair is my brother but it's only on his neck lol

I did braid and pin it for quite some time to make it look smaller while I grew it out.

The hair has been growing for over 1.5 years; the beard was started maybe 8-9 months ago but I trim it frequently (my facial hair is too coarse and rigid for comfort when extra long)!

lol moonprismpwr drew that for me! the pink bow was her artistic touch, and I felt that it was fitting since my dog's name is Peach and was named after Princess Peach from Mario Bros. (whose color happens to be pink!)

I'm not really sure what you would call it I just have a little hair on my chin. I don't like having an actual beard; I trim it when it gets a little long, but just a little somethin somethin looks good i think xD

It's worse....he's clearly addicted to stimulants...look at the big coffee pot on his counter. And that glue....Elmers glue clearly has no other use than for sniffing.

This thread is a great idea. Here's a pic of my wife and I from around May. I keep it this length most of the time, but it does get considerably bushier in the winter.

EDIT: It doesn't want to upload. I'll work on it.

He was also the clone Picard in Nemesis. But I doubt many people would remember that one.

I got the beard down pat but the mustache doesn't grow on the sides so if I try to grow it out I end up looking like a member of the 3rd Reich circa 1933 - '45.

My beard gets coppery in the summer from the sun, but when I trim it for the last time each year (around the beginning of September), it stays dark until the following summer. I have a streak running from the left corner of my mouth down (widening as it goes) under my chin... weird.

My beard has hints of red... but these days the grey coming into it is far more noticeable. Apparently I'll be just like the rest of the family men in that I keep my head of hair and my facial hair is greying early.

My wife calls me Johnny Redbeard. It is quite red in sunlight. My wife is a redhead too.

Also a fan of ginger babes, granted my favorite color is red...

Edit: My mother swears that my totally blonde goatee thing hints red. I can't see it...
