I'm growing a beard, me

johnnydawg68 · October 21, 2013

Never actually done it. I'm a little over a week in. Growing my hair out too. For the winter. Going full on hippie and/or mountain man. It feels like such a grown up thing to do.

Next I'll be drinking scotch and wearing bathrobes.

Mate I'm 2 weeks in to my beard and it looks pathetic. I've seen better on female London bus drivers ffs. Gonna tough it out 1 more week and if I don't look like captain haddock then it's coming off.

i imagine yours will have magpies nesting in yours after a few days ffs. Jealous here

I'm currently on my best one ever mate.

Nearly 7 weeks now.

My best mate said I look like a '****ing tramp' earlier.

Ace.

Honestly I grow facial hair at the rate of a schoolboy. I don't have a thick beard at all. On top of that it's a mix of gray and dark, so it's not really showing up all that well. I've had a goatee for like 20 years but never gone all the way.

I'm going to tough it out though. I'll post pics when you can actually see the damn thing.

The Das Boot U Boat look is the one, tramp is sufficient though.I salute you.

I'd be happy with a bit of grey in mine but, disturbingly, there's a smattering of ginger in there.

Im only growing it because every band I work with these days are all sporting lustrous facial hair, and they tend to be a lot younger than me. I'm hoping that my prepubescent offering will convince them that I'm actually a teenager who happens to have a lot of wrinkles

Big up the terrible fluffy beard for me.

Currently 3 weeks in and it is itching like a [Poor language removed].

I'm growing my hair out for my Ron Swanson Halloween costume. I can't grow a beard. I've gone 3 weeks without shaving and it wasn't pretty.

I also have ginger bits on my beard. Well, the bits that aren't going grey, anyway.

All three of them.

Haven't been clean shaven since they grew out both ends of me. It's the way the good Lord intended and himself with a face that a raccoon would mate with. The missus has to tackle it when it gets out of control, she's like one of them doctors that got hold of Saddam Hussein before they stretched him. What was the point?
