yo. you grow your beard yet?

Yup - still on it and experimenting with it.

It’s not a science kit. It’s a beard. Just let the shit go.

And do not…..not….ever shave it into a Charlie Batch chin strap. Or if you gained weight shave that little line to illustrate where the chin used to be

None of that. Just let it get lumberjack raggedy

I’m letting it go, but I’m not gonna have hair under the chin and down the neck - nope

like full jawline style that fades to bald

I’m late to the party on this, but on such an inconsequential night where nothing else worthy of discussion is occurring, I thought I’d add my 2 cents.

And that’s all this is worth. 2 cents. And I do not have change for $100. Or $1. Pennies. That’s what I want.

My beard has nothing to do with handsomeness. My current beard, which I’ve had for years, is solely because I’m fat, I‘ve remained fat, and my beard makes my face look marginally less fat. So this may not even be worth 1 cent. But if you want to grow a beard, just deal with it (as others have said).

Once upon a time I grew a beard occasionally for various reasons besides obesity, and every time the process of growing it out was miserable. So itchy. So uncomfortable.

It goes away. Seriously, it does. The last few times I grew out a beard I knew it was coming, so it was easier to push through. Just know it does get better.

As far as products, I’ve tried a few. Some I stopped using because they would literally stain our towels. Not that I care much about our towels, but if I don’t notice a significant difference then what’s the point? And I never noticed a significant difference. I have a Buffalo Trace beard product now, because, bourbon, but I’m not sure it has ever made a significant differences. Way more often than not I don’t use anything and haven’t noticed any significant irritation in years (except when my toddlers decide to use it as a toy).

Also, the gray hairs in the beard are real. Not a single gray that I’ve seen on my head, some snowy whites in the beard. Have no idea what that’s about.

I salute you for posting in this thread tonight.

This thread is hopping. Double digit posts today. Are you suggesting there’s something more important to discuss on a Lions message board than how to properly maintain one’s mane?

Chin camo. Or, more to the point, chin(s) camo.

It doesn’t work for everyone, but absolutely a beard can enhance the jawline. Whether filling out a smaller chin or providing camo for a double chin, some benefit from facial hair for reasons other than just embracing random style choices.

The biggest problem with using the beard as chin camo is when it eventually betrays you and turns gray.

My 8 year old niece said she is going to steal my beard comb so my beard will be “cray-cray”. She also wants me to put Christmas lights in it. I don’t know what she had in mind for cray-cray but I did fluff it out for her.

It’s the same thing as asking someone with perfect faith to switch religions.

NEVER!
