It's Beard Growing Season Boyos. Who's In? (GTFIH)

[DeadlyStriker]

Started growing mine a month ago. Fall and winter are right around the corner.

A beard is nature's scarf.

Just trying to decide what type of beard I want to go for this year.

Who's in?

Might just go for a big beard again like this.

[Ausaric]

I find them
Itchy and uncomfortable

[mcdojo]

from what I remember you got a strong jaw, you shouldnt grow a big beard, thats for weakjaw brahs that need to hide. short beard or stubble to accentuate the jawline

You need a beard wash and oil. First time I grew a beard without those two I spent most of the time itching and my face hurting.

I get it though.

Great way to cover that norwood

Yea but winter here is brutal. I always shave clean for spring/summer and grow a beard for fall/winter. I like when it's -20f here and my lips never get chapped and I don't need a scarf or face covering.

Basically this, yea.

Yea screw minoxidil unless you have really really bad beard genetics. It took me time and patience to be able to grow a beard. I'm in the awkward stage now where my chin/neck/stache are thick and full already but my cheeks and sideburns take forever to grow in.

Very nice beard op.

I cut mine a while ago. Kinda miss it. Kinda don't. Everyone thought I was Arabic.

People would come up to me speaking Arabic. Lol

Maybe I should grow it back out.

Das it mane. Definitely IN. Your OP pic looks good.

Posted this in my own thread a few days ago, but I’m at about 9 months growth. Aiming for a yeard (chin length, will maintain the sides).

Very nice beard op.

Ded @ the Arabic comment. I had a dude from the UAE come up to me at a gas station recently greeting me with “alhamdulillah“ calling me “habibi” and asking where I’m from lmao srs. I personally don’t even think I look middle eastern (too fair skinned) but for some reason the beard makes people think twice.

[CellyTech]

Yup I'm around 6 months into growing it atm, I think its coming on pretty well.

nicely done - congrats

I wish I could find a decent shop to give mine some panache

[ArnoldLibCuck]

There's no such thing as a "beard growing season". That's some nonsense that millennial guys with weak facial hair genetics came up with in order to give themselves an entire month ("no shave November", hur hur!) to grow out their dainty goatees and choppy sideburns while normalizing it. It's the equivelent of bald guys who seriously need to get it over with and shave their heads clean, but they refuse to and keep growing their hair out excessively long, thereby exacerbating how bad it looks.

So the trophy says short beard - what is the designation there? and how is it measured?

[ajdahlheimer]

They measure from the bottom of your lower lip:

6" or less - Short Beard (mine was 5.75")

Over 6" - Long Beard (some dudes had over foot long beards there)

Free-style - reserved for crazy mustaches, dye-jobs, wires, braids, etc. (a black dude with a dreaded beard won this category at the show)

I am dead on at a foot right now with my haphazard measurement

Season? I never cut it.

Thats just in the initial stage (first 2.5 weeks or so) after that you don't even feel it.

[lightsarefallin]

Nice beard, boyo. I used to rock a big beard. I'd brush and oil it daily. Now, I keep it short but I trim using scissors, never an electric razor. I only use the latter for my neck line. I've found that's the best way to keep a nice full beard.

[OffwhiteBrah]

lolled @ "short beard"

[ajdahlheimer]

Thanks. It stays pretty soft with a cheap beard conditioner in the shower and then a beard mousse applied while it is still wet prior to blow drying.

lolled @ "short beard"

You wouldn't laugh if you saw the lengths of some of the beards in the "long beard" category there, brah.

Straight up ZZ Top beards.
