I tried facial hair...once. It wasn't pretty and all these really strange older chicks started hitting on me. I wasn't comfortable with that.
Hey folks,
Once in a lifetime a man has to let his beard grow. Don't you think so, too? I think the idea is appealing to most men and most of my friends including myself have tried it. At least a 10 weeks grow. Unfortunately, I didn't make any pictures, but if the times is right and the moment feels good I'm gonna let a full beard grow again. It felt kind of cool, I knew that poeple were looking at me because of the beard, I felt like my appearance was let us say more serious (I trimmed the beard, it was not wildly growing). I had to cut it, because my wife didn't like the scratching.....shaving was a though thing because if you let your beard grow, you get used to it and in fact you do not want to shave the beard. In some way the outer appearance influences the inner appearance, in some way you change.
Nowadays, I wear a moustache plus chin beard, the pirate beard that you see in my avatar ;-)
How about you, have you ever let it grow? Do you have pictures you can show? What was your experience?
To all of you who never made that experience I suggest trying it. It's worth it! :

Growed some out just before Halloween to compliment my pirate get up but I shaved it off after. It takes forever for my facial hair to grow out and it's not very thick so off it went. I don't want to look too old just yet either.

I'm 43 years old and I still don't need to shave every day. I tried growing a beard once in my 30s, but the longer hair just made my face itch.

I have a full beard for 10 years. I keep it somewhat trimmed so I look "professional" enough for my job, but it's still a thick full beard. My skin never reacted well to shaving. I finally figured out that I didn't need to be doing that to myself every day, or ever again. I like the beard much better. My wife does too.

I grew a mustache once. I looked like a d*ck with it (no, not literally). Haven't tried again....

i don't like a full beard but have had a goatee for over 20 years....it varies in length depending on my mood....from close shaven to 4 or 5 inches....i have kept it long for a number of years because i kept my hair really short (buzz cut) but now that i'm letting my hair grow out again i might keep it shorter....

at 15, I convinced a 25 year old girl I was 20 and she dated me for a week before she gave me the axe.
I also never got carded at a bar because I started growing all my wonderful facial (and body) hair in the 4th grade.
I have to shave everyday with that stupidly expensive stupid fusion thing from gillette or else it goes down to the floor.
I usually grow a winter Go-T but it's such a pain to trim that this year I might skip it, not sure. It'll get thicker than the hair on my head, which pisses me all off.
edit to clarify on the 25 year old

I think I've done enough damage already...I mean...just look at me. You'd think I was Jo-Jo the dog-faced boy.
Full beard for ten years now. I had to shave it off twice because I accidentally slipped while trimming it.

I had a mustache/chin hair (NBA style) for a number of years, but shaved it off about a year ago because it made me look old. With I look 54, without - 53.
Tried growing a beard once, but it only came in full on my cheeks - looked like an *** end of a poodle.

Twenty years behind the beard for me. The price I paid for being a folk musician is my excuse. I've been beard free for about five years now. One day at a time
