I’m about 10 days into my xmas beard already – convinced the wife that if its ok for Prince William its good enough for me. Ive got a week before work to “develop it”. Does baby-bio encourage growth I wonder – lol
I have 17-year-old students who can grow a better beard than me. It’s genetic; apparently my dad tried to grow a soup strainer but gave up after three weeks when there was virtually no sign of a tache.
Mine’ll be only 5 days old when I go back to work, so will just look like a scruffy git. But I look like that every Friday, so it shouldn’t make much difference.
I’m in too, despite getting some blades and shaving soap for Xmas!
I’ll shave tonight and post a pic then let the stubble begin! Anyone else wanting to join in should do the same and we’ll have a beard-off each week (friday?) to chart the (lack of) progress.
Friday evening/Saturday morning are probably when people are most likely to have time to take and upload photos, or is that just me? The last day of the month is a Saturday too.
Add this thread to your favourites so there will be no need to start a new thread every week I will take a pic as soon as possible. I will either shave tonight or tomorrow.
epicyclo I think there is the need for two classes, if women join hoping to win a prize for worst beard knowing they wont even have stubble thats wrong.
Thats face beard mike!
Post your pic at anytime over the weekend a day or two isnt really going to make much difference is it?
I already have a month’s growth going on… don’t want to shave it off to join in, but I look forward to welcoming you all to the beard club by the end of the month 🙂 Beards are the future!
I’m 41 and still can’t grow anything like a good one.
Would love to have a good one for SSUK09 but I can’t rep to my customers with patches of bum fluff in patches over my chin. I’ve even got grey ones coming through 🙁
Shaved this morning and just got my eldest to take a photo of me. I’ll get it uploaded and post it here in a minute or two. I look bloody old in it; in my defence, I’ve been ill.
I’ll enjoy watching this play out.
However, I’m not shaving my beard to join in… I’ve already resolved to see how long I can grow the goatee part. Not trimmed the bit on my chin since I started. I keep telling the kids I teach that I’m going to platt (sp?) it when it gets longer 😮
I can’t do the full beard as nothing will grow on my sides, so I’m just going for a big mustache/goatee as unkempt as I can get away with.
I have just had a shave; Merkur HD razor with Feather blades and Taylor’s soap…damn near bled to death! 3 pass shave (with, across and against the grain) so now I am baby-butt smooth and ready to start growing my face-warmer.
Only spanner in the works is the Mrs demanding that I shave it off if I start to look like a tramp!
