Following on from the 'Shall I shave my beard' thread, and the comments below it, I thought we could have a permanent (or not, depends on the weather...) fixture showcasing the finest beards this parish has to offer.
Plus, I wanna see DezB's dirty manly face again..I miss him....
So, I'll start witha "moody arty number" taken..ooh, 25 seconds ago.

I do not deny - I DEFINITELY followed fashoin and thought 'let's go full hipster' and properly went for it!!!

I do not have an impressive beard but I have had it for the past 44 years. So I claim it must be one of the longest here, though quite definitely non-hipster.
I shaved my beard but unfortunately the family response was 'my God, is that what you really look like? Please grow it back'.
So I have.
though quite definitely non-hipster.
Saying you were into beards before they were cool is definitely full hipster

Oh this is rather satisfying 🙂
Dude, I know it’s hot but is your beard melting - it’s nearly slid off your face. Or is it not hipster for it to cover your actual cheeks these days?
Plus, I wanna see DezB’s dirty manly face again..I miss him….
You won't see my face on here cos I can't grow a beard. I'm a lady.
Oh Dez!!!
You coming to BBB???
DrP
I am. And that kid of mine, who is about the same height as me now and has a deeper voice. 😀
Remember these 2, DrP? 😆
This doesn't feel like much of a club, more like the intro to Fresh Prince. Just a couple of guys.......

I cut mine off for the first time in about eighteen years and immediately regretted it. Now on its way back, but I wouldn’t class it as a beard yet as you can still see my neck.
How it was last year 😕
How it looks now (not a proper beard)
Forgot all photos have been ‘privatised’...
the world doesn’t need another beardie ****er photo...

most recent, but its a bit longer now by another inch or 2
Less of a beard, more an unkempt growth of facial hair. Not been any different for the past 30 years. I usually give it a trim once a month, or whenever I am going somewhere other than cycling or to market.
^ I honestly can't tell if that pic is serious or if you have stolen a photo of 'The Murphy'?

My beard is like nobeerinthefridge’s. Trimmed it today, feeling better about it than yesterday. I feel I’m better looking/it disguises the ugliness with it.
lol @ Walleater. Having never even heard of "the Murphy" until I just googled it then the answer is that it is a serious pic 🙂 I called in at a friend on the way home from cycling at Afan hence the fact I am wearing contacts and covered in mud. She was in the process of setting up a small home studio and asked to take the photo to try out some lighting. I would say it is a very atypical shot of me, but I like it.
I feel I’m better looking/it disguises the ugliness with it.
In my case, gives less of a 43 year old bald baby/potato look.
Welshfarmer = Djokovic with a beard
Ever seen these two in the same room?

I'm just bitter coz I can't grow a beard beyond a few measly pubes on my chin (yet my eyebrows and nostril hair grow with wild abandon)
Mine is usually about this length but I have trimmed it right down now, was getting too unpleasant in the heat for me.

I can grow a good goatey but wish I could grow magnificent mutton chop sideburns to go with my love of Fred Perry styling. At 48 I may have to give up hope. Sigh.
