[Closed] I am growing a beard... who's with me?

It look ginger!

First time I am guessing? I'll prob grow one in winter again.

It looks ginger!

I am a red head so why wouldn't it be!!!

yay, snuggly manfest :o)

I had a beard but read that and went and shaved it off.

cynic-al - na grew one a while back but naver managed to get it like great rocks (ED)

That's pretty pathetic after a week. Unless its a bad picture, it hardly looks like anything is there.

Have you got a nichemobile? Or at least a SS?

Jonny-come-lately

richiethesilverfish - just so you can grow a new one 🙂 ???

A week? Have your bales dropped yet?

Looks like he is too.

I've not shaved for a week 🙂

RealMan - i know 🙁 it is pathetic but it's the best i can do :'( and done even ride a SS (any more) :'(

Well at least you must have a marin?

no not even a Marin, but i do have an on-one and a CX bikes...

Nezbo: you need to eat more red meat or something - your "beard" is my five o'clock shadow (except ginger) 😆

Maybe we should start beardytrackworld. Everyone posts a picture of their chins ever week and we compare and admire.

Careful, the [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/january-beard ]January beard[/url] thread on here last year has resulted in me being a beardy weirdy.

i grew two beards over the summer. guiding and living in a van meant that it was too much hassle to shave and it added to my rugged mountain man image.

only shaved when i got near to an electric razor, and even then only down to a number 2. shaved again the other day as i don't think my mum would recognise me when i see her next week.

i grew two beards

I'm assuming you need a double chin for that.

Not a chance in hell!

or shave it off and let it grow again..... wanted to let it grow for the whole summer, but the GF didn't recognise me when i saw her first time after two months and thought that if i wanted to sleep in her bed then the beard had to go.

thought that if i wanted to sleep in her bed then the beard had to go

She'd let her self go au naturale then while you were away then.

I have not shaved for 6 days, had a lazy week... so it looks a bit like a beard... does that count ? 🙂

Yep... Mounty_73 - that is what i did and just now decided to grow a beard.

I've got a Brazillian.

I let mine grow, then it gets to a certain point and it starts to itch, then it gets shaved off...............and yes I am talking about the beard! 🙂

Beard for 5 years now, sadly trimmed occasionally

I've got a Brazillian.

what's his name?

+1 for ginger beard. Had mine since Jan. Get a Remington beard trimmer. I keep mine at a designer stubble-like 3-4, sometimes longer.

I rarely shave - just use an i-trim stubble trimmer. Works quite well. As I'm lacking in hair, I look like a baked bean when clean shaven, so only when smart only. Only recent pic example I have is the AWESOME yacht driving one - not posting that again!

Why not wait until 'Movember'? That way you have an excuse for looking a bit of a prat/paedo.... [url=

It's so frikken itchy I can't get past about 4 days, and I grow less than the OP!

I've not shaved for about 5 years, trim it down every week or so, I too suffer from GBS (Ginger Beard Syndrome)

jebus - even i do better than that after a week ....

i was sporting 4 weeks of growth - due to forgetting to pack a razor.....

found some scissors last night and attacked it ! maybe back to 2 weeks growth again ! another 4 weeks before i can get to a razor that doesnt cost me 20 quid

It's so frikken itchy I can't get past about 4 days

It's itchy for a day or so, then it's fine. I've not shaved properly since the January Beard thread, just use a trimmer to go really short every so often (usually when I have to actively dry my beard after a shower) - no itching since the first week.

Four [i]days[/i] growth from clean shaven - and yes, it's mostly grey now aged 35. Dammit.

I too suffer from GBS (Ginger Beard Syndrome)

All men have it. Even an Iranian friend of mine, with typical jet-black hair and beard, has a few ginger ones in his beard. There'll be denials, for sure, but all men have a dash (or two) of ginger...

Nezbo = Barbarossa

it's about 4 weeks for me, started when I was rather ill and couldn't be arsed to shave, feeling slightly better now but I still can't be bothered to shave it off.

The wife quite likes it so it'll probably stay for a bit, might even try for a zztop special.

Nezbo. I seriously reckon this is one of the bravest posts I've ever seen on singletrack......

😆

I've had one for years, too lazy to shave.

I'm 37 and even now my efforts to grow a beard are pathetic.
