Hi beard grandmaster
I am currently at day 79 of 120 days growing a beard to raise money for cancer research uk. I have been posting images on a weekly basis on facebook.
Please visit my http://www.justgiving.com/wearing-the-beard120 to view my progress.
My beard has excellent shape but is extremely thick. Even though I look older I don’t care it’s great!
Regards
Steve

Don’t forget my favorite, the King Tut! No stache or burns, just a long straight column below the chin. Thanks for the tips, and I enjoy the site.

thank you
at 52 years of age I’ve finally grown some face hair for the very first time, got a sort of ‘Lemmy’ from Motorhead effort, tried the full jobby but It had more patches than a forty-a-day abstainer, your tips have come in handy, thanks again.

I love this page and come back to it every once in a while to get a chuckle and see if by chance there are any new additions. This is the first time I’ve seen this topic so thought I would chime in. In college I trimmed off most of my beard and went for the fu manchu with mustache. I did it on a dare one night when we were significantly under the influence. The next day I decided I dug it and didn’t shave the fu for about 6 months! It got to the point where it hung about 6 inches from my chin. lol. College. Anyway once it got longer with no other hairs to keep it in line and support it it got quite squirly and curly and generally looked all wrong. To keep it in line and nice and straight I would steam a hand towel with my clothes iron and while the towel was nice and hot I would wrap it around the “tusks” of the fu and pull downward. Worked pretty well! Then I got a narrow hair straightener and it worked even better without the hassle. Then I put a little sculpting gel in it and it stayed perfect all day!

Hey man, you rock! And I’ve never used that expression before because I’m English and I usually say something like, “blimey, you’re exceedingly funny” so that was a result! I’ve just spent 2 hours of my morning perusing your dastardly beardish archives!

The best way that I have found to take my dark black unruly Beard and moustache is to go to Sallys Beauty supply and pick up 5$ box ogSoftSheen Carson.. Dark and Lovely SUPER— This is a RELAXING Lotion for Coarse Hair….Does not contain LYE. Per The Instructions , mix the 2 lotions and with a small brush (such as an eyeliner Brush) you can place the Relaxing lotion directly on the hair and not on the skin. It is recommended to rub some vasoline around your lips, and areas of skin around your Goatee/Beard, so that the Relaxing lotion will not get in tough of the sensitive skin. I followed theses instructions and left the lotion on for the recommended 18 minutes . and WALAA, my new moustach and Goatee are super soft to the touch, no longer poking straight out, lays flat and is more touchable and pleasing

I’ve never considered the hair training method. Interesting. Typically I’ll just let it go wild when it wants to, but when s/o complains, a little conditioning usually will do the trick to weigh it down a bit.

I am requesting that you add the “joe dirt” which is mutton chops with a goatee, soul patch, and mustache, but none of them connecting. It’s the best I can grow, but darned if the ladies don’t love it.

Thanks for the beard types. I have a handlebar and chin thing going on. I don’t pull out the handlebars to full points because my wife HATES it when I do that. It was really great to see how many styles you have done. You are an inspiration.

Great Site. I will be back. I have worn a beard (except for a couple of shaves for Main Ladies who wanted a real face check) since I got out of the Army in ’73. I wasn’t shaving yet when I signed up and stopped when I got out.
Usual since ’94 is a shaved head w/moustache and goatee, but most winters I go for the full blown bushy Santa. Since it started turning white this is quite effective and gives one a fresh pallette in January to try out strange stuff during the removal.
I agree with wax for the stache and butchwax is just as good and cheaper than the little tube your barber will sell you.

Well, I found it funny i stumbled on this page only 2 days after entering the duster race. For those who don’t know, The duster is an annual event at the residence of my university. Last year I got 2nd place out of about 15 guys, went from Sep 17 to sometime in Feb. Rules are
1) No shaving. At all. Not even trimming
2) Must be visible after a week. Baby faces aren’t allowed in because they don’t have to look like a hobo for months and months
3) All Entries, upon the end of the race, buy the winner a drink at the campus bar.

Good time, I had one of the worst looking beards around and got 2nd place, I’m in it to win this year. Gonna try and use some of these tips to outlast the competition. Thanks!
