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!

I simply have to come back here, if not just to post an image or two. Cool way to try out different styles, man. :oD I too have grown an apprx. 10-12 inch beard in the last four years. Maybe I can upload an avatar one of these days... All the best. /T Oh. I simply have to come back here, if not just to post an image or two. Cool way to try out different styles, man. :oD

Also LOL @ Joyce. Is Butch wax the way to go? I met a man with a (I swear this is true I was in Home Depot near the measuring tapes) 16 inch wide handlebar who swore by the stuff. I've basically got a modified (by way of lacking enough follicles in the 'tween the stache and beard area) van dyke, the beard gets a bit wacky in places and the longer bits of the stache (there to take up slack for the MIA follicles) try to fly away.

Basically a guy out to escape the tyranny of the ruling class by setting off to find a place for himself in the world. He meets some folks, makes some speeches, and saves some damsels, then somehow finds himself sitting on an unwanted throne hailed as a savior. All he wanted was to have a few laughs and score some tail... Your throne is made from discarded facial hair, my friend. All hail the reluctant KING.

I consider you one of the leading thinkers in the field. What do you recommend in the way of tools for keeping it under control? Safety razor kind of hacks things up so I'm thinking of going to a straight razor (which is more manly anyway) to shape it. I have been going to the barber to keep it trimmed, but at $5 a pop I'm thinking I should just do it myself. Do you recommend scissors, dedicated beard trimmers, or just plain old hair trimmers (which is what I think my barber uses). Thanks! Dave Hey Jon,

I'll keep that in mind during MaBeGroMo. But as Jolly Bloger says I think wax just might be the ultimate beard conqueror, adding a little oils and weight and stuff can't be a bad thing.

I swear by wax for the hair on top of my head, as well as on the front of it. More effective than gel or grease, without any of the crunchy or sloppy side effects. Indispensable for mustache curling too. Try wax. I swear by wax for the hair on top of my head, as well as on the front of it.
