THREAD RULES:

Manly Men:
- post your current age
- post either date or then-age with any photos that you share

Non-men:
- all male posters who cannot grow facial hair are not men, they are man apprentices
- female posters will be reluctantly tolerated under the following conditions:

No fewer than one of the following criteria is met:
1) admire / admit attractiveness of manly man / men's manly face(s)
2) admit jealousy of manly man / men's manly face(s)
3) post picture(s) of your non-man face, which manly men will ridicule and man apprentices will set as their desk tops, or save to a special folder for later

If neither criterion is met, 1 and 2 will be inferred from your post.


This isn't intended to be an extention of the Octobeard / Moustache March thread, it's a general beards and facial hair thread for those of us who wish to post our own manly faces and keep track of each other's manly progress reports.

I figured I would start this thread on this forum because someone from another forum started a similar thread and it took me over three hours on my shitty dial up connection to upload my 23 ½ hour photo and sort through my facebook photos just to find the three others that I was looking for. To be orderly and concise, I will contribute in my following post, rather than this one.
 
I'm only 16. I just get some on the bottom of my chin and various other spots including all over the upper lip. It hasn't filled out enough to be visible but it gets annoying so I shave every couple of weeks.
 
CURRENT AGE: 25

Now that having a beard is no longer a novelty and my neck starts itching after a couple days, I don't have the enthusiam for beard growing that I used to. I still grow a new one every couple days though, because I can't not do it anymore.

Fortunately though, my ideal lengths for comfort and appearance are exactly the same, which is convenient. The window lasts from about one day to four days after shaving, as seen below.

23 ½ hours (five hours ago, age 25)

Four days? (October 2008, age 24)

I don't really do anything creative with my facial hair anymore though, because I've found that just letting it grow in naturally seems to look the best anyway. In high school though, two of my friends and I grew our goatees out just to see how long they would get and that was kind of fun for a while.

The only other time that I've done something other than goatee or a clean shave is this one time when I let my then girlfriend try to shave my face. She ended up unable to finish because she was laughing so hard at the mess she made, so I salvaged this from the wreck, but only kept it for a couple of days.

I can grow a fairly large blond beard but it wont cover my whole face, and it's too fluffy.

I asked my dad about it and he said he couldn't grow a proper beard until he was about 25.
 
The males in my family have always had trouble growing hair.
It seems to go the other way as my uncle was fully bald at 24.

:erk:
 
Hair on my chin grows quite well, but it soon curls up and looks fucking terrible. Maybe they need to get straightened or something? Unfortunately I shaved off a few months worth and now I have to start again arghh!!
 
I've been shaving since I was fucken 13 I'm OVER it man! I hate facial hair! If I had it my way I'd genetically modify myself so I could be clean shaven for the rest of my life.
 
I think I just fell in love with Tara

I think she was just following the criteria. :cool: That's a good woman...

I have some pretty badass facial hair. I'm at work right now, so I don't have any photos. I'll post one later.

EDIT: Ozz, who cares about facial hair, what the fuck's up with your real hair?
 
My girlfriend pretty much demanded I grow a beard.

This was at least a year ago (20 or 21):
