The Beard Myth!

[amon666]

so last 3 days I've been shaving everyday, trying to define the myth and waiting for the results to see if its correct or after all its just a myth!

The myth is, if you shaved everyday your beard will be full, thick, and most importantly it will grow fast

i met a dude who had beard till his chest (beg of it) and he said it took him 9 months only, how did he do that? by shaving everyday

and i've read after 3 years the beard hair reaches its max.
so probably that's why people trim it (eg. Johan)

apperenlty theres ways to shave as well, i've heard you have to shave the opposite side of its growth direction!

so anyone did it, and worked??


(im thinking to shave everyday till end of august)

You may not have a face by the end of August...

Seriously, try it if you will, but most guys I know... don't shave unless they have to!

I think it depends on how your hair grows also. Some guys I know can shave their beard and practically have a new one by the end of the day. Others shave theirs and will probably never see another beard ever again.

Shaving opposite to the hair growth... wouldn't that give you ingrown hairs?

Shaving everyday won't make a difference. It's all about the genes. You are either hairy or your not. Sucks but nothing we can do.

True, ex boyfriend had to shave twice a day when he worked 12 hour shifts because he was in front of the public and some managers found shaving once a day was not tidy enough.

Do you intend to use blades or a machine? If using a machine you can go against the grain. If using a blade... may irritate your skin.

If shaving made hair grow back thicker you would have women with lower halves like a wooly mammoth

really?

 

[haayema]

Can't help you with this one...
I don't have the beard gene I think, only shave 1 time a week, maybe two.

I saw a program about that myth actually.
it's BUSTED! (sorry, had to say it).

it's all in your genes, wether your beard will grow fast, be thick, make you a douchebag, and get you similiar chicks to what Tom Selleck's mustache does.

It's a myth

9 months to the chest?
Lies I guess.

 

[amon666]

many people are taking opposite sides, might as well try it

im missing under my lips part

after shaving it twice
white tiny hair kinda appeared :O

will keep you posted with updates

well not really chest

i meant more like this (beg of the chest)

Shave with the hair to cut down the length, and against it to get rid of the stubble. Personally, I recommend using the old school shaving soap over pretty much any of the shaving creams out there.

But it won't make your beard grow in faster/better. If that was true, I'd still have plenty of hair on top.

 

[amon666]

i'm not denying the genes role, however while you still have hair, it might work

some people shave their heads after they start losing hair, cause they're afraid they'd turn bald (with all respect to bates)!

my goatee was that length, probably a bit longer. i took it off before going to germany to just a standard goatee.

i recently took the whole thing off becuase i can't have massive amounts of facial hair whilst i'm working as a lawyer.

 

[amon666]

how long did it take you

 

[waif]

Lengthy facial hair generally sucks, but regardless to Amon666: it's a myth, in case you can't tell. If you're having trouble growing a beard, wait till your balls drop

 

[amon666]

i grow a full one! however i am missing the goatee lines, you know the ones beside the lips!

Oh, yeah, I've seen pics. You look hilarious. Try being me sometime, it works great.
