Default Grow a beard for a year

Well as the title says, grow a beard for a year

This is what I will be doing as a way to protest against my missus stealing my razors, starting clean shaven tonight I will grow a beard for a minimum of one year.

One of my mates has been doing that, one year in March, he has this dirty mangy neck beard going on and he is only 23. It goes past the neck on his t-shirt.

He has never trimmed it at all.

I'm proud of his efforts.

I like it. This time next year donate what you save on shaving cream and razors to one of the various 'men's health' organisations. And be careful around BBQ's.

Default Re: Grow a beard for a year

I would love to do this.
Given that when I was younger it was near impossible for me to have any facial hair.
The trouble is now that being in the emergency services I have to be clean shaven for wearing of BA.
After nearly 21 years, I'm sick of shaving...

Good luck, and have fun!

Ed

Looksy at this

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/hea...-1227171082091

LOLOL

I personally cant stand the itching, or discomfort even after like 4 days of not shaving.
With that in mind, no chance of me having a beard.

3 day growth enough for me

I started mine in 69 too, for years it was long, soft and brown, now it's short and grey, but it hides all the wrinkles underneath.

I'm only 10 days in growing a beard and the itching and heat are driving me nuts.

I have to shave for work, and am sick of it, so seeing if I can go the full two weeks and see what it looks like and if I can put up with it.

For some reason my facial hair doesn't grow as quickly as my head does and it doesn't grow in some spots so I can get away with a weekly shave compared to needing to go to the hairdressers once every 6 or so weeks on average.

Depending on which part she's actually shaving with your razors, I wouldn't be in a rush to complain.

So, what does SHE have in the bathroom that YOU can utilise???

I think its gone complete opposite of the whole metro sexual thing that was a big thing a few years ago. Trying to prove masculinity. Its just a fashion that will die out and be replaced with something else.

But when you see it with a hair bun or a ponytail tied high on the scalp that's the masculinity aspect straight out the window. Don't mind the full beard but not the faggy hair.

im 8 days into this challenge. Having a side bet with my bro in law about doing a dirty man at the same time.
for those who dont know... dirty man = no hair cut and no shave.

i went 3 months last year with no shaving and i was quite impressed with my beard. Only problem is i scissor around my mouth for my mo...cant do that this time...
taking a photo every day in the same spot so should have a video by the end of the year!
