I hadn't had mine for about 3 years when I met my wife. After she saw a picture of me with it, she wanted me to grow it back. That was over 20 years ago, I still have it.KC5AV wrote:I let mine grow for a few months, and then my wife tells me she misses my face. That's her secret code for, "I hate that thing. Shave it off."

I have let my beard grow for the last three months. I can't call it salt and pepper because it's more salt than pepper.
I have been trying different beard oils, balms, washes, etc..
I can't say that I have found a major difference in beard oils, aside from the different fragrances. Beard balms, however, are world's apart. Cheaper balms, are heavy with wax, which makes my beard feel heavy, and don't wash out easily. They are harder to emulsify, in my hands, and after a few hours cause my beard to stiffen up, and feel coarse. I won't endorse any one brand over another, simply, because my experience may be different than other's, but if you are new to the beard experience, don't waste your money, trying to save money, on balms. As far as washes, again, soap is soap, I haven't been able to distinguish, one over another, but like with all of these, I have a limited amount of time, and a limited number of products, that I have tried.
I'm not sure why I decided to keep my face away from sharp metal objects for so long, but I do like the results so far, and Mrs. Jusne has either decided, it's not worth arguing about, or that anything that disguises, my appearance is not a bad thing.

MEN with beards carry more germs than dogs including deadly bacteria in their facial fuzz, a hair-raising study has found.
Researchers discovered that nearly half of all sampled beards hosted bugs dangerous to human health.

Regrettably for me, my beard is like Keanu Reeves' only worse because my hair is a lighter color. I tried once in my 20s and again after I retired. Both times I let it go several months, but both times the result was unsatisfactory so I've had to content myself with a small mustache.Skiprr wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2017 7:18 pm
. . .
The four genetic factors that differentiate most of us from that guy who can look fully bearded in just two weeks are: 1) He has black or very dark brown facial hair. 2) He has a dense follicle pattern; in other words, a lot of individual hairs per square inch. 3) The individual hair shafts are thick; age hurts us there, too, because hair thins as we age. 4) The coverage of hair on his face is pretty complete; no bare patches.
