I can't do a beard, I end up looking like a terrorist hobo within a couple of weeks.
But I am impressed with your beards, keep it up gentlemen!

Does James Harden have a neckline? I can't tell.
Only on GAF. Personally, I don't see it. Every other day it's the dude from Modern Family...

Gents, it's been a little over a month since I last posted. I kind of feel embarrassed for posting this lame attempt at a beard after GraveRobberX and others have posted their awesome-nests, but still, I have to make do with what little I got. As before, please excuse the shitty webcam quality.
Bonus image with one of my cats photobombing.
As you can see, I haven't really made that much progress (here's the initial set of pictures), beard still looks wiry as hell and underneath the hairy mess there are still uncovered patches. I kind of like the way it looks right when I'm out of the shower and dry it a little bit, but a few hours after that I start looking like a hobo werewolf.
In any case, I haven't touched a single hair since I started and I plan to continue that way until August (don't know why, two months felt like a good place to start). After that I do plan on going to a barber to get a decent neckline and maybe try to do something about the wiry hair.
As usual, any suggestions regarding the wiry hair are more than welcome.

hey beard GAF, what do your ladies (or boyfriends) think about your beards?
yesterday I had a date (A good friend I already know) and kissed for the first time with my miserable goatee! not even a full beard!
I was told twice " you look very interesting but it's itchy, you scratch my face"
...lol, XD
I said "Oh, I am sorry".. but deep inside I was thinking "I'll be careful, but you either deal with it and get used to my awesome, manly goatee or you can bail out at any time" hehe

If she doesn't like the beard, you better let her go. She's not prepared for the awesome.
I've had good comments regarding the beard in the looks department as well as the texture of it (though I have had some minor complaints re: oral sex as well). I guess it depends on how rough it is, but usually the longer it grows, the less scratchy it is for others.

Hello Beard-GAF. Last winter, I decided for the hell of it I would let my hair run wild. Both on top of my head and my face. While I myself enjoyed the beard - despite its wiry nature and a strange orange tinge - most of my family and friends weren't too impressed. lol. Here is a picture:
For reference, below is how I usually keep it unless it's a special occasion, in which case I will shave it all off.
I need to work on my tan, I know. Anyway, there are some awesome looking beards in this thread. I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I see someone with a beard, I feel an immediate kinship with them. We're beard brothers.

How did you get such a stylish beard? No matter what I do I end up looking like a taliban member lol.
Thanks guys!
I love GraveRobberX's response because I already considered it for my original post. If anyone's going to surpass that beard in short order he'll be the one. His beard is fierce.
There's lots to know about growing a beard of significant length. Lots that I would have preferred to have known before I began this endeavor. The biggest hurdle was knowing how often to wash/condition my beard and getting past the scruffy look when it's neither long nor short, somewhere about 3-6 inches. It's easier to pull off a Gandalf look after that.

Jump in and put up a basic tutorial? Some things you've realized?
A red beard approaches!
What say you furry friends, this is the most I've ever grown it out. Yay or shave?
Are you the guy from Modern Family?

God I hate all of you with your awesome beards.
I can't grow a beard
I guess part of the reason would be this guy right here! I've done a lot of things trial-and-error throughout the sixteen months I've grown my beard, but the knowledge Drazgul has gleaned may be far more valuable. I'll chip in soon enough, though.Drazgul said:Why yes, I am a super-wizard (one that really needs to get a new phone).
In the meantime, could you entertain us with a few pieces of info about your beard, Drazgul? If I had to guess I'd say you have a three-year beard. What's your routine for taking care of such a thing? How often does hair fall out?
Everything about this mans face/head is epic.
EPIC BEARD IS EPIC.
After the Empson, I felt the need to fix the thread.
The grey/black ratio in his hair, his hair style, his beard.. Perfection.

Yeah for me it's beard density more than length. That too is purely genetic, but no less amazing.

Caring for and Wearing a Beard
A summary of beard-care advice.
If I had to sum it down to one thing, wash your beard. Seriously, wash your beard. Not too often, maybe only 2-3 times/week, but wash your beard. Condition, too. If you have dandruff, try a dandruff shampoo. If it persists and dries out your beard, moisturize the skin with conditioner or another moisturizer and resume regular shampoo application. One of these two options will cure your dandruff.
For those interested in the long-form specifics, I just use whatever non-dandruff shampoo that tickles my fancy, comb it through my beard, and rinse thoroughly. Then I apply conditioner and I make sure to comb it throughout the beard and especially on the skin under my beard. I'll wait 5-10 minutes (sometimes I just get out of the shower at this time) then return to gently rinse. I don't agitate my beard by drying it but I brush it straight down and after the shower so it stays in a vertical orientation. Then I spend the rest of the day not touching my beard and then my face because that just spreads oil from your beard to your pores which is dumb.
Oh, and comb your beard if it's long enough for it. Polite society will thank you (or at least they should).
This is my most successful and presentable routine for maintaining a beard that goes down to my chest. Any questions, feel free to ask.
