My Dad's cousin was married to a woman who felt the same way. She was a dark haired beauty! And had dark leg and underarm hair too!! She always said " God put it there, I'm not shaving it"!šŸ˜® They had seven kids so I guess it was fine with Dad's cousin!! She had some facial hair too so I am staying on topic!!

So how about it guys (Maybe a gal or two? 0_0) how do you cultivate your face-turf? Do you trim it nice and proper or just go natural?

One of my CNAs (šŸ„° šŸ„° ) at the rehab facility couldn't keep her fingers out of it, she braided it when I first got there , lol.

I kinda have a strange feeling I want to crawl up in your lap and tell you secrets if you promise to bring me stuff
šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m just not rightšŸ˜€šŸ˜€šŸ˜€
 
I have had a mustache for over 50 years, but the beard comes and goes. I will grow one occasionally, but eventually it gets itchy, and I shave it off. I have had a goatee on and off for the past 10 years, but my wife says I look better without it. Another side benefit to retirement. I shave once or twice a week.

I'm like Morgan 101. I'll grow a beard or goatee once a month, then shave it off, just to watch people look at me trying to figure out what is different with me. I love goatees, but it seems whenever I have juicy, buttery corn on the cob, it drips down and stinks to high heaven.
 
My beard gets really uneven if it gets much over the length of a #4 trim. I don't have a thick beard anyway, but since it started going gray the gray patches seem to grow faster than what is still dark. It gets pretty rough looking within a week. That's OK, it's long enough for me at that length...
 
While running my own heating business, I would occasionally get some wife apologizing for their home being less than immaculate. My response was always, "Don't let the beard fool you.....I ain't your mother."

Let it grow. A few Christmas' ago my daughter bought my son little Christmas ornaments to put in his. Little Christmas balls with alligator clips. Nice touch. It was about the same length as yours. Maybe a little longer.

What's wrong wit dat lol.

Arianna, one of my CNAs at rehab braided mine after a shower. I had no problem with that šŸ„°
šŸ„°
 
When my kids were little I always had a beard. Then one day I shaved before I came home from work, I was gone for a couple months, and when the kids saw me they started crying. They couldn't figure out who this stranger was slobbering all over their mother, now my ex wife.
Since I retired I wear a goatee or keep it all shaved with a 1/4" guard.

I think that would be interesting to see.
 
Had a mustache for 30 years & a beard for about five.
I got old & every hair turn red or brown or white, it was a mess.
If it every goes pure white I may grow it again, but not now.
I shave every day if I go out, sometimes every other day if I stay in.
 
My sister and my father's second wife put my beard up in about ten braids. I never did get a copy of that picture.
