Title: Shaves.... How far have you went before getting a new one?
Post by: tdaver on March 24, 2020, 02:32:37 PM: I’ve never tried to grow a beard before, but now seems like the perfect time to try. I’m six days in and it looks horrible. How long should I give it to fill in? When do I just call it quits and start shaving again?

Post by: Spracne on March 24, 2020, 02:34:39 PM: I usually keep a neatly trimmed beard, but I've let it grow out for about 4 weeks. Looks like crap. My facial hair seems to grow in every-which-way direction.

Post by: tdaver on March 24, 2020, 02:39:48 PM: I’ve been shaving head and face for years so I’m not used to having anything growing up there. Turns out I have some gray in the beard so that’s another check in the shave it off column.

A little salt 'n pepper is a good thing, daver.

Your neck beard. That's the most annoying part of shaving, and I say this as a bearded man.

Post by: steve dave on March 24, 2020, 07:48:40 PM: Oh crap. Straight shave every morning along with the upper cheeks where I get stragglers.

Post by: Spracne on March 24, 2020, 07:50:09 PM: Speaking of stragglers, anyone else get that one rogue eyebrow follicle that grows like an inch long, if not abated?

Post by: KITNfury on March 24, 2020, 07:53:41 PM: I figure I'll not shave through the lock down.

It looks like crap and will always look like crap, but I wanna know exactly how bad. My cheek hair is THIN.

Post by: Trim on March 24, 2020, 08:06:58 PM: Trying, but I keep trimming it with the #10 on the trimmer when it's just too mumped up looking. I use the 0.5 on the neck but consistently end up going too high with that.

Post by: Trim on March 24, 2020, 08:08:02 PM: Lost my card while in costco yesterday and had to get a new one and it looks like a real beard in the picture taken with their shitty b/w camera.

Seems to get more and more of those every passing year. I pluck those mothers!

Post by: IPA4Me on March 25, 2020, 05:43:47 AM: Quickly approaching 50 and the ear/nose/eyebrow rogue growth is much to bear.

Post by: Brock Landers on March 25, 2020, 09:12:49 AM: I shaved my beard off last night. What a rush. I'm going to let it grow back though. Much like ranchers burn their pastures, I'm confident this move will ensure that my beard will grow back healthier and more glorious than it was before.

Me either. That's exactly why I'm doing it. I'll look like total crap. Can't wait.

Yes. I always try to cut them before my wife sees because if she sees one she will pluck it which is ouch city usa.
