Any longbeards here? I'm growing mine back out. It's been about 5 years. Miss it. It's funny how many people would actually compliment me on it.
I shaved my down recently........ It was the dumbest thing i ever did....... its a measely 2 inches long now.
I have to keep mine between 2-3" so I look presentable at work. But once I retire (in 30 years) it's on!! ZZ Top beard here I come!!
My hair is white. When I had a full beard, I got a lot of Santa comments. I'm also very round. The skin doctor told me to shave because he was going to have to do surgery to another precancerous spot. I compromised and made it a goatee. Wife and kids like the goatee much better. I am very light skinned. Had a lot of sunburns when I was younger. This skin doctor took several "spots" off my face and arms and continues to do so every time I visit him. I really liked my full beard except for having to comb it out after eating. It seemed to be a magnet for falling food.
Ok kids want me to grow it again, my. Beautiful wife says no, but dear the girls love it. Day 1. It takes me 6 months to grow. Daddy daughter dance is in February. Last few years I had the longest beard there. I love my girls. They get what they want. Only if they get all a's on the report card. I'm a sucker.
