I'm intrigued and have to start this thread

Winter Beard:

Summer Beard:

Right on. In the summer months I keep it trimmed pretty short. In winter I let er go wild. I did shave last November for that movember mustache thing and it really didn't feel right.

This year's model, started early...maybe I can get work @ Xmas?

When we were kids, one of my brothers had a wonderful way with words...he called eyebrows, eye beards...he called playing in puddles...bootin wettin. That's a RockRoot in my maw.

I got the blazer in '86....for my 20th H.S. reunion..I got that and a suit for weddings & funerals.

Good pictures.

Fishfly, I'm jealous. You get to smoke indoors.

Really enjoying this thread! Excellent examples of facial manliness, and get to see the mugs behind the avatars. It's good to see more of the faces of the folks I've been smoking with!

 

[aldecaker]

chasingembers- we can't be exclusionary around here. Any bearded ladies on the forum, step right up!

This was the length of my beard when I decided to stop trimming & go for terminal length.

Fishfly,

I like your winter beard the best.

Funny timing, life got in the way of shaving the last two weeks for me, and I just decided yesterday that since it has a head start I'm going to let my beard come in!

Fishfly, I'm jealous. You get to smoke indoors.

Took lots of compromises and some expensive air filtration equipment. But it sure makes Iowa winters more bearable.

I like your winter beard the best.

One of the compromises.

I haven't shaved in 40 years. The wife, kids and grandkids have never seen me without one. I may surprise them all one day but, that day is still a ways off.
As for posting a pic, ever since that little dust-up at the local Post Office a few years back, I tend to avoid cameras.

Mine used to be red. Now it's what's known as Florida blond.

Where's Jay Dagner when you need him?

I recently started pipe smoking and believe or not it happened because my mother-in-law said that a big guy with the beard should not smoke a cigarette, but a pipe would suit me much better))) and so I tried.... And here I am

That's hilarious!

@ Peck Somehow this doesn't surprise me.

Like the concept, and you guys look great. For some reason, facial hair makes me look gloomy (or maybe more gloomy) so I shave. But I may try it again some time and share the gloom.
