Beards

[Trickle]

So I have had a goatee for around two years, and have enjoyed it (mainly not having to shave the tougher parts of my face at 5am).

I decided recently to try and grow a proper beard for the winter to see how I got on. I have been reading with interest this article and was impressed by this guys epic beard (http://www.realmenrealstyle.com/how-grow-beard/). I was surprised to read about the intricacies of growth, styles, do & don'ts, pitfalls, dangers and the varied appliances and accessories available for the enthusiast (is this starting to sound familiar??)

Anyway after 4 weeks this is my attempt. I realise now that I have shaved too far up the neckline, but this is a common newbie mistake apparently!!

So any beard stories or tips out there?

Cheers
Simon

That would be my two year growth lol. I have a patchy growth all the time to stop me looking 12 but it's crap. If I could buy a big shaggy beard I would.

No advice though sorry.

There's another beard thread around somewhere, perhaps it's worth reading through that? A lot of the lads use products such as oil or balm to groom theirs. In terms of your neckline, it's all preference. Mine,for instance, is shaved to the jawline.

Best advice is to talk to Reason.... He's like a beard super hero!
