I've got one at the moment which I hate. It looks as though I've got some terrible form of facial mange. However, I have to keep it on until my obligations as Fagin in a production of 'Oliver!' are over; when the final curtain comes down, I'm off to the basin to hack the dreadful thing off. I really, really do NOT like wearing facial hair!
 
I go in cycles. tends to be that I only shave when I can be bothered, or when I need to. which means I can spend weeks between times developing a beard (although to be fair, it tends to be a halfway house between stubble and a proper beard).

tried properly trimmed facial hair a few times. never really found a style that suited me.
 
incidently, someone once told me (when I shaved off one years beard) that the expression "bare faced lier" came from how much younger one looks defuzzed compared to hirsuited up.
 
Suppose the advantage of a beard is that if you're a bit lacking in the chin department (or even oversubscribed in the number of chins) you can sculpt your face shape with fur.:dunno:
Some might find that aspect handy but personally I'm not going for it.
No problems growing the hair, just don't want the look.
 
gotee will be a year old in december, it's a hand width from bottom of chin already, swimbo threatening to put beads in to match her outfit for the day lol
 
Why do you need to know? Are you looking for group permission or acceptance?

I'm compiling a list of daft questions and this one is in no problem. It will go in my book of 'Daft Internet Questions' ;)

Did you have a bad experience with a beard as a child? A beard is a fine piece of bushcraft kit and, if this poll is representative of BCUK users, they are sported by the majority of readers.
