Where the path takes me
Most definitely yes. Grew it a bit longer this summer (to match the earrings and go pirating on the high seas arr har). The missus said she didn't like it longer but I just told the wench to fetch me grog and have done with it...arr har.

I'd like to spend a good time growing it out but after a few weeks of voracious growth it stops at the alternative teenager look and refuses to become more beardy.

The other problem is during term time I have to shave twice a week for Officer Training Corps and also to instruct little darlings (Army Cadets).

Hopefully one day I can grow an Arctic explorer/Special Forces beard!

Yep! F-all to do with bushcraft as i only have a long "goatee" to quote the GQ/fashion mags etc - had it 25 years, Shaved it off only once and the missus wanted a divorce! Make of that what you will! I occassionally grow a full one in the cold season but generally have it at around 3- 4 inches long. Suits me an dont need much caring for. I shudda been a pirate or a bloke wiv no razor blades :rolleyes:

I'd love to grow a full set,but unfortunately,I spent quite a bit of time crawling about in the kind of places where you find some really nasty stuff (asbestos, century old coal dust,etc) so I have to keep mine closely trimmed to avoid breaking the seal of a respirator. According to a mate of mine who's an ex Marine, my beard is the same style as the Norwegian Army allow, for much the same reason.

PS:

The thread really got me inspired again...

The beard is back: 30 days in, and it's slowly looking like a bit more than a 5 o'clock shadow...
