Yarr! If one insists on facial hair a well groomed moustache is a must. Great photo Undolpho. I'll play too, a post Movember pugilistic pose just before a heathen got a damn good thrashing for good measure;
Mines a Movember left over as well glad to see another handlebar on the go - I'm enjoying mine too much to shave it off! I've even invested in Moustache wax!!
I know where Carlisle is you spanner, I was asking where in Carlisle you were from.
Harraby, Currock, Raffels, St Annes, Stanwix yada yada.
Thankfully (as I don't enjoy shaving a lot) best I could grow would be a moustache and or a 'goatie' but saying that, at 57 I've still got a good head of hair with very little greying (is there any correlation between going bald and beard growth?). The wife detests beards, hates it if I miss a day shaving so for me, even if I could, growing a beard would be out of the question. My step father could grow a beard in days, he'd close shave in the morning and by evening the stubble was there sprouting through. After he retired he grew a beard but...always shaved a clean line under his chin so no one could accuse him of being too lazy to shave.
So, what types of beards are there
Lazy buggers who shave every few days (seems to be de rigour in the chaps on The Apprentice)
Full grown out of control
Full grown nicely trimmed
Just inappropriate on some people
Bushcraft (define please)
Any 'Tactical' beard growers out there, do you have to dye it black?
Feel free to add to the list of beard types.

I keep my full set tightly trimmed when working (about 12mm).
When messing about I grow it more full - but trim and shape the beard and shave the edges when going out with BB or every couple of weeks regardless.

I let mine grow if I'm mainly doing Vikings or Pirates but trim it back to "Hadrianic" proportions when I'm doing Romans.
Although I draw the line at the hairstyle...
I do Romans often enough to keep it under control I guess.
I used to be able to plait it but that was a good while ago.

"I do Romans often enough to keep it under control I guess" Not a pleasant visualisation really.
