I trim a tiny bit around the sides of my neck to stop it growing round the back. Apart from that it's untrimmed for me, the sides of mine are about 6 months shorter than the front as I started off with just a goatee.
Get your beards out for the girls

That kinda exagerated shaping is interesting, I guess you work with your natural growth to develop a unique and personal style 
I thought it might be a comfort thing where eg a collar rubs. I saw the art of manliness link from rev that the best way to start is commit to leaving all cutting for 6 weeks... I don't know how I'm going to hide Boss Hubs razor that long

My bearded face hasn't been touched by a razor in 40 years, but every couple of years I do get tired of the beard getting in the way of things and chop the whiskers back to a fighting cut with a pair of shears. Herself and the bairns cry holy terror when I do, but it's not often, and I leave plenty enough. Can't abide stubble myself,,,
I can relate to that Haggis, i was in PTS for 3 days after my last trim getting out of hand, every time i passed a mirror i had flashbacks like Rambo in First Blood when they try to shave him in the cell just before he kicks off, it is just starting to get back some character
That's nothing Mr Bod, when I took mine off last and happened to be wearing my winter Tilley hat at a rakish angle one former friend cruelly said I looked like Quentin Crisp! Still it's taught me not to shave off the beard. Why adjust perfection after all.
Great pic of Brian Blessed, he's a true ambassador for beard wearers and is such a lovely bloke; though mad as a box of frogs.

quality stuff for some reason i had in my head the presenter of the channel 5 top gear show and was thinking hey it could be worse
I've a son-in-law who weighs in at nearly 400 pounds, shaves his head, and has a beard to shame even Rubeus Hagrid. Some years ago he thought he would join the local fire department. The fire department demanded he shave his face; so his smoke mask could seal properly. There was an immediate demand from everyone that he instantly, and for the love of God and relevant Saints, regrow his beard. Even the fire department insisted that he forego all future use of a razor. There are some faces that are best kept covered.
Have you seen the price of a winter Tilley? No it's a combination of no more rakish angles and a beard must be worn at all times.

Wow, no.2 all the wayyyy! Were you a lot younger then, beloved nephew? Reason I ask is my bestie shaved his off because he reckoned it made him look older. I absolutely think they make a mature man look younger. Ahhh it was sooooo beautiful too, I mourn its passing Especially as it passed before I got chance of a prolonged exploration in person, its a damnedable tease to show a gal pictures and not let her have the full, loving stroking session too!
Haggis, you do make us giggle. I think you are the godfather of the beard on here Your poor son in law must have been mortified to cut it off then have to regrow.... or possibly he was just deeply relieved?!

We were all deeply relieved that he regrew his whiskers,,, even the dogs have finally quieted,,,
Humm OK this is me back in the end of last november, good news is since this was taken I lost my beard (currently regrowing, it's a sorta long story why I lost it, intresting but long) and since then I lost the weight that 2 years of nights and 5 years of a bad diet gave me I have about 2 more stone to go before I look "normal" but when your 6ft 6in normal kinda becomes relative.

Yuppp, ASM, theres a few bods one here shared success stories of fighting back against karmas worst! I didn't realise beards would be as badly affected but its a no-brainer really.... so easy for us lasses to not consider the trials of wholesome bearyness
