Not everyone's beard comes in full and it is a common misnomer that beards are grown only to avoid shaving. Men with beards will usually shave every day or every third day to keep the edges trimmed or to keep a certain design. Many of the designs are controlled by the thickness of the beard and where it grows. That makes having a beard fun, and the reason that some wear full beards, side burns, goatees or mustaches.

When I was living in Corporate America, I shaved and trimmed my beard every morning. Now I'm not so disciplined.

I don't know what women do with their beards. :-\

They join the circus and make money showing off their beards.

I'm back from Colorado, so it's time. I quit shaving on the 15th of August each year and cut it off after my Colorado trip.

Here's looking at myself in the mirror.

It gets to be a major, life changing decision, to cut off a beard. I have to do it now and again just to see who I am, but I have trouble cutting it all off in one fell swoop, like that. Maybe if I had a handsome face like that it would be different, but I have to close my eyes and peak out of the corner of a squint, or I would run.

I can't help but play a little too. I end up with side burns, then a goatee, then just a mustache, then just half of a mustache..... the last time, I got rid of my hair too. It was funny. I had a mohawk for a few minutes and even a 'Mr. T'.

I've got to get me one of those electric razors. Maybe it would keep me from being all red faced for 3 days.

That first picture is a handsome one, Magicman. You look just like someone who would be roaming the outback of Colorado, Hat and all. That's a might fine looking hat too, by the way.

I like the hat, too. As for his looks with or without a beard, I'll leave that to the ladies to comment on.

HAT. I'm really glad to hear those coments about the hat. I bought that old hat in '73. It has now made 30 trips to Colorado and Wyoming. It's on it's third sweat band, and who knows how many hatbands. What's on it now is a combination of many. Grouse and turkey feathers, Copperhead skin, horse hair, and whatever else. The back is curled up so that I can lean against a tree and keep it on. That's a horse's butt pin in front....

I've now bagged it up until next year..... :D

For a 1/2 inch incision to do the angiplasty last week the nurse clear cut about a acre with her razor, both sides top and bottom.

Now a few days later we have regrowth

You want to talk about itching? I was the checkout line at the local grocery store last night when it started................... People all around me, nothing I could do about it. :-\

This is not going to be much fun.............

If you are growing a beard and it itches you can scratch it in church nobody gives it a second thought....... This here's a whole nother issue.......
