Well, not in front of the nubiles, obviously.

Imma get me a six-pack of Stella and sit on the curb and wait. A while.

Was Coronager behind that disgusting alt? Makes sense, fucking gross.

A month later after my first trim. Left the pushbroom alone, keeping it "ruley" with Fisticuffs 'stache wax.

I really like Amish beard oil but I don't think it actually does anything for me. Smells great. I've experimented with some old-fashioned Brylcreem to tame mutton-chop fly-aways. The goatee brushes out fine and behaves itself with a boar's bristle brush. Much softer after today's trim. Should have gotten a before picture. The after looks like last month. For some reason the distinctive gray pattern throughout the Van Dyke only partially shows in pictures.

Yes, it's kind of a shame to cover my face, but the ugly people won; we are all wearing masks anyway. That's kind of why I stopped bothering to shave.

I gotta admit: it is making me rethink my handsome privilege.

Dude... your do looks great. Just leave it natural.

I'm a goatee man...have been before hair was in and back again a few times.

 

[Conager]

I'm not sure if I got a picture of before I use my new trimmer on the beard but I've still more less left the mustache alone. I was going for the full Wilford Brimley.

A friend's neighbor commented as we passed that he thought Phil had Ssm Elliot with him. I laughed my ass off at that wildly funny coincidence. I had to show Phil the avatar I am currently using and e plain that the avatar long predates my recent foray into facial hair and was actually meant as a deflection since I am (normally) completely bald.

Argies set fire to the pampas each year and it grows back in better shape than the previous year. Maybe set fire to your head?

 

[Conager]

It's a thought.

Bit sexist this thread. What about all the bearded ladies that might want to weigh in on the conversation?

Sorry!

What did you want to add?

 

[Conager]

Good talk, dude.

I'm not sure if Brylcreem is considered a pomade. I have been using just a dab on my hair then smoothing it down through my mutton chop area to tame flyaways. My goatee behaves itself after running a boar's bristle brush through it. The stache has to be waxed down to keep the bushy part from tickling my nose.

 

[Conager]

I looked at a chart of beard styles recently but I don't remember the names of various things. I've been growing something out that I vaguely think might be called the Van Buren. Think bushy mutton-chops portion of the beard. I don't want that so I went nice and close on my jaws leaving the goatee portion alone.

It probably needs to be better transitioned to the goatee portion but I'm trying to leave the center alone because I wanted to grow although it doesn't seem to be growing nearly as fast as the rest of the beard. It grows quite thick, but it's not growing long where the jaw line grows very long but average, rather than thick.

 

[Conager]

Mine doesn't. There's a natural break from the top of my peck to halfway up my neck. I get a few random must raise right in that nook between the collar bones. I shaved my neck and my nape this morning before bed.

I used to have a beard in my twenties, I kinda figured it went with the long hair, mirror shades and motorbike. I then went over 20 years without before deciding to try it again and was annoyed that it grew grey with whitestreaks , but as the ladies seemed to like it I've kept it ever since. I now trim it as a goatee and a bit shorter than your picture, it feels soft to me and my wife likes it. My beard is now nearly all white and I've grown used to the colour, can't see me doing away with it now.

I've tried various oils and suchlike but to be honest I don't think any of them make any difference, except for some that smell nicer than others.

Fall, spring and winter in Iowa can be extremely harsh. In my location, we work outside almost 100% of the time, all hours, day or night. A beard is a must. I've heard a lot of people say that it doesn't make a difference. In my experience, it most certainly does.

As far as beard care? I keep it much longer in 3 of the 4 seasons and mostly trimmed of sorts. I'm lucky, I grow a naturally good beard. Not much care needed. During the dead of winter, it's full of ice and frozen snot. Maybe that helps keep it soft and supple? Other than that? The same shampoos and conditioners I use in my hair. Normally, whatever is in the shower already.

I keep it when it's cold and normally trim it to stubble when it's hot. I don't think an actual razor has touched my face in 10 years.
