I had grown in out for 7 months without a trim. I *do* miss it, but I don't really have any regrets about shaving it off. I think I like the growing process a bit more than actually having a longer beard. That being said, I can now tell you that I'll NEVER scrape my face with a razor again. I suddenly remember why I don't like to shave. Yesterday my face was a buring scratchy MESS. Current plans are to grow a short beard for the summer and then let it start growing out again the 1st day of fall. Beard ON guys! I have recently shaved off my winter beard at the beginning of may.

Trimmed way too much off when attempting to style the beard. I sure hated to shave it, but there was no recovery from the bad trimming. I did send in two pictures, one with the beard and one with the goatee. I'll probably start growing the beard back in late August or Sept. Well back to the goatee.

While I've always nubbed the hair during the Texas heat, I've almost always kept the beard. Why, you ask? Quite simply because I despise shaving! Even after my brother gave me my military fade (see current pictures) and trimmed the old forest beard into a massive goatee do I continue to keep up the appearance? Of course not! The beard's coming back and quickly. I’ve often been asked whether or not I’ll shave off the beard during the summer, because it is assumed more hair equal more heat.

That is what I did last summer. In leaving the goatee I did not go through all of the resentment of shaving the beard off. I shave the beard in April (kept the goatee) and grew the beard back in August. This year I plan on keeping the beard, but will keep it trimmed close. Every time I think of shaving it off, I think of having to shave every day. No Thanks. I can go up to three days without having to shave the neck and high cheek area and still look presentable for work. Ron,

I feel naked and seld concience without it. I will never shave it off again. It's amazing how a beard will shape a man's personality. I don't feel like myself. It's very depressing. Hi John,

There were a few years that I did not grow one due to the change in the color of facial hair from black to gray. Now that the color has evened out more I am enjoying the beard again. Do I plan on shaving it off this summer? Not this morning but sometimes I do want to shave it off! In the past however every time I did save it off it seemed as if I went through some type personal change. Then later wished I had not shaved. Has anyone else experianced a personal change from with in, when they shaved thier beard? I am 51 years old and have had a bead on and off most of my adult life.
