No pictures but I always claimed not to have grown a beard, I just stopped shaving :) Before the eldest of the kids came along (and for a very short time afterwards) I could have been mistaken for the younger brother of Terry Waite! Then I discovered how much pain a nearly newborn child can inflict by grabbing a (small) handful of under chin beard and a number two it was and still is!

13 weeks, 13 frigging weeks I went once trying to grow, well, something, anything! I looked like shaggy from scooby doo, bit bristly round the chin :?

Had a moustache for several years. Shaved it off about ten years ago.
Children did not notice until a week later and that was only when a visitor commented
Which was very funny.
Never grown it back.

So over the first few weeks I struggled, but over the last 3 weeks I have given up shaving. Got the best part of a full beard now, mostly grey but unshaped, the Mrs is going to look online to see what she thinks will look good and then help me out. ;) She likes the feel so alls good there :D

Well, ended up with a full beard, trimmed by the barbor and oddly it looked quite smart. Last night getting my work stuff ready for my return to work I decided it wasn't right to go to work with a full beard so I got the small trimmers out and started to remove it. Little by little trying "shapes" as I went, anyway, ended up with a smart goatee :roll: I grew one 20 odd years ago and I hated it, but I think because its mainly grey it don't look that bad. :o

use a straight razor every week to ten days, need that long for the wounds to heal, cheap way of shaving though, and you realise why all the oldies had goatie beards, shaving around the mouth and below the nose is an art I`m still trying to perfect/stop bleeding
