Default Do you have a beard?

Beards are less common here in Texas because it's so damn hot but I've noticed a large portion of home brewers I meet have full beards.

So ..........

Do you currently have a beard?

Not talking about stuble, talking full ZZ Topish beard.

When I grow a beard it looks like a certain other type of bodily hair which is really curly... SWMBO has, in no uncertain terms, banned all forms of facial hair except sideburns. I try every few years to see if the situation has improved, but I suck at growing cool stuff on my face.

I ain't saying its s GOOD one... but shaving eats. And then I would have to get up earlier to shave in the morning. Skrew that.

Not ZZ topish. More wolfmanish.

I occasionally have to shave to wear a respirator on the job. Those are sad, sad days.

Not a full beard, the sides never would come in. Just a goat(and not a goatse) It's starting to go gray but what can you do.

I've had one on and off for a while. Last one was last winter. Thinking about growing it again just to screw w/SWMBO. I keep it trimmed up tho. Hell, it's mostly grey these days anyway...

The goat (and exactly 2nd Street, NOT Goatse)and mustache never leave. (The mustache especially)

Yeah I just grew my beard in, I usually grow one every October. When I lived in upstate NY, it was nice because it really helped protect my face from the wind chill. Now I'm just lazy and don't like shaving.

I'm almost 48 and I've never had a beard. I've been in the military since I was 18 so I've never had the chance. I'm going to grow one when I retire though.

I've had a beard for over 30 years. Drove the old farts crazy while I was in the Navy (Thank you Ad. Zumwalt!). Not ZZ Top, think Amish. My father's greats came from the same part of Europe & the growth pattern is genetic!
