That's the main reason i've never managed one since i was 20. Stubborn determination mainly. Just keep in mind how good it will feel when it's long enough for the wind to catch it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert though... I never made it through the itchy stage.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be proper moisturiser so i'm told but was also told just to wash with water when itchy and that seemed to work quite well. Its kind getting past that stage now with just occasional itch. Been quite an interesting experience but not sure i'll keep it much longer. Doesn't suit the 70's Glam Rock covers band i'm in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always go for the Roy Wood look.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard oil is a rip off - my wife bought me some and I only used it once. Coconut oil works well, and is much cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I started growing a fledgling beard during lockdown but it became pretty obvious that my mum’s auburn hair gene had manifested itself as a ginger and grey beard. It was quite a mismatch with my almost black head hair, plus I couldn’t stop licking the moustache the whole time, so off it came. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Must be about 15 years since I was clean shaven, and that was only for a few weeks. I'd feel lost without a hairy face! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel lost without a hairy face! Do you remember that wet feeling even though your face was dry? It must be because the air is getting to the skin where it could not before. I kept having to double check. Like yourself, it didn't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I went back to a beard about five years ago 🙂 Blessed relief, I hate shaving. Last week I trimmed it into a 'Hulk Hogan' which was a disaster so the next day I shaved it off and started from scratch. Luckily I only take a week to grow a beard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure blonde hair, dark eyebrows and ginger beard too. That's one of the reasons i shaved again. I'd forgotten all about that.
