Anyone else decide to go the entire month without shaving? I usually only keep a groomed goatee, but took the leap!
No Shave November, did you?

I've only trimmed for 44 years. I did shave it off one night about 40 years ago and Dee told me to grow it back .....or else

I did in the inside. I did try and get permission to go on this deployment with civvies and a beard but was told no by the very top. Dang it.

Well Seamus, apart from you looking so much older than me....
,we could almost be twins....:wink:
I'm going home tomorrow so I scraped the crud off the cheeks to look my normal handsome self. :biggrin:
I had no idea that Movember was done in USA !! Cool !! Do you guys collect money for charity too??
Both my sons have grown 'tashes and chin bum fluff for Movember, but they can't beat the old goat for a bit of grey!!:biggrin:
....a rare pic of the rat!!!:biggrin:

I wish I would have taken a picture. I just had to use up my last 16 days of vac at work, the last two weeks of Oct. and got away with not shaving up until the last day. Work doesn't allow any facial hair other than a mustache so I had to shave. At least it made the wife happy.

Just about the same thing, grew a beard when I turned 18, it has been off for one day in that time and my said grow it back. It is a lot different color now (grey/white) funny how that happens....

In 62 years, I've never grown a beard, but did have somewhat of a mustache for about 10 years when the military finally allowed them. I did seriously tried this November to try to grow one, and after 5 days, had a pretty growth going and it was DRIVING ME NUTS....and my wife was not pleased at all. The 6th day when I got up, it immediately came off and boy was I glad.
Hey I tried, but I'm just not destined for a beard in this lifetime.

I keep a pretty full beard but meant to set up a fund raising effort this year and do something different but slipped my mind. I'm 34, my beard actually grew in thicker after I turned 30 and had kids
I'll try to get a pic tomorrow. But me and a few friends raised $1100.00 for Movember!
Definately keep it Roy ---- it makes you look older than I do.Taken yesterdayNo pic = never happened.....

Havent shaved in a while. Like not having to. Now the noodle is a different story. Every morning. Cost too much to shave both
I found wearing a beard took more care than regular shaving unless you didn't mind looking like a Mountain Man with a dull hunting knife.
Beards always make me smile though....I think about Ed Shinnerling who lived in my home town when I was a kid. The official start of Spring was when Shinner shaved his beard which he grew every winter.

Been off and on since I gave Uncle Sam my two weeks. Was in Korea for a while so everything above the neck was the longest it's been in 12 years.

Between military and working in a nuclear power plant I couldn't go the full beard route until I retired in O2. Found the beard didn't let the respirator seal well enough so cut back to goatee and stash after a few years. It's only been off twice when I goofed while trimming and immediately got the word from the better half to grow it back.
