That time of year again! I have not shaved since last November! Lets see your beards!

This was last week, specifically Halloween. The only night I can walk the dog as myself and not get the law called on me!

I'm in. I grow a beard in late fall and shave it off about the first lawn cutting in spring.

I think I actually stopped shaving about a week ago.

Romping around the city lake and back pond last week ...

Did it several yeas ago. Quickly found out I was in a sea of snowflakes.

My Viking heritage mixed with the Indian (feathered, not dotted) seems to make the refined and cultured wet their panties.

It's funny how all the "alpha males" start getting real uncomfortable and making snide remarks.

Maybe, I'll "misplace" the clippers...

I have a mustache and beard all year long. I keep them trimmed fairly short most of the year, but let them grow beginning in early October so that I look like Santa Claus for Christmas. I sing with a little chorus that goes around the offices of my former employer (I'm retired) and they like me to look like Santa.

(The ladies are nurses at a treatment center I visit each Friday--they wanted a picture with "Santa".)

Not a problem. This is several years old but neither of us has changed very much.

I don't get to grow my facial hair too often. All of my adult life, I have been in uniform and subject to grooming standards (Army '84-'91 and Police Department '91 to present). Last year, officers in my department convinced me to allow relaxation of the grooming standards so they could participate in No Shave November. We have two former officers who are prostate cancer survivors, so we allowed officers to participate if they made a donation to the Movember Organization.

Here is a picture from last year with about 3 weeks of growth. I'm less than a week in this year, so I don't have much to show yet.

Always have facial hair but I'll stop trimming for the month.

I have a short beard year round, but I’m giving it a shot this year. I have about an extra week and a half’s worth of growth at this point, so we’ll see how it goes.

I'm in - shaved on 11/1 for work but haven't since then, although only a few day in there's not much to show yet. In a week or two it'll be much better. I'll keep it until the spring.

I went elk hunting Oct 12 for a week so I stopped shaving Sept 26. Not sure how long I'll grow it this year.

In as well. Have a goatee year round but start the beard in late October/early November. Well-timed for a little extra insulation/camo for hunting season(s).

Y'all would be so unimpressed if I didn't shave for a month. I only shave once a week lol.

I can't grow a beard to save my life. I'd rock one for sure if I could grow one.

A beard isn't particularly flattering on me, but I'm an intermittent shaver these days and often only shave once or twice a week. On work days I often just clean up the edges to make it look like I'm growing one, but I'm really just too lazy to fully shave, and I like to shave my head when I shave my face. The goatee says year-round.

Sigmonkey, it’s not the beard that scares them..... it’s the crazy eyes!

I wear a little beard and mustache all the time, but don't care for a full beard on my fat face.

I've hd a mustache since the early 1970's, right after HS. But despite several tries a beard is just too itchy and feels weird.

LOL.

It's a strong trait.

Started a full beard last year after Thanksgiving. Kept it until spring. Not so into it this year.

Guess it counts if I have had a beard continuously for the past 50 years, though length has varied several times! Color settled down to match a perfect grayman theme! Though 6'-5" (that settling down also ) and 260#, have to find big rocks to hide behind, hence the Black Hills!
