Tried on a few occasions and partly down to lethargy, especially this time of year.Haven't had a beard for some years but thought I'd grow one and see how it looks ? Bit of a shock at first seeing all the grey hair ! But thought sod it I'll keep it short and neat, and like it now. Had the Father Christmas jokes off customers, but mainly positive comments. Only downside is the itching, forgot that happens. Other than that I'll keep it I reckon until I get fed up with it. Not the ZZTOP look though !
Grew a beard as part of my post divorce life crisis. Love it now. Too long and it gets annoying and it needs trimming twice as much as my hair which is annoying during lockdown. Get some oil in it and a proper beard brush.
No itching once it’s settled in.
Before I became old and decrepit, I loved angling. That one was taken many years ago (1993/4?) when I was fishing one day at Somers Rd Fisheries in Meriden.The top picture could have been taken this summer at the Slough, as that's the look most have in that area these days. In fact that would be considered trendy !

You're right Clint. It used to be Gearys, but I've no idea what they're all called now.Which one H? There's the game fishing lakes and the coarse fishing on the other side.
I'd imagine the coarse fishery because they don't allow riff raff on the game one!!

Here's another, taken on the same day! (I used to have to fight the women off me in those days!)

Probably a good thing, as what I can grow is bright ginger! Dark head hair with proper Irish facial hair

Masks are a saviour .Mine used to be proper ginger back when I first grew one in the mid eighties (the stuff on top was very blond).
Now it's mostly grey, and much longer, with gingery threads in it. Funnily enough the top stuff is still quite blond (with a dash of salt).
It's more Billy Gibbons than groomed. Hardly touched it with a blade since March. The ambition is to use it instead of a face mask. Nearly there...
Grew one the last two years after pressure to do it for Movember and liked it cos it kept my face warm through winter but not done it this year cos it's a
