Beard or no beard?
by DannyUK
At what stage does an unshaven man get his stubble to a length that it is considered a beard? A couple of days? A week? When it begins to feel soft rather than like velcro?

There is certainly a fashion embraced in this day and age for facial hair. It’s not a new thing of course. You can look at any decade and see men with full sideburns, crafted goatees or even just a let-it-grow approach to facial fuzz. Even my long deceased nan had a full growth of long white hair on her chin in the late 90s. But as 2013 draws to a close more and more men are sporting a beard.
I’m no exception, but mine is now verging on getting so big I’ll be able to house birds in it (see picture proof!).
I’ve no idea how to upkeep a beard. Do I trim it? Should it be an equal length all over? Short of paying money for someone to do it for me (and with a hairline like mine you’ll understand why I haven’t been near a barber for years), the most I do is brush it down with my hands.
So what’s the consensus? Long beard? Neat beard? Stubble? No beard? I’m open to suggestions.
Edit: For those interested, there is a great little site which offers a guide to beard trimmers. It also has articles on how to shape a beard, how to get your beard to grow faster and much more! Check it out at beardtrimmerreviews.co.uk.

Got to love the beard! If you’re not sure what to do with it, why not go to the barbers and get advice? You might enjoy a bit of beard pampering 🙂
Neither – Less beard – you’re bordering on tramp dude.
“tramp” is very *in* these days!
TBF, it’s not – Badly Drawn Boy was doing it AAAGGGGEEEEES ago.
Beard! Nicely trimmed. Not fancy stubble, proper beard but kept neat. Always.
That sounds like effort! The whole point of not shaving is it needs less maintenance 😉
yo danny, great beard blog xxx
