Summer beard contest!

Everyone knows it doesn't start until No Shave November

How old was he when the picture was taken?

Forty-five.

I already grew one...and shaved it off. In just 2 weeks I had a nice one going. One thing that is odd about my facial hair is that although my own hair is blond/brown, my beard has some red whiskers that stand out quite individually in it, although not as much now as most of it is grey, but I still got a little pepper in my salt.

And at 45 myself, Sherman actually has less grey hair than I do....but my face has no where the amount of wrinkles and creases his does.

Pull my finger!

Unless I'm mistaken, you haven't been campaigning for three years in the Appalachian back country, either. I imagine we'd all look that badass after that.

I think its simply a large part of living in that era simply aged you incredibly. But it is fairly obvious that he didnt moisturize very well....

Oh I'm sure. Lenin's hair fell out by the time he was 30. I suppose that could be genetic, too, though.

But along the lines of my comment about being in the country for so long; Luis Emilio's account of the 54th Massachusetts includes his impression and a description of Sherman's troopers when they arrived to help Pope's forces besiege Savannah. I don't have the book with me so I can't quote it verbatim, but he basically says they're the hardiest-looking, manliest bastards you've ever seen, and they both intimidated and awed him with their calm confidence. So basically Sherman dragged 110,000 men across Georgia who were exactly like himself.

But it is fairly obvious that he didnt moisturize very well....

Its his fault he burned all those Southern country stores without salvaging Ye Olde Bodywashe.

YOu are insane, non. I grow a yearly beard, but it is only during the winter. I could not abide my fur face coat during the summer months. Do it over the winter months and I'll be happy to participate. Be warned, I'll spank most of you here. I've been able to grow a full beard since 7th grade.

I've started my winter beard. I shaved Saturday evening, so I guess it is more like 2 2/3rds day growth rather than 2 days.

[Abaddon]

You could have smiled...


Oh, an I folded.. I shaved mine into a chin-strap jobbie...

 

[bhsup]

I'm old and crotchety. I don't do smile.

Ha! MobBoss is GINGER!

And I'm NOT fat thank you very much. Still waiting for someone to smell me though.

New update: Later tonight it will be 2 weeks.

 

[Gooblah]

Smile more in your pics, V! you're always so sad...

 

[nonconformist]

Heftily trimmed my beard:

[bhsup]

Okay you lemmings, I smiled! Satisfied?? This is day 37. It won't get much longer because it is about to the point where I start maintaining a static length. Still, I think it's decent for 5 weeks and 2 days of growth.

EDIT: After much self-deliberation, I claim victory over Abaddon and Nonconformist. Yay me.

 

[Counterclaw]

If I had a manly beard

As opposed to a womanly beard?

 

[Godwynn]

As opposed to a womanly beard?

Yes, there are womanly beards.

 

[Elta]

VRWC 2 day beard is ridiculous.


That's like a 3 month beard for me.

 

[Elta]

Also, I am down for a winter beard contest.


....... Though I assume we will not be doing it when winter officially starts right?

So when to when?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Unfortunately for me, the coming of the winter will probably herald me moving home, and thus transferring stores into a new district which maintains much stricter image regulations; if things haven't changed from when I left, I will be clean-shaven again by mid-December. This displeases me greatly.

I was hoping to grow it out to Chekhov length or so:
