at what age did you start growing a full beard?

[mfourchette]

@rodfpuncher 30.  I'm almost 32 and I'm still noticing new hairs popping up.

My boyfriend wasn't able to put up with the itchiness and shaved it off shortly after starting. What a wimp!

[mfourchette]

@TwistedMind6969 Yeah, some guys can't take the itchiness in the early weeks. I guess some beards are itchier than others, but when I was growing it out I didn't find it to be so itchy that I just had to get rid of it...

baby oil also works for your stubble beard of 2-4weeks into your growth, also shampoo and conditioner is great for a soft beard :)

[mfourchette]

@TheGodin69 Agreed, although I'd stick just with conditioner and avoid the shampoo.

[demonsean]

i wear a dust mask at work. it messes my beard up so bad. any tips?

[undisputed4life]

HOLY SHIT. IT'S JESUS.

Faint bald spots: commit and the beard will eventually cover said bald spots

Itchiness: could it be in-grown hairs? If so, arm yourself w/ a cache of peroxide and alcohol, a good cosmetic mirror and a good set of tweezers.

Stiffness/coarseness of the beard: condition it daily. I condition for a minimum of ten minutes while taken a dump.

Please I need help. I'm 18. I grow really thick neck hair. Mustache. And my chin goes up from the bottom like a half circle and the rest seems to be bald. My sides are relatively thick but go in and it does seem to grow at all on my cheeks. Can I grow a beard? Will that all actually come in with time?

[lbrinson0002]

Great videos, good tips also. I got some of the jojoba oil it really keeps my beard soft and smoothed down to my face. Im 2 months in to my bearding for this winter and I hope to keep it all the way to spring w/o trimming. You are a great encouragement when I want to give up the growing a large beard. I hope I can make it 6 mon. Keep doing the videos.

@mfourchette

I got a lot of itchiness and irritation at first, but now I'm glad I decided to wait before shaving it all off. :)

Can you dye your beard? :o
