This guy seems to pull it off every time...Not sure how he does it. Why is he still hot with his 'stache? I don't like moustache's!?!

I tried growing a moustache (and thus, "full" beard) as an experiment, I gave it time to grow in thicken up, but ultimately, every time I saw myself in the mirror I thought I looked like a scumbag. I shaved the 'stache and I'm feelin' fine now. My face just isn't suited to it. Aesthetically, a Donegal beard is what works best for me.

For me, facial hair is to enhance a man's facial proportions. The design shouldn't be arbitrary--it should be there to compliment the underlying bone structure etc.

Maybe it has to do with my Celtic heritage... I don't know. But a Donegal is what works best for me, design-wise.

Well as long as you don't look like a Denny's night manager with a 'stache, I'd say you are doing fine....Kind of like this guy:

Yeah, that's what I felt like. That's Mike Judge, btw.

I've been running a Van Dyke out there for quit a while. I'm thinking of going back to the soul patch, but maybe I should shop around a little first?

Mine is long enough to be soft, wax into handlebars for a George V/Tsar Nikolas III ensemble with the beard, and the wife likes me all fuzzy. It's also long enough to eat if I'm careless biting into a sandwich -- the waxing helps in that department.

I can't do a goatee -- face shape is all wrong. A wide vandyke is workable and harmonizes with the 'stache in a seventeenth-century mode.

I'm growing a rally beard. Actually this is two weeks worth: I shave it for the first interview, or Oct. 31 when my Godspell pit band run begins. I'm hoping it looks less like crap before then, so I can keep it.

I tried to grow my moustache during my two-weeks notice. I know exactly what you mean.

Ah! That 'splains it. Two weeks is not enough. Unless you're Hairy Harry.

Yeah.. this is the point where you wish there was some sort of Acme hair growing tonic so you could just spread it on the area and immediately be "done".

Although I don't envy the guys who can grow one overnight.
