My beard is about 3 inches long now, if you take the longest chin hairs and measure them straight. My beard is a bit wavy, so it only appears to be about 2 inches.
The beard is long enough now that I've stopped shaving my neck. From the front, this looks fine, as my beard actually covers my neck, but from profile, the neckular area it looks like it has some filling in to do. I'm convinced that the neck hair will only contribute to the overall look of the beard, but not until it fills out.
I've been trimming my moustache off my top lip, but letting the sides go long. This doesn't look as good as I thought it would. My moustache was quite long at one point, and it looked fantastic, but eating something like a cheeseburger was a challenge. I freaking love cheeseburgers, which is why I trimmed the 'stache. I'm going to try letting it grow long again, but eat a burger with..... *gulp*.... a knife and fork. Blasphemy, I know.
Some family has been waging all out war on my beard. (Read: mother-in-law.) I've been stalwart about it so far, and I don't intend to change that.
The hair on my head got quite scraggly. I briefly thought about letting it grow, but then changed my mind and had it cut short. Didn't touch the beard, don't worry.
