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.

Peeecture?

I can only grow a goatee the damn sides won't grow.

Been growing my beard since August 2010 now, and it's growing well. My current estimate is that by Mars I'll have a full-fledged beard (around 2 decimeters in overall length) to honour my Viking ancestors... And on another point, I'm 18! Take that you well-shaved bastards, Skyrim and the end of this horrible winter awaits!

Just sent a request on the Facebook group.
I often let my beard grow so I can make mustaches and go to party disguised as mustached celebrities/characters.
Now I might as well let the beard grow until as long as I can.

So count me in.

People who can't grow beards, rejoice, for I have found a solution (hope nobody else has posted this) http://www.beardowear.ca/

I could totally knit myself one of these. New project? I think so.

Totally joining the FB group. I wanna see how much Nord power you guys can get going! Unfortunately, I cannot join... I'll do the hair braiding thing.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:11 am

Dam why did i have to shave yesterday :brokencomputer: . 2/3 weeks down the drain lol. Better get growing again lol.

Asked to join the facebook group.

I'm 16, but i could have a full beard in a month or so. xD

» Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:13 pm

Great idea, but I'm going to wait until October and make do with moderate coverage (can get reasonably thick in a month) - I couldn't stand having a beard through Summertime.

» Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:53 pm

Those of us of the estrogen persuasion can give a shot at growing out our hair and braiding it. Very Nordic!

I dont think nordic women ever shaved there legs or arm pits though????? :sick:

I would grow a beard but I'm likely to be called derrogatory hipster names when I ride my fixie to the grocery store to stock up on PBR.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 12:53 am

But we can braid our beards, 20x more nordic right there :3

:rofl: Now that would be win.

I have been trying to grow a beard for 24 years (yeah, since birth!) with no significant success. Maybe Skyrim will be so epic that I will grow one instantly due to the sheer Nordic awesomeness.

Or they could just ship the collector's edition with a beard. That would be most convenient.

I LMAO'ed. That's such a crazy idea it just might work! I say it's worth a shot. There is no way that wouldn't get some comedic publicity.

This is remarkably similar to my story. It’s even worse because there are some epic BGS beards which I get to see everyday to remind me of my own inability to achieve bearditude.

Maybe I need one of those knit hats with a built-in beard.

Well hey, thanks for the developer input from you and socrates200X. I like seeing devs involved with the community.

And, If that's the case then at least they must really be some good beards you're working on in there. Keep it up! :tops:

I'm 19 and I need to shave every few days or I look like a tramp

It's not all good news though. My beard, unlike my hair, is ginger. I don't really know what caused this

Darn shame. Mine has a stray blonde hair now and then but it's easy to shave out.

Shave, them... I saw people with that, and I think it just makes the guys who have some long beard hairs coming out of the neck look weird... I think it's better to have a shaved beard, than have 3 long facial hairs on the chin...

I hate neck hairs. All they do is cause me to get razor bumps on my neck and an occasional painful catch in my coat zipper. :sad:

45 here, and my beard is getting whiter by the year. You can still see brown, but the white is winning. Yeah, I'm getting old, but I'd like to think the white makes me look "distinguished".

Add: I think I've actually had a beard since before Arena came out. Man, I AM old.

Say it loud say it proud. That is an awesome feat.

ima wear fur armour, grow a beard and paint blue morrowind-style patterns on my face

This is also a nice idea. Except for the part that the Nords are the former arch-rival of the Dunmer. :pinch:

i will even it out a a gotee isnt a man beard.

Says you. D:

I've been blessed with unusual hairiness since my youth, had a solid goatee for the last two years of highschool. It was maybe about two years ago that I grew it out to a full beard. I'm 21 and would frequently make other older duds I worked with jealous cause they couldn't grow beards as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't grow very long yet except for in the chin region, but the rest of it is a nice even inch or so. I actually just got done growing it out for a month. Had to shave it because I look way better with the neck beard shaved off, and the rest of it just poofs out, doesn't get that nice triangular beard shape.

^ This right here is almost exactly the same story as mine. Except I'm 20 instead of 21.

Awesome thread and idea! I'm on job search right now, so I don't think I can pull it off though...

I think Bethesda should do a beard growing contest! People who want to participate would have to take a picture before they started growing the beard and then in October or November 2011 take the final pic. Then have the community decide on the best beard, and the winner gets a Collector's Edition of Skyrim. :yes:

I would absolutely love to see that.

I've already had a thick goatee/circle beard going on for a few years now and cannot grow it much more then it already is in order to maintain my job. But, I have recently started to grow a soul patch inside of it inspired by Ezio Audiotore in AC: Brotherhood. So I will keep on doing so as my beard for Skyrim!

And seesh! Where were all of these facial fur supporting women when I was single? :hubbahubba:

I would grow a beard but I'm likely to be called derrogatory hipster names when I ride my fixie to the grocery store to stock up on PBR.

If this is true, I don't think the beard is what's getting people to call you derogatory hipster names.

<------ Has a beard. Rides a bicycle to work. (Road bike, Lance Armstrong style.) Doesn't wear scarves or ironic retro t-shirts. Too fat for skinny jeans. X-D

» Wed Feb 16, 2011 11:23 pm

Work won't let me

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 4:50 am

Already got a goatee and a pormstache.
Working on growing both as long as possible, maybe I could braid the beard.

» Wed Feb 16, 2011 11:10 pm

I'm one of those people genetically incapable of growing a beard. I will say, though, that this thread is the most amusing thing I've read all night.

» Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:27 pm

I wasn't planning to, but it seems through laziness I have got a bit of one anyway. Only about this much though. http://andrewalma.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/andrews-beard.jpg Also it's spread a bit unevenly across my face. I'm only 17.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:28 am

Damn my age! Atleast I almost got a moustasche

Hear hear

» Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:54 pm

Starting right now! I'll post future checkpoints!
Is there a facebook goup? can't find it in the thread

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:12 am

I'm 23 and I can't grow a beard. They should of killed me at birth.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:02 am

Hey, that's pretty cool idea. Too bad for me tho, I just don't like myself with a beard, I think I'd look strange/funny. :happy: :pinch: Plus, my Grandmother is going to be furious about this. lul :sweat:
