just shaved off my homeless beard.......
first few months it gets pretty shaggy till it fills in, and I look like one of the homeless walking the streets. With the recent election hopefully I won't need the homeless look any more to get by. Dang thing was itching and driving me crazy anyway, guess that goes with being homeless though……..had me 3lb coffee can and sign for donations guess I can put them in the back of the garage also

My wife always said no way I could not have a beard unless I wanted to sleep on the couch full time

A true story I may have shared before but here it is again.
The last few years of my late father in laws life he kind of let himself go in regards to regular shaving. He was also very frugal having lived through the Great Depression and would dress in clothes that were pretty tattered and well worn. He also was pretty well off financially, having worked his entire life in well paying sales jobs.
About once a week, my wife and I would take both of her parents shopping. The gals would go into the store and my FIL and I would sit outside the place on a nice bench set up out front of the place and enjoy people watching.
This one kind of cold Fall morning as we were sitting there, this very kind lady came by us and slipped a 20 dollar bill into my FIL's jacket pocket. 😲 She was quiet and very quick about it and before either of us could get back to her to return her money she was gone into the busy parking lot. The old man snickered a bit and then said to me that there sure are some pretty nice people in this world. I had a very hard time keeping from breaking out into a full belly laugh! 😅

My 'winter beard' typically starts mid-October but since harvest was later than usual this year, it didn't get started until November. First time I saw my current barber was March 2011 and I was wearing all the hair and beard grown since Labor Day 2010. Looked sort of like a sheep had been sheared when she finished with all the hair lying on the floor. I went in last week for my 'fall haircut' and she asked when I would be back—March or maybe April.😁

I have grown a winter beard a couple times in my younger days, 35-40 years ago. There always was a kind of bald spot on my left jaw area for some reason, so I quit doing the beard thing. However, I have had a mustache since I could grow one.

I’m in the poor homeless stage of growing my beard back. I was 41 when my youngest son was born. I had a mostly gray beard at the time and everyone thought I was his grand dad.

My first wife had never seen me without a beard until we had been married for two years . I shaved one Sunday morning before she got up and slipped back into bed with her. Her reaction was priceless .

I’ve grown a beard a couple of times, when you shave it off seems to always makes one look younger. Last beard was over 40 years ago. Now my mustache I’ve had since 1970 don’t see it being shaved off.

Growing a beard every winter was a loggers tradition.

I have had my current beard for the last 14 years. The older I get the more I need to cover my face !!!!

My dad could grow a full beard in two weeks. He shaved every morning and if they went somewhere that evening he had to shave again. He used those double edge blades and put the used ones in the slot in the back of the medicine cabinet. After he died, Mom had the medicine cabinet replaced. The void in the wall was nearly half full of old blades.

I remember that slot in the back of the medicine cabinet, dad would put his old used blades in it. I have wondered how many blades were put in there over the years.
