lets talk about beards.....

[maninahat]

For the love of everything that is loveable, don't grow a neckbeard, no matter what you might think when you stand just right while looking in the mirror it's not going to lock good.

Just shave that shit off.

ok fair enough, why do you hate neck beards for, the look or the way they feel?

No one with any taste likes neck beards. They look ridiculous, and n00bish amoung when compared to veteran bearded people. A good beard should be shaped to some degree, otherwise you end up look exactly like a kid who has just grown a beard for the first time (and doesn't know the proper way to groom it). Generally, as long as you shave any hair on the kneck itself, you should be fine.

Consider how long you want it as well. If you get a trimmer with an ajustable shaving guard, you can trim back your beard without having to shave it off entirely. Trimming this way will also make the beard look fresh and clean, as hair inevitably frays at the tips.

It is scientifically proven that beards give you +5 to your bear wrestling stat.

But in all seriousness, I think beards are super rad. I wish I could grow one...stupid bears...

im afraid that the wrestling bear stats would be generally against my character build as i am from britain and there are no bears to fight in the region of norfolk, unfortunately, so ill probably pool my points into a more useful skill such as speech or barter and also repair since im training to be a mechanic

definitely go with the cao cao beard. a picture for those who dont know the cao cao beard

hell yeah.

Why not go the whole hog and go Fu Manchu?

 

[gonzo20]

Dunno if this is your situation but beards done well generally look good on 'jolly' guys.

If you have thin hair like me, it may take a while for the beard to look good (meaning, you should probably just shave for a while before growing).
It's also cool, I think, if your beard happens to be a different color then you hair, although I guess that would probably depend on the colors in question. Not to mention, this isn't something you can do on purpose unless you dye one or the other.
Also, be careful for what you wish for, some people can grow beards in a day, and I hear that's no fun.

[F'Angus]

I tried but I've got a stupid bald spot near the middle of my chin, splits my beard weirdly.

But Hell if you want to grow a beard you totally should.

Spoiler: The best possible beard ever

[Reed Spacer]

I had one once; keeping it tidy was just as much trouble as shaving every couple of days, so I just shaved it off.

A tidy, full beard, about an inch off the face and not ginger.

Those are my requirements for a beard to be attractive. A friend of mine is dating an italian with a beard like that and Damn is he ever fine.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Dunno if this is your situation but beards done well generally look good on 'jolly' guys.

what do you mean jolly?

Y'know, salad-dodgers, butter-bathers, jelly-bowlers, have-your-cake-and-eat-his-too-ers.

You get the general idea.
