I’m the first to admit it’s a crappy beard. There are a few bald patches here and there. I was not blessed with the hirsute gene. I know guys who could grow a full beard over a three day weekend. But for someone like me, who normally shaves only twice a week, it takes a while. Plus, there’s a big patch of white whiskers on my left side, that makes me look like I fell asleep against a freshly-painted wall. The rest is various shades of red, brown, auburn and silver. Not grey, but silver. Looks like little chrome threads sticking out of my chin/Bob Wire, New West. More here.
Question: Do you grow a winter beard or other type of facial hair? Does it look good?
