Yes, it feels great to have a beard and to see that it is now bein accepted, i used to dislike the amount of people were not approving of the beard. Why then did God include this on our faces?? For us to shave it and tell him that there is a manufacturing defect in us and we want to correct it??? I am having it no matter what…yes the fact that it makes me look a little older and wiser, infact gives me a edge in a discussion,where my opinion is given importance. It atleast adds a cool three to four years to the look and thats really nice. Now over a period of an year i have seen people start to approve of it and now a couple of guys say that they are starting it..i was honored to know that ….Beards rock…yes but needs a lot of maintenance ofcourse its a part of your face….what do you expect take a razor and shave it off??? he he growing a beard and maintaining it is not that simple..it needs dedication and commitment…but let me tell you at the end of the day..its worth that effort…

Our Beards are a symbol of handsome nobility. i keep my beard trimmed to atleast 1.5" and trim my tash trimmed. i shape and clean around my beard every other day. chicks dig it, and i love it...to some i'd look handsome without my beard, these would be the poor souls that are preconditioned by the media and by women that like this particular look.

i know some women that think its disgusting when a man clean shaves, and its masculine to keep some form of beard.

all great men that shaped the world had beards...i aspire to follow their footsteps and not some candy poster boy thats hung up in teenage girls bedrooms.

To those who shave! A man who shaves his beard, is like a lion without it's mane. we are meant to have beards, that is what a man is...we need to see more models, presenters, actors etc with them

I was clean shaving until age 45. I haven’t shaved or trimmed my beard yet. I just want to see how long I can grow it. Never again will I cut my hair or my beard….NO MAN SHOULD SHAVE or TRIM HIS BEARD….this is one thing that GOd has given us that no man can take away!!!! LONG BEARDS FOREVER!

I grew a beard my senior year of High School and had either a full beard or a long goatee ever since. That was 1992. I remember visiting a bookstore in Chicago in 1994 where I saw a picture of a bearded man hung over a copy machine captioned: "Bring back the beard." It has taken a long time but it looks like me and my hairy brother have finally done it. Now it pisses me off. I have suffered the scorn of the clean-shaven for too long and now I see these full beards popping up everywhere. I went to a club a few weeks ago to see some indie bands and 1 out of every 4 guys had full beards (some were terribly pathetic, but they were trying).

I hate this crap.

so when your kids ask you how you fought the war on terror, you can tell them you were on the frontlines.

Ok, I’m not sure about THAT, but I’ll probably be in DC in mid-May. If this is serious I’m down (assuming I get into the country with a beard .

it is a fight against terror of course- a fight against the attempt to fill goblins in my head – not taking it sitting down. so whether in ottawa or dc or london or minneapolis or toronto – grow a full, lush beard – groomed, not scruffy – and trot out ye, into the masses.

my work takes me across the border a fair bit - i have a few burrs in my saddle sometimes - but am the model borderhopper - but... this last week... read on.
"so why are you going to washington"
"I am doing XYZ". So far so good.
"Hmm.. your picture here doesnt have a beard. Why did you grow a beard?"
"uh what!", I was caught totally off guard.
"Well you heard me".
"I dont understand." -silence-
"You dont have to go to the US today if you dont answer"
"I dont understand. I just grew it. No real reason"
"Did you have an epiphany"
"What!", this isnt real.
"you didnt have a religious conversion did you"
"um. No, does it matter"
"hmm", scribbles something on a board and asks me to go to their office.

The folks inside are actually much nicer, and seem genuinely apologetic. Still, I dont know if this was deliberate or not, in order to 'disrupt my plan', they let me off about 2 minutes before my flight departure.
I missed my flight.

My point is that there's always this mean, meager, officious asshole in every system that corrupts the system but I will not let this guy piss me off. This is what I did in my trip to DC, and I want YOU to get your duffs off the chair and do something like this.

This is what I did.

I ran.
Every day in my trip, I ran
up and down the Lincoln Memorial
along the potomac
up to the washington monument
past the white house
through the roosevelt memorial
by the tidal basin
in my bearded glory.

And you know what I heard...
"duuude", "way to go", "run forrest run"...
Not a cuss. Lots of nods, smiles and waves. things are still A-OK!! ... it's still the same country fundamentally

This is my pledge, my fight. I am not shaving now.

What I want you to do this summer
Let it grow out for at least one long weekend...
And go for a run, chest out and head up by the capitol, in pairs if possible - let me know if you need a pacer.

so when your kids ask you how you fought the war on terror, you can tell them you were on the frontlines.
