Well today I just realized that I had crossed the line of a one year beard a couple weeks ago. However its not a true yeard as it has been trimmed with scissors a bit to flatten the cheeks and shape it. I'm pretty proud of it especially considering it's my first time ever growing facial hair since high school (I'm 22). I'm thinking it'll stay as long as life and work allow it.
A couple things I've noted since I started:
- I have red hairs streaking down from the corners of my mouth. I don't know of any living relatives with red hair. Adds a cool contrast I think.
- My beard is CURLY! If you straightened the hairs some of them would start reaching my chest. I found a hair that fell out once that 100% looked like a slinky!
- I've developed some patience whilst growing it. In the beginning I was so eager for it to just grow. Now I honestly have to think about how long I've had it.
- It keeps me damn warm in the winter months when it reaches -40 Celsius.
- I had to change how I ate quite a bit otherwise I'd be chewing on my moustache every meal or saving food in my chin for later
This is latest pic of me. It's from a few days ago when I was out looking for wolves and doing some ice fishing.
Cheers everyone!
