I have grown a beard! I really like my new look. There are many things to get used to, the look being a big one.
I think there is a slight difference in the way someone treats someone with and without a beard. I could be imagining things, but I feel more confident. People respond with more respect or something. I can’t put my finger on it exactly.
I haven’t used a hair brush in a long time. But I have found that a boar hair brush works wonders for a beard. The hairs line up, and everything seems in place after I brush my beard. Plus it feels great! So stimulating.
A neckline is a difficult, and on-going chore. The beginning was the hardest part. Trying to a carve a neckline that is symmetrical and the proper shape was not easy for a beginner. And as the beard grows, the edges become rough, I have to trim it again and again. I didn’t expect that bit to be so much, maintenance wise. I assumed all I had to do was shave my neck.
I’ll post pictures soon. For now I believe my Google+ profile has a public picture.
