I go all out; this is my favorite time of the year!

I also participate in Optional Shaving October and follow NSN up with Don't Shave December, and occasionally I will participate in Just Don't give a F**k January.

Only once have I taken it to Fro-Faced February.



I may make it to Might Shave March this time.






Me and my friends have too much free time.

Damnit, why didn't I know about this! Last night I was debating on shaving or just trimming a bit (gotta be clean for work and I have been debating growing it out anyway). Fack, now its too late. FML :D

I would be right there with ya, with my girlfriend hating me as well...but I can't due to working at Discount damnit...

I fully believe No Shave November should NOT apply to the wimen folk!

I wish it would grow longer, but it just curls up. It's actually about 2-3 month worth right now...

I'm going to try to make it to March without shaving. I finally have a job that doesn't involve dealing with customers, so I don't need to worry about looking presentable.

I didn't shave for about two years once... right at the end of freshman year I shaved it all off. Several of my friends didn't even recognize me. Problem is, when I grow a beard it is... thick and scraggly at the same time, so I end up looking like a crazed hobo. It's not good.

I don't think I've shaved since sometime during September. Well, what are calling shaving? I never keep a mustache and my neck is usually clean, but I do have a beard

This summer I did not shave for two months. It all started cause I was camping for a month, but then I remembered how much I liked it and it stayed for another month. I highly recommend it:D

Ha ha. I like the way you think.
I usually take most of the year off when it comes to shaving.

Not shaving is only allowed for men. Women are not permitted to not shave.




Ill post pictures in a week or so. Right now I just look like a prepubescent teen who hasnt shaved for the last 16 years.

I haven't seen my chin in 6 years or so, and my wife of almost 5 years has never seen me without some kind of beard\goat. I plan on shaving during my week off around Christmas.

My 18yo son just came to visit from college this last weekend, and is proudly participating in NSN. Unfortunately for him, he got the same facial hair genes as my brother (who finally succeeded in growing a beard at age 50), and he's sporting maybe 3/16" of blond wisps on the point of his chin. But hey, he's trying.

Terrible photo, but it's the only one of me with a beard. I last shaved on the third of October, so this is almost two months of growth:

Sorry, common sense and the laws of six Southern states prevent me from posting pictures. :photo: :anon:

Tomorrow morning I have a business presentation for one of my classes, so I have to look professional. Nothing like a comb over and a mustache to shout business professional.
Only if you also wear aviators.
Just for you:wave1:

I had a wedding to go to in November so I kept a trimmed beard for the first couple weeks. I always grow one in the winter anyway. But, I haven't even trimmed up in about 3 weeks so it's getting shaggy. I wanna try and let this one run out till March. But, January is a more realistic goal. Hunting season ends...no need for the mountain man look.

My goal is to show up to Winterfest with a huge mountain-man beard. We'll see if I can make it that long.

hahah i am not making it that long. im just keeping it till i go home. then shaving everything off, all the hair and beard.

I'm going on 3 months or so, I pulled a couple gray hairs out of my beard the other day and those were around to 3" in length! This isn't too bad though, I went all summer before my last shave and haircut and by the time I trimmed everything I could almost tie the hair on my forehead to the hair on my chin:wow:

Still got mine, also getting to around 3", stretched. It's all curly though so it's just turns out to be a thick mat of hair.

Just be careful when you start getting old, heavy, and gray. My parents and sister went out to eat a week or so ago and there was this one little girl that kept looking at Dad kinda funny. Finally her mother spoke up and apologized before telling Dad that the reason her daughter kept staring at him was that she thought he was Santa:laugh3: There have been more than a few occasions that he's looked and acted a little like Denver Pyle (Jesse Duke) too..........
