Growing a beard (steps)
« on: November 22, 2008, 04:07:28 PM »
Alas,

I've decided to forgo the shaven look, and have decided to take up a beard. Many of my colleagues adorn a beard on their face, so, since Providence Almighty, has provided me the genetics of hair, I will make use of it. And shall grow it. This will be my first try in growing a full beard. I will document it here.

This is just an experiment, mind you. Feel free to give me your comments and advice.

Sir Layman,

Perhaps we can start a beard-growing trend in here, haha. No but seriously, my beard is only in the early stages; as I haven't shaved  since last week. I do trim the upper and lower edges to keep it organized.

I realize how much a man can become enthralled and grow attached to his beard. I've had my beard now for a little over 2 weeks, and I've already developed techniques in combing a beard as well as stroking the beard when one thinks, lol.

I had my hair trimmed, but chose to keep the beard and requested my barber 'mold' the height of my hair to the height of my beard's growth. And I am satisfied with his work. It has its own appeal, me-thinks.

Observationally,

I've noticed that I have patches of red hair on my beard. Large amount of patches on the border of the angle of the mandible, and more so in the chin and mustache line.
I was curious if this is a normal thing and if many other Filipino men have red or brown patches of hair in their facial hair?

Or is this some kind of recessive trait, down in the gene pool?

For those who trim their beard, I realized it best to evade in using a shave as it can lead to excess trimming. I recommend using a scissor and comb to trim, and if you need to clean of the sides, I recommend using an old barber bladed shave.

Go slow and go smooth on the edges, just trust your fingers to clean the trough.

Yours,

Dear Bran,

You look really great with a beard, mature looking. Keep on posting the developments, I think it  enhances your  sex appeal.

Thank you, Tita, haha my friends also told me that I look better with a beard.
I think it makes me look older, bitaw, which I like.

I was just surprised to see patches of red hair on my chin hair and on my side as I never noticed this before.

Curious lang ko if other Pinoy guys had this same thing too.

Growth thus far,



I'm thinking about letting the whole thing grow. Just had a question for you guys, should I keep the attachment thin or thick? My one friend told me to let the attachments grow and not clean it.

I dunno, what say you?

Lorenzo,

You will soon look like the Templar Knights of old. Di ba they grow their beard but shave their head (although I'm not sure you will go to this extreme)  ;D

Beard... they grow on you.

These lump of hair in my armpits. Can I call them beard  ;D

A colleague of mine, who is also growing a beard, has introduced to me the 'trim' technique.
Growing a beard, indeed, is time consuming process. One must continually trim the sides in order to keep it looking 'crisp' and 'clean'.

I have developed a close relationship with my beard. Truly, a beard is what makes a man.


Growth thus far,

Growth thus far (4 weeks of growth).

Note that I did trim the sides, and clean up some of the excess growth.
I maintained a groomed beard, albeit the fact that its growth had to be continuously checked.
Alas, Providence provided me with the genetic gifts of Hair and its growth. lol.

lol!

I think the beard makes me look more Spanish looking. Whenever I went to the mall and or stores with colleagues. We went to a Cologne Afficionado a couple of days ago and the server talked to me in Spanish, the lady thought I was Colombian. And when I told her I was Filipino, she did not believe, lol.

Ladies love the rugged-scruffy look, I think.

It gives a man a sophisticated, mature yet reserved look. Which is what I'm vying for.

That bearded look is not sophisticating, it is actually a rugged look which makes a woman weak. It is like this fantasy of a weak woman and here comes the man and sweeps you in his strong arms and rugged looks. Wow, this is good for young girls only.

During my younger years  (kining akong lawas mo ovulate pa), if i smell a sweaty body of a man it turns me on so much that I get wet. During sex I love the smell of the armpit and all those natural odors of the body and the salty taste.  Men don´t worry about those expensive men´s cologne or after shave. It doesn´t serve its purpose of attracting the opposite gender.

haha, the natural scent of a man. For me, a woman does not even need to wear perfume. The eye of a woman, her eyelashes, and the movement of her lips is enough to capture my attention.

Man and Woman complement each other. Two separate pieces, but when combined. Equates as One.
