How do I know I have a coarse beard? Well...because until my hair gets about 1/8 of an inch long, it's hard enough to penetrate the skin. Because when I had a beard, you could hang a pair of sunglasses on it.

I've seen guys with light whispy beards, like the hair on my arms and legs. I've also seen guys with big grizzly adams beards...I'm one of those.
