It's true, I've gone 4 days without shaving and I already feel like a dirtball.

Why? Seriously, I know I am on a shaving forum but In my opinion a well groomed beard is much more manly than BBS.

We're both in the military and it's a MUST shave 5 days a week. It's the Queen's rules...

I am required to wear a respirator at work so I understand the desire/need for a BBS but the dirtball remark is what I question.

Beard growing contest rules state that we can't trim our beards; they are supposed to grow wild. There is no 'well manicured' beard here. I feel like a dirtball too.

I was going to pm you and ask if you are in the military you answered that already. I wish I could pay to grow a beard for a month but the US Army has huge image issues. Right now I have to shave 7 days a week currently using a DE and some of these blades feel like I scraped a brick across my face. One of these days I will have a straight I am not sure Afghanistan is a great place to start learning.

Good luck on your beard growing I hope you win.

I spent a few months in that Desert, Kandahar to be exact. I wish i was using a straight when I was there!
Be safe my friend!!

Swedish armed forces is a little strange, you either need to be clean shaven or have a beard, nothing in between!

The first time I was here and now I am out east.

It's been a few days since the last picture. I'm on day 8 now. Enjoy
