    I would, but being american indian, I can't hardly get a moustache and goatee to grow, let alone a beard.

    I prefer Movember. Just a 'stache. I've grown a sweet porn-stache for Movember the last couple years.

    I got tired of my full beard and just last week trimmed it back down to a goatee.

    I find that I prefer the longer beard in the summer and shorter in the winter. It has something to do with dry skin that I can't get to in order to scratch under all that hair in the winter and heat/humidity exacerbated razor burn in the summer.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    I usually start my beard around now and shave sometime in Jan. When duck hunting in below 0, it helps to have some fur!

    My Dad was like that. Had the aquiline nose, the high cheekbones, red skin -- could not grow but the least skimp of beard. Each of us six children have his high square forehead; otherwise each inherited one trait or another. One sis had the long heavy shiny black hair. Another the copper skin. Another the cheekbones. Me, small hands, stoicism, philosophical imagination, and a love of nature so profound that I cannot stand to trim a tree or dig a hole. Even mowing a lawn is like physical pain. Can't explain it. No one on either side grows a beard as curly and thick as I do. The best combo was my eldest sister, who combined great-grandma's cheekbones and hawk nose and copper skin with my father's hazel eyes and blond hair. Striking. Great grandpa had one heck of a beard down to his chest, and long wavy chestnut hair.

    Great grandma was Siksikiwa... Blackfoot.

    This time of year I grow my balaclava beard long and let my Gyro Gearloose bozos fluff on out, to keep warm. The chrome dome has to have a hat.

    Fire place weather rolling in. Trees shedding rapidly. Invigorating. Love it.

    I have zero notion what awareness is supposed to accomplish. Seems to me the most poignant and pervasive mens' problem is the virtual certainty you will not get to live in the same house with your children to help them grow up day by day. How any divorced father paying child support to merit metered visits on alternate weekends soothes that open wound by growing a November beard just baffles me. Much less prostate cancer. Of all the silly buzzwords we have seen come and go, this "awareness" may be the most fatuous.

    So this is about awareness of something or other? I thought it was something some college/HS kid cooked up at some private school with a dress code that included shaving as an excuse not to shave. If it's about awareness, it's failed in epic fashion.

    This kind of temperature, I grow a full on billy goat to keep the neck warm on the ride to work. 21 dedamngrees this morning. It's like February round here.

    Can not see the advantage to shaving. Nothing but wasted time, money, and even blood from time to time. It's like in the old days, when men were expected to wear stinking ties. Sure glad we got over that nonsense.

    Only down side to beards, they do require a lot of napkin.
