Can't grow a full beard?

I can only grow everything but the cheeks. I keep it all shaved (besides the sideburns).

 

I get five o'clock shadow at noon. The upside is that during climbing season in mid-winter I never have to wear a face mask to keep my face warm, but I fucking hate wearing a beard; it itches like a mofo, and I have this annoying nervous habit of chewing on the corner of my lip when I do have one, and I wish I could find razors that I don't have replace after 3 shaves (and I use those expensive ass gillette fusion blades).

 

That's another thing. I can use the same razor for 6 months.

 

Man, I've used the same razor every day, for like... 8 months now. I don't even use shaving cream, I hate the stuff.

 

I used to shave without shaving cream, but I can't anymore.

 

Oh, and when I see or hear people saying they need to use a new razor every other time, I always find that really hard to believe.

 

At 20 i can only grow a mustache and a bit of a goatee without the two connecting, oh and some weak ass sideburns. I blame my Native genes.

 

I can easily grow a beard. Since my sophomore year in high school.

I keep a beard always, not a full on beard, but a tad more than a 5 o'clock shadow.

 

I'm not quite that bad, but I cycle through a ton of them.

I actually generally like having a really thick beard, even though I keep clean-shaven for the most part. Any time I get bored with how I look I can get a goatee or beard fully in within a week.

Only thing that sucks is my mustache. In the context of a beard it looks great, but on its own it looks comically homosexual. I've shaved off beards over the course of the last couple of decades and left just the mustache, just to see girlfriends' reactions. Invariably they start giggling hysterically, and progress to asking me to go shopping with them/help them pick a new hair style/decide on new curtains for the kitchen. It takes days to convince them to have sexual relations again, even after it's shaved off. Such is the amazing power of my gay mustache.

Now that I'm in the mid-30's, I tend to beard less and less. Too many white hairs. I happened to shave off a beard two nights ago, went out to a restaurant, and got carded when I ordered a beer. (I was the only one.) That may be the nail in the coffin of beards for me now.

 

Haha, that has to be fun.
