If you are growing a vet beard and don't aspire to look like a ptsd addled hobo then you are wrong.

I'm gonna admit it- I don't grow the vet beard anymore.

Every couple of weeks to maybe a month and a half I cut the crop down to stubble and start anew. I was told I'm "too intense" of a "person" when my personality coupled with a truly righteous vet beard like Spongebob or RL's.

But I ain't been put in the back of a cop car trying to open a checking account since the change to no beard so perhaps there is something to it. :(

Mine had gotten pretty squirrelly a couple days ago, so I had the lady at the peluquería clipper it down to a #4.

It was in regards to some poo poo playing on the TV in the waiting room. Just thought it was funny because I've never heard someone say that with no irony. Stop being a dick t:mad:

Also yeah I had a thought yesterday that the difference between a give no fucks beard and a groomed beard is being a hipster. I think I'll just stick to brushing.

Sometimes girlfriend prefers I not look like the unabomber. That's about the only time I bother waxing up the beard.

I mean, I love walking around looking like a complete nutcase with my hair doing whatever it wants, in those boots, wearing my gold star "I pooped today" shirt. Girlfriend doesn't appreciate it quite as much.

I keep mine between 5/8 and 3/4 inch. And neck hair is NOT okay. Growing a real beard doesn't mean you can have a neck beard. Shave that poo poo right below your jaw line.

It's okay little Vetnochio, you'll be a real civilian someday. Pappa Shimetto will make a beard for you! I know you were getting retired when I was re-enlisting and have had your civilian game on lockdown for a hot minute, I just wanted to use Vetnochio when I thought of it. :).

Yeah, that doesn't do a whole lot. I have a stupid unkempt Irish red beard to go with my stupid unkempt brown hair. At best I look homeless, the rest of the time it's more like Robin Williams in Jumanji.

Works for my beard. I don't do anything special. I just shampoo/condition it when I shower like any other hair on my head.

Not all of us have silky smooth beard hair from whatever genetic stock is known for being greasy and naturally shiny. Some of us need poo poo to keep our beards in line. Just combing mine doesn't do poo poo unless I comb up and out and look like a real hobo.
