I started this thread since I decided to take a vacation from myself during my unemployment by letting my facial hair grow out between times I have to go out into polite society (by that I don't mean just going out to shop or what have you). Anyways, it has been 2 weeks since my last shave and yet, despite being closer to 30 than to 25, my beard coverage is sporatic and pathetic to say the least. It is unpresentable really, which is a shame I suppose. Anyways, can you grow a manly beard? How long does it take you to grow something respectable? Do you see your ability to grow massive amounts or your lack thereof as a positive or a negative? On a side note: What's the point of an electric shaver? They seem to take forever in TV spots and not give as close a shave.
