Beards and more beards

Nice to note that the photographer is a UT-Austin graduate and worked at GSD&M, a very good advertising agency in Austin. These photos remind me that I really MUST do something about coiffing my own hirsute, which now just rambles hither and yon.

Lovely! Nothing like nice facial hair.

Here I am in "winter pelage". Come tomorrow morning it'll be about 4" shorter, and with more gray (and still a bit of red)

I too am one of those that can't grow a full beard. My father could go hunting for the week and come back looking like Grizzy Adams, me I went almost 2 months and it wasn't much more than most people's 5 o'clock shadow.

My wife prefers me with facial hair of some sort and I prefer it myself. I have been able to grow a full beard since I was 16 but alas, for the last 3 years I have had to keep my face clean shaven for the sake of my hobbies. Facial hair in any form other than a very thin well kept mustache is completely historically inaccurate for the 18th century, it is equally wrong for a soldier in WW2. I reenact various eras from the English Civil War through WW2 but the ones I enjoy the most being Scottish Jacobite 1745, 7 Years War, WW1 and WW2 it is simply unacceptable for my standard of authenticity.

Those are some pretty cool pics on the calendar, but most of those are too much maintenance for me. I either keep it shaved or just let it go until I can't stand it anymore...and I'm in one of my "letting it go" phases. Considering that the price of razors went up again I might let it go until I look like this guy.
