Growing a beard [Extra Fabulous Comics]

I can grow a decent amount of facial hair. Unforturnately, it's just curly enough to look scraggly, but not curly enough to pack in nicely on itself. But it's red hair in contrast to my normal dark brown hair, and I don't want to waste it.
- Ah yes, an ironbeard.
- You might be running out of ink, drink more blood of the witch
- Hopefully it's not Curly enough to have a tart for a wife and violent tendencies

If I let my beard get long enough, the neckbeard cowlicks collide and make random waves and spikes stick out.
- Do you happen to own a spaceship named the Bebop?
- Ugh, I have a spot on my chin that the hair grows in a spiral, so I always have a cowlick.

Legit considering getting my beard lasered off because I have such awful genes for beard hair.
The moustache is fine though, I get to roleplay as flanders to make my GF laugh because she's the more outgoing one :3
- My beard genes are primarily neck beard and pencil mustache. Hasn't stopped me from growing out in the past.

I can't grow facial hair for shit. I grow out a moustache after Thanksgiving so i can have a Christmas moustache, but after a month of growth i only get a caterpillar moustache. I also grow a playoff beard whenever the Blues make playoffs, since shaving that nasty fucker is a perfect silver lining when they get bounced. Other than that, i am clean shaven every other day of the year. I already have a baby face, and. trying to grow facial hair makes me look10 years younger in a bad way
- I have the opposite problem. I've had a beard the vast majority of my adult life (32M). Whenever I shave my wife will constantly pester me to grow it back since I look like 6 years younger. Add to that I start to actually notice how age has affected my face and end up growing it back very quickly lol.
  
  I have to grow mine out because I have permanent 5 o'clock shadow and it hurts my wife's face.

Don't fret beardless man. Its evolution. Who needs a crumb catcher?
- Wow look at this fat cat over here who can afford to lose crumbs
  
  Oh it catches spit. It also catches feces when you flush the toilet as well.

My goatee might not be majestic or massive, but it compliments my face well, and all sideburns do is make me look like a teen trying too hard
I'll take what I've got, at least I'm not rocking just a soul patch, right?

I keep flipflopping between shaving and letting it grow. I think I look better with a goatee; but I was getting sick of having my face hair going into my mouth when eating.
- I've kept a beard for years, but I've always trimmed and maintained it short enough that this isn't a problem, with the bonus that it also doesn't look scraggly. It's a happy medium.
- Just trim your mustache to match the top line of your upper lip. No more food concerns, and kissing is better too. I can't stand having my mustache cover my lips, even though it looks pretty good.

minoxidil fixes this for most people. just saying.
- Minox allowed me to enter the awkward phase.
  One day I'll grow through it.
