Name: Robert.
Occupation: Landscaper, Handyman.

About Robert’s beard:

I have had some form of facial hair since I was sixteen years old with the exception of about a year-and-a-half for a job. I’ve always been miserable without it and I feel that it suits my face just fine.

I grew this beard from clean-shaven just over a year ago. I started at the end of last November, right after my birthday. I’m celebrating a fun-filled yeard.

Robert has shown himself to be quite handy at cultivating a robust and luxuriant beard. Great growing there, Robert!

Name: ADi.
Occupation: Police Officer.

About ADi’s beard:

Why did I grow my beard? First I grew my beard while my wife was pregnant with our daughter. I had grown a “play off” beard. This was in 2009/2010. Now I feel proud with my beard because it is so full and well-cared-for every day.

What do I think about my beard? It is unique and has a nice cut.

How do I feel about my beard? Awesome.

How long have I been bearded? I started growing it in 2009.

How do I like being bearded? Sometimes it’s hard to hear always the same remarks.

ADi surely has grown a first-class beard! Also, his barber’s work with the beard is amazing!

No-Shave November 2016

No-Shave November 2016
Wade is an accomplished beard grower. Now it’s time to show the world what you can grow!

Welcome, new beard growers!

Today is the beginning of No-Shave November 2016. It is a perfect opportunity for you to try out your beard-growing ability. We are happy to welcome new beard growers into the bearded brotherhood. Beards.org is here to encourage, inspire, and guide you through the beard-growing process. You will never know how your beard will turn out unless you give it a chance to grow out.

Go ahead and grow your beard! No-Shave November, however, is just the beginning. To do your new beard justice, you should keep it growing into December and beyond. Each beard is unique as is its rate of growth. For most men, just one month of beard-growing will not be enough to produce optimum results. Give your new beard more time before making a decision on whether or not to keep it. We hope you will stay with it and become yet another successful beard grower!

Now to get started on your beard the right way, go check out our tried-and-true instructions on how to grow your beard! Good luck and enjoy your new beard-growing adventure!
