    I have pretty much exactly McGregor’s beard in this pic. I never realized it could be the object of beardly ambitions, and I never seriously considered the distress of a man who isn’t able to have the beard he wants. Thanks for the new point of view…

      I’m in my mid forties, I have the beard growing ability of a 13 year old girl. I would fucking love to be able to grow a thick, bushy beard. But alas.

      Guess my massive wang makes up for it.

        If it helps, I can’t stop growing a thick bushy beard, but it gets itchy, and the individual hairs are so coarse it’s like steel wool. Rasps the skin off my lips if I’m a day late in trimming.

        And now in my early 40s it’s growing out my nose and ears too (and I can see the first signs of those crazy eyebrow beards old men get). Sometimes a loose nose hair gets up between by nose and my throat, and it’s like flossing your sinuses with a cheese wire.

          I got the best of both worlds. Incredibly thick hair, but just sparse, with cheeks largely uncovered and full beard at neck. I use real razor blades, because they’re the onyl thing that cuts without nicking me, but they still tug like shit because they’re so thick.

        Let’s trade. I resigned myself to my beard (shaving irritates my skin so much that I stopped bothering), but I never really wanted it. Though I’m not sure if I’ll like my face beardless after so many years … I got quite a bit older and fatter.

        Keep the wang, tho.
