I have no creativity, but I want to grow a beard

[phattonez]

So that means I'm completely clueless on what to get. What does everyone suggest?

Just let it keep growing and never cut or shave it. That way when you're older you'll have a long beard dragging on the ground. Very awesome. ;]

Grow a Jesus beard. Everyone liked Jesus. Well....expect Muslims.

[Cloral]

Grow a Jesus beard. Everyone liked Jesus. Well....expect Muslims.

Or you could grow a Muslim beard. Everyone likes Muslims.
Well....except Jesus.

[Yoshiman]

No idea what to suggest personally, as I think facial hair is the spawn of Satan. But if you grow a beard, for the love of God, keep it groomed and trimmed. No neckbeards or hobo beards.

[phattonez]

No neckbeards or hobo beards.

No worries there. I hate neck hair and I already shaved that off.

[Feasul]

Forget a beard, grow mutton-chops.
Or grow a Will Riker beard, that's what I'm trying to do. Not quite there yet, but it'll get there.

[Dechipher]

Or you could grow a Muslim beard. Everyone likes Muslims.
Well....except Jesus.

But don't grow a Jew beard. No one likes the Jews.

Grow an Amish beard. Do it!

[The Desperado]

Amish beards are creepy. My grandma has Amish neighbors and they sneak over at night and look in her windows. Imagine watching Murder She Wrote, then looking over and seeing a beard like that in the window. Chilling.

Grow a goatee. That way you can stroke it while you laugh evilly.

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree there...


#35. I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look diabolic. Now they just make you look like a disaffected member of Generation X.

...Unless you WANT to look like a dissafected member of Generation X...

Now to be serious, I'm about as uncreative as it gets when it comes to facial hair. I let it grow naturally, then I shave off the 'stache on Wednesday, and I shave the entire hobo beard off Sunday. Rinse and repeat the following week. (I'll occasionally trim the beard throughout the week to give it some shape.)

Try an "extension of your sideburns" kind of beard, and if you don't like it... then refer to my first post in this thread. :p

[DarkDragoonX]

You could always just forgo the beard entirely and grow a Snidely Whiplash moustache. Wax it and twirl it while laughing maniacally. Fun!

Grow it out, and then braid beads into it.

[Zaphod Q. IX]

Grow it out, and then braid beads into it.

A friend of mine named Bob has beads in his beard. On an un-related note, I've started a religion centered around this man. It's Bob-ism. We worship at the keg-o-rater as often as possible. I even have a t-shirt featuring Bob dressed as the pope (Halloween two years ago). The same picture sits atop the keg-o-rater (it's framed). I'm not joking.

Here's my question. How does your beard grow? Everyone has certain spots that won't come in. Also, there is the question of what general style looks good on you...

Are any of these close to what you're shooting for?

That image comes from this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beard) wikipedia article, BTW.

Also, this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_facial_hair) article may prove helpful.

How about grow it out, and see what you're capable of?
I've learned my capabilities.
I'm fond of the chinstrap.

[Archibaldo]

Get a handlebar mustache, then you can twist it while you scheme.

[Icey]

Amish beards are awesome.

If I could, though, I would grow a Baron Davis beard. That thing is awesome.

[MasterSwordUltima]

Heh, I haven't shaved my facial hair in like, forever. I've got the chin and the lining of my jaw up to my sideburns, which really are non-existant. But you can't even tell, because my hair covers it at that part. I kinda resemble Big Boss, only not as thickly worn. No under the chin - neck hair or any of that naturally, therefore I win at genetics.
