7 Things I Learned While Keeping A Beard

Blogoratti July 07, 2015

Quote of the day:

 A man with a beard was always a little suspect anyway. You couldn't say you wore a beard because you liked a beard. People didn't like you for telling the truth. You had to say you had a scar so you couldn't shave. -John Steinbeck

I wondered why lately, I've been getting a lot of questions concerning my beard. And as I sat to write this post, my mind wandered to a scene that played out a few months back -and a memorable one at that. You see, I was practically stopped in public by a gentleman who complemented my beard and then proceeded to start a conversation, no scratch that -a question and answer session, not only about how long had I grown it for, but also he asked for grooming and product tips.

Ten minutes later, and after a healthy discussion- or so it seemed, about grooming and whatnot (totally awkward for me, but hey there's a first time for everything right?), I went on my way. And afterwards I thought -well that was a quite random moment. As it turns out, that was the defining moment.

So here are the top 7 things I've learned while keeping a beard.

1. A beard is a great conversation starter. Ever been too shy to talk to people first? Well there you go, thank me later.

2. The first 3-6 months are the hardest. Its going to itch a lot during this period. If you can win this battle, then its smooth sailing from there.

3. It makes you look older. Self explanatory.

4. Random people will ask about your grooming habits.  For example, do not be surprised when a shop assistant asks you how long it took for it to grow, and what grooming tips you can offer -all these while you are at the check out point.

5. Some will question why you are growing a beard, some will hate it, but most will love it. Again, self explanatory really.

6. Grooming is key. With time you will learn what products work for you, and what doesn't. Keeping it neat and tidy is always a plus. Not a mean feat I'd say, but well worth the effort.

7. Some will assume you are religious. Again, self explanatory.


If don't have a beard that's fine. If you are out there with a beard -or thinking of growing one (I've had mine for about 2 years), all I can say is keep growing!

    Interesting read today. Being a girl I can't grow one but I'd always wondered how it felt. Like a lot of weight on your lower face? I didn't realize so many men had the same questions too.

    Interesting. I can imagine that stroking one would be quite therapeutic. Actually I like beards, well most of them, plus they are very fashionable now. The ones I don't like are the ones that grow untended until they almost reach the waist.

    A beard IS an important accessory it seems? Much more thought goes into it than just not shaving. Never thought about this before.... And I have to admit a good beard, just as a good cigar or a good cognac, pleases me.

    Hello,Blogoratti,
    It is interesting. A beard is one thing for men, but could it just be a Western thing? There are not so many Asian men who have beard. The sweltering weather in summer may make men gives up growing beards...? I wonder.

    I can relate to this post! I have a beard, and suddenly, women are telling me how much they like it and they're encouraging me to keep it. I was just talking to a woman who was telling me about the type of hair oils her husband uses for his beard.

    I like (need) the attention, so yes I will keep it as well.

    It's OK if you've got a 'proper' beard (what I grew up calling a Naval full set) but some of these silly excuses for a line along the chin - or ridiculous tufts that look like someone's swallowed a paintbrush - look just horrible.

    The first thing I thought when I saw your blog was about beards was a line from a Marx Brothers movie. A tall man with a very pointy beard walks up to Groucho Marx and stands over him looking down and Groucho said, "Don't point that thing at me. It might go off!"

I imagine growing one would be very itchy and scratchy, but after that ok. And you get really lovely products now for putting on the face for beards. You suit one very much :) Wish you a lovely day!

    That reminds me of my brother inlaw, he has a big moustache growing over his upper lip when he's not paying enough attention to it. He eats soup always twice. First with the spoon and then he sucks all leftovers out from his moustache.
    I think everyone can imagine that I certainly do not envy my sister for him :))

    How odd that a beard should evoke such interest. I've had one for so long I don't remember life without it - but it's never to my knowledge been a source of much fascination, particularly (sadly) female fascination.

    My husband had a beard when I met him and had it for years and years. One day while we were doing a jigsaw puzzle he left without saying a word and came back with his beard gone.
    WOW what a surprise that was. I liked his beard and was sorry when he shaved it off. His reason for shaving it off is that he thought it made him look older.

    My husband had a beard for many years after he turned 40. He couldn't grow one until then. My brother, on the other hand, could grow one in three days and would often use that fact in jest with my husband. We all got a good laugh out it.

    Heh. I have had a beard for the last --- well, as long as I could grow one - in some form or fashion. And I can not argue with this at all. And my wife enjoys it too.

    People who don't like beards don't like a lot of other things!

    I'm a big advocate for the beard gang, I love guys who keep em. I'm the person who works up to a guy with a beard and starts the conversation. Two years, that's amazing.

    Reading this post, I couldn't help but think how very similar grooming a beard is like grooming my natural hair.

    Regardingit quadrupling handsomeness, this makde me smile. I've been told more times how good looking I am with this beard, and everytime I think I'm tired of it, I think about the compliments. So I don't shave it. I'll keep it until I have a face-to-face job interview.
