Here's my ugly mug. I normally keep it about 3/4" long, but it about 1.5" long right now. That's all this months growth, too, because I trimmed it up for Halloween... .
Well, my hair was down past my ears till about 2 weeks ago. The beard with that much hair was getting to be too much to handle. When I've got a good beard going I usually trim up top like it is now.
You should have seen me when I was up in Alaska doing regulatory work on fishing boats. I had a beard that made that picture above seem sissy in comparison... I'll try to dig up the pic once I get home.
