Men: Can you grow a full beard?

[EpsiIon]

I'm 24 and I can't yet grow a full beard. Neither can most of my male friends who are the same age. Growing up, I figured I'd be able to grow a full beard by my early twenties, but it's still not in sight. Just curious to see when most men are able to grow a beard. If you're male, please vote in the poll.

Thanks

i could probably have around 15 1/2. i dunno how you define "beard" but its pretty long if i don't shave for ~10 days

Be grateful. Shaving thick hair every day is a pain in the ass. Yes, I can grow a full beard there also.

I can grow a full beard in 3-4 days. Been like that since I was about 18-19. I never needed a fake ID.

I didn't need ID until I became of age. Once I hit 19 (legal for all in Canada) they started asking for ID.

Yeah, I realize. And I'm grateful that I don't have the sandpaper some of my friends have.

I just wish my facial hair would stop sitting on the fence. Either stop growing or grow enough so that I can experiment with it. This half-hearted growing is an annoyance with no real options.

i'm 16, and I don't really get a beard but it's certainly rough at the end of the day.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

Nope and I'm 26.

I can and I'm 20 right now, could at 18. That means full beard with no spots. Luckily, I'm not hairy elsewhere. I'm slavic btw.

i am 17 and while i can't grow a full beard, i do shave every now and then. i do have facial hair, but it never get's very long before it just irritates me.

I'm 25 and I can't grow anywhere near to a full beard. I have patches under my chin, and my sideburns barely grow in at all. I pretty much grow a white trash stache, and I only have to shave once a week. I don't mind though, because shaving every day would be hell.

I can grow a full beard, but I don't. I usually have about 3-5 days growth, neatly trimmed, at any one time.

Shaving sucks! :thumbsdown:

you said it brother, I get a pretty full beard in about 2-4 days, it started coming in when I was a sophmore in HS back in 96 and I'm now 26.

I can get a decent goatee, but it takes awhile, mustache area just grows about halfway, never been able to wait it out for more than a week or so to see if its going to go anywhere, but thats it. 25

I have way too much teepee-creeper in my ancestry to grow a nice full beard. Surprisingly, aboout 10 years ago, (for some reason) I started growing facial hair. While it never gets to be a "full beard", but if I let it grow, it covers the face, although it's still VERY thin.....kind of an "Indian beard"...there's a-patchy over here, a-patchy over there.....

 

[Flyback]

I can grow one hell of a sick neck beard (but not the other kind)

 

[Otaking]

Nope I can't grow a beard. I have to shave every day or every 2 days, but after that, I look pretty scraggly, and I look more like an ungroomed high schooler than anything else if I let it grow. Ugh.

 

[FoBoT]

if my beard was white and i was wearing a red suit, i would look like my avatar

 

[Juno]

lol, i'm 23 and i haven't developed a beard yet.

 

[Safeway]

I have beard-like hair that gets maybe 1/2" long, but it takes a really long time. I'm 22.

They let you back? :Q

I'm on my first beard attempt right now. It's been 3 weeks I guess? It doesn't look too bad, but it's not all thick and bushy or anything.

 

[secretanchitman]

i was 14-15...not kidding. just give me 4-5 days and i can do it.

not even joking.

 

[GeekDrew]

I was (occasionally) wearing a full beard at 16... not sure how much before that I could have grown one.

 

[everman]

With all of my Russian blood I can practically will the beard into existence.

 

[n7]

Yeah i can, but i don't.

Usually only shave once or maybe twice a week, so it's pretty long by the time i do, but i've never fully grown it out.
