Bloody 'ell Frank, if she worked round the corner from me I'd be in there for a shave every day!

Oh and well done mate! ;D

 Looking good Frank, the wind will blow a little colder for a few days.

         Too bad, about the shave, Frank. But, at least you had a good looking barber!

        Hope you don't get frostbite, before you get some coverage again.  ;) Pretty cool that you did that though, gotta say. :)

Bravo! My dad shaves his beard once every 10 years or so. Still weirds me out to see him shorn. You too.

Good job Frank. Don't feel too bad, the old beard was worn out and faded anyway..........maybe the new one will have some color in it!

Many moons ago I shaved mine and had a guy at work ask if I had ALL THOSE CHINS when I first grew it.

My new build..
____________________________________________________________________________________
I'm somewhat surprised at how good you look clean-shaven Frank (no really!). Takes years off your white beard look.  Maybe..as others have suggested here..you could add a little color to the re-growth? LOL!

However..as I write here..I'm keenly aware that I personally prefer a bearded look (I also add a little "Just for men" to my beard every month or two). Having a wife 14 years my junior..the salt & pepper look seems less obvious as to age difference..than the Santa Clause look..me thinks.

Take care Bro.  Please post pics after the new growth looks presentable..

Frank, you have managed to grow a full beard in less than 6 weeks?  Pretty good job.

lol found out I'm 16 percent middle eastern, none of that has gone toward beard coverage and all of it has gone towards pubic hair looking facial growth. I have just enough white trash for it to be spotty.

I rock the goatee and sideburns because the hair just doesn't want to fill in around my dimples.

I've been waiting ever since puberty.

ya I hear you... this photo was almost 2 weeks of not shaving... my GF took it to show me my "beard".  she has little tolerance for facial hair.  fortunately for her, me I am incapable having it  :-[

Good job, Frank!  I'm sure that was a huge commitment to follow through on!  Luckily it looks like you have the ability to regrow a full beard in a fortnight  :o
