Questions I often hear about The Beard.

Q: Does it itch? 
A: Yes like any hair it does itch on occasion. But with proper care it no worse than the occasional itch I feel on my head. I use Head and shoulders on my beard about once a month, it helps a lot with itchiness,

Q: You gonna shave that in the summer/is that uncomfortable in the heat?A: No.  I currently live in South Texas where summertime averages 102 in the shade and It doesn't seem to change how hot it feels. It actually helps keep sweat flowing off my face, which should cool me off better. whether it does or not is debatable.

Q: is it soft?A: Most of the Time Yes its very soft. I Brush/comb,condition etc. I like to have a Beard my wife wants to touch and snuggle with. Though I have noticed exposure to cement dust makes it very coarse. This happened to me last week while having some work done on my home.  Very gross feel. I used my go to Moisturizing conditioner to fix it up.

Q: Do you watch Duck Dynasty?A: I have. Its not a "bad" show and I like the family values shown. But, I am getting tired of hearing about it. I've had a full beard since way before that show and it has nothing to do with them. I am polite to the occasional person who shouts duck dynasty at me from across a parking lot, But I would prefer it to stop.


If you have any questions, comments, etc Please email me and I'll post an answer by this evening.

I had a very busy day so i'll just post an observation. It is not OK to compliment my beard while I'm standing at a urinal. This breaks so many rules I won't even try to list them. Just very awkward, please don't do it. 


Here's another  Beard Prove
It is merry in hall when beards wag all.
--French Proverb

Over the years of growing my facial hair I have learned many life lessons from The Beard.

Patience:    This is an obvious one. I have learned to wait for good things to come about in their own time. Some things just can't be rushed.


Tolerance:    Sometimes The Beard gets itchy or very unkempt looking. It can be like a nagging neighbor, pushy boss or that guy that cut you off on the way to work. You have to learn to see things from another point of view.My beard just needs conditioning or a good brushing, its trying to communicate. That naggy neighbor thinks their being helpful, Your boss just wants the company to do good, and that guy driving crazy... Maybe he's heading to the hospital for the birth of a child. 


Perseverance:   Following through, despite setbacks will reward you greatly in life. 

The Joy of making new friends:  Everywhere I go people ask about The Beard. This leads to conversations with people I never would have had a chance to learn about. New friends are awesome! whether the friendship lasts a lifetime or just while you're in the checkout line.

these are just a few of the Lessons from The Beard.
