I've had a beard almost the entire time since it sprouted. Briefly shaved for a few weeks because I was curious and realized it was horribly difficult my genetics make it to stay clean shaven. I'd grow stubble back at the end of the day.
I have big hairy men in my family none of them could go beardless. I'm just glad I didn't inherit the back and upper arm hair.
O just you wait. I didn't have back hair for the first 35 years of my life. Now that shit is everywhere 😭
That's... normal? Do you know the term "five o'clock shadow"?
Yup, it's just more pronounced, much thicker. Guess I should have said it takes me a couple weeks to get a beard length to where it takes other people a couple months? But I didn't think it was necessary?
But since you're just chiming in to be picky. Men do grow beards at different speeds, mine is on the higher end is what I'm implying.
Average beard hair growth = ~0.3–0.5 mm per day, but some men’s can be as low as 0.2 mm/day and others 0.6 mm/day or more.
A fast grower can have visible stubble by the evening (5 o’clock shadow).
A slow grower might take 2–3 days before stubble is obvious.
