I knew beard talk would ignite responses
My brothers all had beards or moustaches, not my father though, so I take after him I suppose
I just couldn't stop pulling it, tried beard balm but that didn't seem to help
then it got long enough to get caught up in scarves or zips
not the trouser type though

if I went full beard I'd scratch myself to death like I'd been wrapped up in glass fibre wool (did that as a kid
)

very cool even patina there, was that forced or natural? Did mustard help?

Often wondered about beards and masks then with glasses as well, tricky... During World War 1 when gassing each other became a favoured method...I think beard wearing became less popular with soldiers having to wear those terrible masks helmets. In the British Empire armies beards were not allowed (Indian army excepted) nor I think in US forces but the Germans, Russians and French all allowed soldiers to be bearded.
