Sorry ladies, but I guess this is just a men's topic here haha! Unless you want to weigh in, too. But anyway, I was just wondering what most people do. I'm only 17, but I have a full beard. It started when I was 13 and was made to shave to look 'presentable' in the Army Cadets. My colour sargeant actually gave me the razor himself, even though I only had probably about 5 little hairs on my upper lip, and after then it became a habit until I left, and by that time most of my face was growing hair. I did Movember in 2011 when I was 15, and people in my school said after I should see how much I can grow a full beard - seeing as it was the one thing that I don't think any students had, and it was allowed in our school. So I did, and after a month or so of growing a full beard, I tried to get served alcohol and managed to get away with it, so it stayed for a while. When I was 16 I got it trimmed at the barbers which I now get done every other week, they do a nice job of shaping and trimming it for only an extra 2 pound to my haircut, so yeah didn't plan on telling the story of my beard but seeing as I'm fairly young, it's pretty legendary in my circle of friends, we don't know anybody as young as me to have one. I still don't, so I'm wondering did any of you grow it out from young? Or do you clean shave or what? You don't have to tell the story of your beard, but do if you want
