The craziest thing I've done with mine is let it grow out some. When the ends started curling back, I knew I needed to continue keeping it short. I look forward to other people's stories, though.

I grew my beard out for 1 year and 4 months. I started my first day of terminal leave from the Navy and grew it until last November.

Andrew Bennett posted a discussionThe death of neck ties?
I heard that according to researches that the neck tie is expected to become obsolete in the next few decades. Because more and more men are dressing more casually these days thanks to Facebook and google where the CEO shows up in jeans and a hoodie. So is the neck tie really becoming obsolete or are men just not caring about his personal appearance?Please feel free to give your taken on this.See More
