My Bearded Man

My dear sweet husband has been on vacation for over a month now. After being in the military for just under 8 years he had the itch to let his facial hair grow. I have let him have his time, but he announced last night that the beard was going to go away. He knows that I prefer a clean shaved face. I wanted him to enjoy his time off though. Below are pictures of the shaving process. Turns out there is an American Mustache Institute. You can check it out online if you are looking for facial hair style. Another useful website is beards.org. Facial hair is a lot more technical then I ever thought. Which look do you prefer on my man?
(I'm not joking about the names of these looks.....they are true and official.)

Traditional Beard


Goatee
The horseshoe...often confused with the Fu Manchu.
Classic Chevron
 My cleaned shaved man!

    I am also laughing hysterically that you have done so much research on "facial hair". You are a hoot!

    Bethany- The full beard looks good on him, but it makes my face itch!

    Lauren- Ross did all the research on the beards...not me!=)

    My personal favorite thing on "THE" website is the success stories... WOW... Some people take beards WAY too seriously. I'll be checking back often for Ross' success story. Why aren't his pictures in the gallery?!?!?!?!

    BWA-HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I laughed my head off when I got to the "classic Chevron" because that's what my dad has and it makes him look just like I remember my dad looking when I was a kid. That said, I think he looks great with a full beard, and the secret to having them not be scratchy is to let them grow long and use conditioner on it. Seriously.
    I also am laughing because I could explain the difference between a fumanchu and horseshoe to my DH without looking it up!
