Later I used an eyebrow pencil to darken the wispy one I could grow. One day after I was 30 I noticed it was full and looked good. It made me feel sexy and masculine.

I have a thin beard and technically there is a goatee in there and of course there's a moustache on top. It's the holy trinity of facial hair.

I'm coming in quite late on this discussion, but had recently noticed the referers from here in my site statistics. It was about time that beards.org got mentioned in the thread, as the webmaster -- just a web hobbyist -- owns a copy of <i>designing with web standards</i> and designed the entire site based on reading that book. The design is far from perfect, but it's simple and it works. The entire site was valid xhtml 1.0 strict until I added the coppermine photo gallery script, which is valid xhtml 1.0 transitional. There were plenty of times when the css (cobbled together, admittedly) gave me such fits that I had to question why I was going to the trouble to get it all working as valid xhtml using css. Looking back, I still kind of question that, but I'm glad that it pretty much works and it validates! I understand and appreciate the value of web standards and wanted to support the cause, but it was quite frustrating at times. John,

My wife had never seen me without a moustache, and when I emerged from the bathroom with it gone I felt naked in more ways than one.

To compensate. Then when the loss of hair creeps further into ones mind a full beard is needed. Then when the full beard doesn't cut it any more, one would need to backcomb shoulder and back hair to make up for it. I have heard rumor its possible to back comb bum crack hair and stick it to ones head, but this can lead to neck problems. Going bald on top, well a goatee is the way to go. To compensate.

I used to rock the goatee a few years back and a couple years before that I did the Jon B. beard around my jawline thing. Now, I can't rock anything other than the soul patch. It's just my style!
