A) How long is your current beard? (measure from the tip of your chin to the end
of your
longest whisker) 9 inches when brushed.

B) How long have you been growing your current beard? I've had a beard for
almost 35 years but started to let it grow without trimming since September
2005.

C) How long do you think your beard will grow? (guess it's terminal length) I
hope it gets to at least 12 to 14 inches. It grows thicker more quickly than in
length.

D) Describe your fantasy beard (the one you'd grow if you had the right genetics
or a
magic potion.) It was dark brown but now almost totally white. My fantasy beard
would be a thick Auburn or dark red, 14 inches long or longer.

I attach some pics:

Subject: [Growing Long Beards ] Beard survey


It's been quiet for the past week, so I thought I'd liven things up a bit with a
beard survey.

A) How long is your current beard? (measure from the tip of your chin to the end
of your
longest whisker)

B) How long have you been growing your current beard?

C) How long do you think your beard will grow? (guess it's terminal length)

D) Describe your fantasy beard (the one you'd grow if you had the right genetics
or a
magic
potion.)

Here are my answers:

A) longest whisker 17 3/4 inches

B) I've been trying to reach terminial length since 1986. I've had a few set
backs along the
way. My current growth dates back to 2003.

C) At one point my beard was almost 28 inches long. I figure it still had
several more
inches left in it. Therefore I guess my terminal could be around 32-33 inches.

D) My fantasy beard would be burnt orange/ red in color. It would be amazingly
thick,
enormously wide (well past my shoulders), would cover all of my cheek area to
just bellow
my eyes. It would be fifty plus feet in length, and would continue to grow at
the rate of 6
inches per month.
