The definition of a yeard is one year of untrimmed facial hair , the standard rule that a beard must be grown without modification for a minimum of 365 days. The neck line may be trimmed at the adam’s apple and in a line equally distant from the jaw line. Moustache trimming is allowed by highly discouraged. Pictorial verification is required.

My journey started a few months ago, I have never grown a beard before and decided I wanted to try it. At first I lasted a couple of weeks and then trimmed my beard. I have now officially started my process, I have not trimmed in past 2 weeks, I will wait for another 2 weeks. I will have my 30 day trim in the 1st week of July 2018

See photo of what i look like today. I am using beard oil and beard balm. I have a boar’s hair brush and a few combs. I shower in the morning, then pat dry my beard with a towel and apply the beard oil or balm. The first few weeks have been patchy , itchy and frustrating.
