    Guess if your beard is long and you have to cut it off, you could like tie it in a ponytail first, then lop it. That way you can just carry it around in your belt like a scalp.

    I haven't seen what's under my beard in about 12 years. My first wife hated the beard, so I guess it started about two years before we ended, lol. I realy couldn't imagine myself without it now. The vast majority of the people with whom I currently associate have never seen me wihout it.

    I must have gotten the wrong memo...I thought it was shaved heads and kilts.

    What's that got to do with beards?
    Where I live now, only my wife has seen me without a beard. I haven't seen my chin in 15 years. And I'm okay with that. And I've run the gamut from hair halfway down my back to shaved and everywhere in between. When I don't shave or get haircuts, I tell her to think of how much money I'm saving!!
    (I think she knows it's just because I'm lazy, though...)

    The kilt grew on me far faster than the beard did, so I'm glad I started the beard first. One advantage of a full beard is that no one can tell that I don't ever wear neckties anymore.

    That's my plan. The fabric is supposed to arrive today.

    Edit: It DID arrive today! I had no idea that FedEx could deliver through the USPS on a Saturday. Woo Hoo! Now I get to learn how to don a great kilt. Where did I leave my belt?
