I’m at I think 1.5” length. I am very goblin mode and have just been letting everything grow out as much as possible.

Sensory issues compel me to wash my beard with soap every time I enter the shower - this is currently the 3-in-1 old spice, which I imagine strips oil. I have taken to drowning my face in old Amish oil, which seems to be an effective counter.

I work in a profession which will tolerate and appreciate things like beading, which I feel would be more feasible in an inch or so? Any tips on the hobby would be appreciated.

Really the question is - I want to have an extremely lengthy and healthy beard. What do I do to not look like a gross neckbeard, to convey less “this is long because I’m too lazy to do anything about it” but more “I love this thing and will actually maintain a routine for it.” I would like to at some point be a mall Santa. I want to lock in. Pretend you are my dad for a minute.

    I’m not really sure you can do anything to force length if that’s what you’re going for. Just gotta let it grow. And not everyone’s hair will grow super long. I haven’t cut my hair since I was 19 and it’s never gotten longer than just past my shoulders. My beard grows to about 3 inches but only directly on my chin (so a goatee really looks like a goat’s).

    Now to get it white, you can dye it. Or you can just put yourself in stressful situations and get it white naturally. A bad marriage did it for mine.
