Men: Can you grow a full beard?

I had a nice thick full beard for quite a while, 18 years old I think. It definitely made me look like a terrorist though 😀
 
I could grow a goatee in about 3 days flat since I was 18. I couldn't get it to come in thick on the sides of my face until I was in my late 20's. I can do a full beard in under week now (29).

I'm 24 and I can't yet grow a full beard. Neither can most of my male friends who are the same age. Growing up, I figured I'd be able to grow a full beard by my early twenties, but it's still not in sight. Just curious to see when most men are able to grow a beard. If you're male, please vote in the poll.

Thanks

The fact that you're 24, I think you can take "yet" out of your sentance. If you can't do it by then, you ain't doin' it.

Me on the other hand, I can grow a full beard on any part of my body. It's really sad 🙁
 
I'm 21 and can't. I barely have any facial hair, it just started coming in a bit more this past year. Still, it's pretty thin and just covers the mouth area. I'kk never have those '70s sideburns🙁.

I disagree. I didn't start growing facial hair (other than a thin "Indian moustache") until I was in my 40's...
 
I'm 19 and I can grow a decent beard, but I cannot grow a mustache at all. All I get is a white trashy looking pedo-stache.

That's hair migration. Hair moves south after 35 or so.

I can grow a full beard in 3-4 days. Been like that since I was about 18-19. I never needed a fake ID.

I didn't need ID until I became of age. Once I hit 19 (legal for all in Canada) they started asking for ID.

From your head. You think all that hair just fell out?
 
I can. But I don't. I have to stave everyday to stay clean and it sucks but i'd rather do that then have a beard. Beards always itch.
 
I went to Austria for 6 weeks when I was 17 and completely forgot my razor, while I was there I grew my first beard, it was completely white and blended into my face, I called it my "invisibeard" In my senior photo in highschool I have a full half inch goatee, that you can't see unless you look very close. I shave about every week now and I have a goatee, I look good with stubble so I have a goatee with slow growing stubble on it. My mustache is still very light but my beard has darkened over time. I am 23 now.
 
I'm 19 and I only get stuff growing under my chin (not really under my lip), under my side burns, and a little bit under my nose, but nothing close to growing a full beard at the moment.
 
25, right now. Maybe I could, but it would probably be a bit patchy. It would also have numerous areas of gray.

I can now, but not for much longer.


I'm having it lasered.

I would almost kill to have that done, I'm almost convinced I have to shave twice a day. I had a lot of people call me Sasquatch growing up. Mine started about 15-16 years old.

SHAVING BITES!!!
 
full beard ... sometimes i grow one when I get lazy for like 6 - 12 months. wife likes it, so that's cool.

could grow it at ~14.

as others have mentioned, never needed a fake ID, but then, I also wouldn't have used it (didn't drink etc. til the legal age).
