ok after another thread of reading talk of 15 to 18 inch beards. i starting droolling over the thought of it lol so i thought i would just open up a beard trophy thread. so post um up. and ill kick it off..

i picked 6 of what i feel is my better beards from the way the pic is from the closest to you the fist two are 11 1/4 inches long the next is 11" the on the othe side of the ruler is 10 1/2 then 10 1/4 (with one hair at 10 1/2 lol) and the last at 10" ( and of corse my mesurements are going off of me holding the beards out completly straight the ruler is mearly just for a close refrance for the pic)

I think this one may be my best, but I'm not sure. I don't really measure all of them. I took this pic from a thread I started in this forum.
