Literature on the importance of beards for a true man?
Also, what is this style of beard called and how long does it take to grow? Looking for instructional books on the subject.

>Leviticus 19:27 - 'You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard.'
>Leviticus 21:5 - 'They shall not make any baldness on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts in their flesh.'
>Judges 16:17 - 'So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her, "A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man."'

Do I just let it grow without shaving? What about the neck?

At first you should just let it grow and don't cut anything above your Adam's apple. A lot of people make the mistake of trimming too high on their neck and eventually their beard doesn't look full because of it.

Once it is a decent length have it trimmed by a barber so you get an idea of how to do it properly.

A man without a beard is like a man without a foreskin, hardly a man at all.

Now even though anyone in his right mind should have been able to conclude without difficulty from my haggard and famished appearance and my tattered clothes that I had not run away from a cookshop or from a lady’s boudoir, much less from some great lord’s retinue, I was nevertheless rigorously interrogated at the watch. And while the soldiers were gawking at me, I for my part was looking at the bizarre appearance of their officer, whose questions I was obliged to answer. I knew not whether he was a he or a she, for he wore his hair and beard in the French fashion: on each side he had long braids hanging down like a horse’s tail, and his beard had been so wretchedly abused and so mutilated that between his nose and his mouth there were only some few hairs coming out which were so short that one could scarce see them. No less did his wide breeches put me into no slight doubt concerning his sex, since they were to my eyes much more like a woman’s skirt than a pair of man’s breeches. I thought to myself: “If this be a man, then he ought to have a true beard, because this fop is no longer as young as he pretends to be. But if it be a woman, then why does the old whore have so much stubble around her mouth? Surely it is a woman,” I thought, “for no honorable man would ever let his beard be so wretchedly mistreated; even rams are so greatly ashamed when their beards are clipped that they will not set foot a-mongst a strange flock.” And since I was still in doubt and knew not what the current fashion was, in the end I took him to be a man and a woman at the same time.

How do I make sure that my beard does not look onions? I'm pretty manly myself and will start working out soon, but I have seen onions beards even on otherwise chad-like males.

I would go for a longer, thicker and less trimmed version of this. However, I can't grow decent facial hair.
