Asked for a photo for the library bulletin, he supplied one showing himself with a thick stubble - a look I had not heretofore seen.

But now he could feel that his beard had sprouted into a thick stubble, and he saw the same on other faces.

His cheeks and chin showed a thick, dark stubble of beard.

He rubbed at the thick stubble of his cheek tentatively.

There were heavy shadows under his eyes, a thick dark stubble on his broad chin.

He had not shaved, dirt from the stopes clung in the thick black stubble of beard.

He had not shaved in days; thick stubble covered his jaws and was salted with the same white as his hair.

The rest of the wide face was yellowish except where a thick black stubble covered the moist skin.

I ran my fingers over the thick stubble on my chin.

His light-brown stubble, always thick and vigorous, was fast approaching the status of a beard.
