Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > Beards

What to do?

<< < (2/9) > >>

Rusty Shackleford:
I was curious to see if you had a "before" and possibly bearded picture here and I found that you have another thread entitled Well Men...http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=8684.msg151594#msg151594 where you have two photos of yourself with a beard and severely sliced up head (you need to rethink shaving your head with a pocket knife)

Hope you don't mind but I'm linking the photos here since it's relevant to this thread.  You already posted them so I'm assuming you won't mind:



Seriously, did you need a transfusion after this shave?  :)



That's a damn good beard and you ought to give it another chance.  You have really wide sideburns too.  You have it trimmed and outlined really well.  I like the outline you shaved under your ears where you gave it a nice curve.  One of the reasons I grew my last beard was because I wanted to give that outlining a shot and I thought it looked better than letting my beard grow as it wanted out beyond my ear.  But in the end it still had to go! 

So what happened, did someone give you grief over the bald head / beard combo look or something?

BaldnBearded:
No haven't gottenany grief.I'm just still not 100% confident being bald and I think being bald and full bearded is a pretty appearence altering look.Especially considering I'd like to grow my beard to an inch or two in length for the winter.I'm just afraid of rocking the look.Kinda feel like the bald bearded look isn't gonna have the girls flocking either.And as for the sliced up head, that was back in January, it was my first time ever shaving my head.Haha I definitly butchered it, but I'm real good at shaving it now

TheSlyBear:
Go for it, I say.

D.A.L.U.I.:
Full beard w/ a shaved head, why not???  Sometimes you just have to see a whole lot of examples, each a different beard to get comfortable w/ something that works for you.  I suggest you visit beards.org and look at their galleries.  There will be something there that you may like or you can see a version that, adapted to your face, beard density, etc., works for you.  
I've had full beards, but that's before the mpb hit full steam.  I steered away from a full one because for me, personally, I couldn't figure out a way to end the beard and begin the shaved head.  Your slanted treatment at the ears is interesting.  I decided to do the extended goatee, and I feel it works for me.  But all these things come back to what the guys have already said.  It's you, and what works for you and that you're happy with--it's just you.

Go for the full beard.  It looks cool ...
