Should it stay or should it go(atee)?

[-Doug-]

Hey fellas! I was wondering if I could get some opinions on my current facial hair. I'm thinking of taking the beard down to a Van Dyke style. Thoughts?


(Sorry for the craptastic quality of the picutre)

I'd say leave it, I'm hoping my beard grows in as full as that one day.

Another vote to retain the full beard--it gives a good definition to your jawline.  And, another point--great shine on the dome, really great shine .

Keep it as is and, though you didn't ask, the glasses actually make you look better and balance the beard.

I'm with the others. Looks great as is. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it

Thanks for all the opinions! I think it will stay intact for now.

I generally keep my glasses on unless I'm doing outdoorsy type of stuff. Not sure why I took them off for the picture.

Good choice...

full beard.

I like the beard, but I like it better trimmed short as it is in your avatar.

The beard looks good, keep it.

[seanmil666]

Keep the beard.

[The Noggin]

Van Dyke.

Keep the beard but bring it down short as you have it in your avatar.   To my eye the stubbly beard is a great summer look.  And I agree on the prior comment about your glasses.  And that is a great shine - do anything special for it?

I took it down to the length in my avitar. Feels much bett that way.

No.  Actually I use the matte HeadLube. But my naturally oily scalp usually wins out and I end up with the shine by the afternoon.

Since this is the longest period of time that I've had facial hair curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to see what  Van Dyke would look like. Here's the results...



I'm thinking that I'll keep the 'stach fairly trimmed (about what it is now) but let the bottom half grow out/down a bit.
