What to do with my beard?

[RobW85]

I've always had long hair and a fairly thick beard. Shaved my head and not quite sure what to do with my beard...

I definitely want to keep my beard. I don't think I want a Van Dyke - I tried that a couple times over the past decade (when I had hair) and I just never liked how it looked on my face.

But I'm thinking I should trim it up and clean it up a lot.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I think what you've got going now is pretty cool looking.

Especially if you can't use a razor (as posted in other thread), shaving the cheeks clean probably isn't an option for you.

Definately keep it--try not shaving below the ears--full beard, sly head--a great combo.

I agree with Bear... you've already got a cool thing going on.

I would say you should keep the beard!  Or course I would think that since I have a full beard and sly noggin!  But it does look good on you!

You will find lots of help about beard styles.

full beard + shaved head.

Thanks guys.

I'll keep the beard for now. I didn't intend to shave the sideburns off (below the ear) but the 'accidental' cut that got this all started took out part of the sideburn, and halfway up the ear looked silly. I'll try growing that back in and see how it looks.

I agree. Keep the beard.

Full beards are great if well maintained (no neck beard or unshaved sections), but you look like you could rock a mean fu-manchu.

Be growing my facial hair for a week now. Previously shaved clean after 1-3 days. Not sure about having the furry feeling across my face.

It's like my whole head's an activity centre: smooth dome to rub and whiskers to play with around my mouth.
