Can I do anything with this?

[-Doug-]

I trimmed the beard I was growing down to a goatee. The thing is I suck at shaping and don't think this looks quite right. Can it be salvaged? Any advice or opinions would be appreciated.

It looks fine, I'm no expert at beards considering i cant grow one. But my dad has a goatee shaped like that and the only person who notices it is him.

Looks fine as is Doug.  Just don't stare so much in the mirror and you won't notice any flaws.  "Face" it ... you have positive bald head attitude regardless of facial hair.  Although ... you can always take it down to a chin strap or try adding soul patch to what you currently have or shave it all and just wear a soul patch.  Hehe ... all these facial hair possibilities ... isn't bald really beautiful ?

It looks fine to me, but I think we always see the imperfections that others don't especially when it comes to trimming, shaping, etc.  You may want to go to a barber and have them shape it up a little.  It probably won't be noticeable to anyone else but if it makes you feel better about it, it's well worth it.

How high is it on your cheeks ?  Is it the lightening ?  Sorry bro. need a better shot , but doesn't appear you have damaged anything

   Looks great bro. , but would bring the sides down a wee bit at a time from the mouth !  But looks great  .  Please post another pic..  Looking Good!  I like the no stash !  Everyone has a full goat !   Really shows the thinking man  .

I think it looks fine like that, Doug.

Doug I think it looks good the way it is. You have good thickness there. I have the goatee and moustache but if I was having just the goat that would be the shape. Nice look for one of our new moderators!

I'm sorry, I keep distracted by the face you are pulling. I think it looks cool the way it is, if you wanted to make it more of a traditional goatee you could trim the sides of your mouth down to below your lips. But I think it works the way it is. Just run with it and make it your own mate, at the end of the day it is you that has to be happy, just as with the shaved head

Haha! I hate taking self portraits for the very reason

Thanks for the comments guys.

Doug I do not see any problem at all it looks good for you though but if it is  bothering you do what some of the other guys suggested

[Lynchy]

Looks good Doug, I like it!

[Magoo]

Looks fine as is Doug,but I like the full beard better on you.What you like counts the most.

[Sir Harry]

Looks good, Doug! I like your creativity! I don't know if I'm ready to give up my beard just yet but I am now down to a chinstrap again.

Without a mustache joining that goat, you look like a member of the Amish Mafia!!
