Can I do anything with this?

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.

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

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!!
