Changed my facial hair yet again...

[sahil15]

I got bored of the goatee... so now trying this... any thoughts?

It's a *tidgy* bit "Ali-G", but suits you!

Looks good, Sahil.  Making changes in facial hair is something we always can do to update our appearance.  I have been intrigued by guys who carve out sections "inside" to goatee, but have avoided it myself due to what I have perceived as high maintenance with a high chance of error shaving in the tight spaces.  What do you think of the maintenance requirements so far?

In the center, you have kept a straight, wide line.  Other styles I have noticed are a narrow line similar to your wide line, or a "V" shape in the soul patch area connected by a narrow line to the chin or sometimes not connected, and another with center section is completely shaved.  Since you like changing your style, you could try these as well.  Since you have good coverage, they would all look good on you.

I have done some trimming myself, but not really a different style.  I am now at about 1 inch in length, down from almost 3 inches.  But since my coverage is sparse in the center goatee area (between the soul patch and chin area, I may experiment with some shaping in this area myself.

Hey Slybeard,

Thanks for your post.... It is quite difficult to maintain this particular facial hair.... it would be easier for people who have a more patchy look... as its hard for me to shave in between the chin area if that makes sense... I will always be going back to the goatee because its more mainstream and some what easier to maintain...

I think you look really good with the bear trimmed... very distinguished... i think its a keeper.... but hey you should still experiment... it will always grow back if you don't like it.... thats the least I can say for the hair on my head... lol

Looks very smart! Good choice mate!

Looking good; like the new look on both of you, Sahil and Slybeard!

That's a pretty cool new look you've got going on, I don't think I could maintain that personally. I'm not good with fiddly facial hair... haha. But you certainly rock the look!

I dig it!  I wish I had enough facial hair to do interesting things.  I just have two patches on my chin with a line between them

I could see you growing it out and gel/waxing it into 2 points, that would be very interesting!

Thank you Hingatao, leigh, sir harry, Adamski, Beardman and smoothsailing...

You are most welcome!

I always have considered this but never have patience to make it two months. Now that I have plenty of hair to shave I shoulfld be able to wait it out

This is the great thing about facial hair - there are endless possibilities. It's work in progress never a final result.
