Epic Beard Again?

[marshd1000]

Well, I should say that after about 3 years of no trims, I have finally trimmed the beard down.  It seems that it had hit terminal length of about a foot for the longest strands.  But the beard was doing a strange “fork” thing.  I really didn’t care for that look!  So I got a nice tasteful trim.  The beard is still long but doesn’t look ratty now!  So here’s the before and after!

Looks a lot tidier.

Looks good.  the trim job makes the beard look thicker and makes you look just a bit more "stylish".

Awesome... I noticed you shaved your head, too.

I agree with @Semi-Sly your beard looks thicker with the trim.

I get to terminal length, and it's like six hairs at the end. At some point... it looks better, shorter.

Yep, indeed, the head is shaved again!!  When I started shaving my head, I was not terribly bald.  I had a bit of recession.  I was balding but still had a bit of hair left.  So in the past few years, I had occasionally grown out the fringe for a short time to see how naturally bald I was.  I had never gone beyond two months in terms of growth.  So I had wanted to experience being a naturally MPB man.  I had even thought of growing out a ponytail!  But the sly look kept calling me!  I think I look good with MPB but I think I look better Sly!

Looks good @marshd1000

I also start getting the fork when I allow more length.  While at one time I was on a quest for growing as long as I could (terminal), it just does not look good on me with the few strands that actually get long combined with the fork.  Now, I keep it trimmed just shorted than the length where the fork normally starts for me.  You are blessed to still have substantial length after the trim.

Looking good Marsh! I really like your newly shaved head. I'll get it feels great to be smooth again. It's a much cleaner look.

@marshd1000 the trim looks great and so does the freshly shaved head!

I admire your moustache also; it adds style. And I think that you look younger with your head shaved and your beard, than with the MPB fringe and the beard.

Tyler, I hope that this summer we can have a pic together with our Sly domes!  I am hoping to be in the Bay Area!

@marshd1000 I look forward to it!
