Hey guys :)
I was at the barber today.. First of all she was very stunned by my look.. I lost confidence in her very fast.. And when she started trimming it did get worse.. However I am quite pleased with the result.. Let me know what you think.. :)

Jawline beard and pencil thin chinstrap/goutee looks great ! Wished my facial hair was that thick !

Thank you :) Still deciding whether to keep it or try something else or shave it off.. :) However at the moment I quite like it :) Hope it's not too high maintenance.. :D Will test drive it for a week :)

Looks good...you certainly have the headshape for the chinstrap!

I guess it will look better over time when I lose more weight as I have very nice lineament (not sure if using the right word), that aren't seen at this point :)
-
it looks good on you.
-
Looks great O0

Looking good mate, did you ask for a chinstrap, or did she suggest it? Personally I would have liked to have seen her work with the length you had... but I am biased, as I love big beards lol. But as I said, it does look good on you :D

That's finely shaped beard. Adds character. Consider keeping it.

it's a keeper

Thanks everyone!

Beardman, I asked her what would look good on me and she answered "I don't know" :D That was one of the moments I lost confidence in her. However it turned out great and I am loving my new look :) Will definitely keep it. :)

I am genuinely surprised at her work. I haven't been to a barber shop in years, but one of my fears is the barber trying to get me to look like--umm--every other person in the neighborhood.
-
love the chin straps on you suits you well

Yeah, that would make me lose confidence too. She did a good job though, glad you are keeping it O0
-
you had good luck when I had one I trimmed my own , as others would mess it up
-
Either way it will look good. The best I think was the first picture though
-
I think you should either keep it like it is now (or as close to that as you can, because I'm thinkin it will be somewhat high maintenance) or grow back the fuller beard. Either way, I wouldn't shave it off.
