Title: Beard or not? (with pics)
Post by: Gimme on February 18, 2010, 08:46:52 PM: Hi guys. Below are 3 pics: the first was taken the first day I shaved my head, the second is after a few days without shaving, the third is with a 2 week old beard (trimmed a couple of times). I honestly think I can't pull off a beard longer than the one in pic 3. Which do you think looks better? Honesty please :x!

I like the Mr. Clean look.

Only after a month of untrimmed growth can you begin to see what kind of beard you are capable of at this point in your life--it changes over time.
There's some promise, but much too soon to make a judgment. Give it time, it won't go anywhere ;D

I always say ladies mix it up with their make up and hair styles but us guys get to decorate and get creative and change it up with our facial hair styles. So its your perogitive as a man to have no facial hair or to have as much facial hair as you choose, goatee, beard, jaw strap, soul patch, clean shaven, etc. Let your creative juices run wild, some times changing the look can be invigorating, but you are a handsome guy whatever style you choose to have.

Post by: Coltsfan73 on February 26, 2010, 01:26:20 PM: all the pics look good man. Find what you enjoy and like the others have said, play around with it, experiment. I think you could pull off any of the looks. Enjoy

Title: Re: Beard or not? (with pics)
Post by: Gimme on February 26, 2010, 07:48:27 PM: Thanks guys. I'll keep it and give an update in a few days. It's starting to look better IMO. I've gotten lots of compliments on the look, so the decision has been easy. :)

Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on February 27, 2010, 09:54:11 AM: Just remember, it takes at least three months to see what you've got. Since you've already gotten compliments, I think you're really going to like it at three months. It won't be a "mature" beard until about 8 to 12 months as dormant hairs start coming into play and thicken it even more.
