Ok, since I have been on the site I have toyed around with my beard a lot. It's fun. But sometimes the results are not entirely... pleasant. Lemme know what you think with this current little chin hair. Is it too little hair? My mother begs me not to grow a really thick beard because she says I look upside down. hahaha With this look, I actually look frighteningly like my deceased father when he was younger.

not bad at all.

I think it's too little.....but when all's said and done it's what you like.... O0
-
I like the one in your avatar photo better.
-
I vote for the avy configuration! O0
But the new one is not bad!
-

I concur. O0
-
One more vote for the avitar pic. Gives you a more youthful appearance.
-
Well, I am pretty sure I will grow the beard back, but I don't know what style to grow it to. The beard in my avatar looks to ME like I was kicked out of the Backstreet Boys.
-
J, i think the chin goat is a good look.
Although my clean shaven work picture doesn't imply it, I mix it up with the beard almost on a weekly basis, because it's fun and i'm a facial hair commitment phobe. Keep having fun with it. Go with the lightening bolt burns next.
-
I think you look good either way.
My mother begs me not to grow a really thick beard because she says I look upside down...
LOL. I actually overheard a little girl in a grocery store pipe up with: "Mommy! Mommy! That man's head is on upside down!" on an occasion when I had a full beard. It had to be me she was talking about!
-
P.S. Full beard with sly head is a look I really like.
-
The avatar pic, I think fits you better
-
Hey JD!
For what it's worth, I think you can pull off either look, and do it quite well!!! O0

Why don't you try letting the 'stache get a little wider and let the beard grow up a little further on your cheeks. Strangely enough, the beard does make you look younger. But your face shape seems to work best with a full beard.
-
Well, When I first shaved my head, I had this going.

I think it has two problems. It's too much beard. I could do with it growing thicker, but I don't really want quite so much hair...and secondly, I have a bald spot and a really thin connector between mustache and beard. You can see the big bald spot on both sides of my mustache...so I have been shaving the cheeks down to avoid having the patchy look.
-
Actually, I don't think it looks bad at all.
-
I think that while you look good both ways, I think the beard suits you best. I am kind of perjudiced since I have a full beard. In fact, if I could, this is the look I would love to have. But I usually get too itchy before it even gets close to this! This photo is Sly beard perfection in my book!
-
P.S. Full beard with sly head is a look I really like.
Yeah, me too. I've grown mine out a few times. The past 6 months I've been totally Mr. Clean shaven, but last week I started the full beard a'growning...I'm already hooked again!
Here's a old pic from the last time I grew it out:

J.J. you look 10 yrs younger with the clean shaven look.
-
I'm just glad this isn't Timmayys post. I was a little scared to read it :)
JD, I would do whichever is easier to maintain (I'm lazy). Looks good to me eitherway O0
-
J.J. you look 10 yrs younger with the clean shaven look.
Yeah, I've heard that before, Ghost.
Sometimes I just wanna look my real age for a change...lol. But I like to switch the facial hair a lot, so I'll be shaved clean again at some point, no doubt.
-
You do look a lot younger clean shaven. I for one admire any guy that grow a beard. I can't grow one save my life! It grows in all patchy and nasty looking.

I guess I'm making up for lost time! I was always a total baby face, didn't really need to shave every day until I hit 25. When I hit 35, I was able to grow a really decent beard.
-
Sweet looking beard , J J !! Isn't facial hair a blast to play with? I bounce back and forth between a goatee and beard, myself. Just can't bring myself to go less than a goatee, though... :-\

What area of medicine are you in JJ?

That is quite a nice looking beard. Ever thought of growing it long with your sly dome? I have often wanted to do that myself but then end up trimming it down. But I think for some, the long beard and the shaved head looks cool. I gotta admit, that I would love to have a Santa Claus beard, just not the weight that I am currently carrying.

Yeah. I actually wore a goatee for years, even before I went sly. I only stayed clean-shaven for a few weeks at a time before March of this year. This past period of Mr. Clean-ness was definitely the longest stretch ever. I'm loving the beard again, though!
-
What area of medicine are you in JJ?
I treat cancer patients, mostly suffering from leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. They all go bald from chemo, and they all love my shiny slick dome!

I might try it! I have grown the beard out a bit more in the past, but I wasn't sly back then:

You don't even look like the same person.
Much better sly. Just my opinion....lol
-
Sly is an improvement JJ

WOW J.J.!!!!!
What an improvement going sly made! O0 You look better and younger!
-
I concur ....you look much better JJ O0
-
j Dig; I think you look great with the chin goat and no stache. I know what you mean by seeing your father in the mirror; I have the same thing; esp. when I'm clean shaven (which has only been twice before in my life) . It's kind of freaky ! I've been thinking of shaving my beard too; so your thread is giving me some food for thought.
As the guys have said, it's fun to play around with the facial hair esp. once you're commited to being sly (not much variation there! ) I've been trimming mine back pretty short, lowering it , so that the area around the ears is pretty clean; but haven't done a "goatee" yet. Maybe that's coming before I try a full face shave . ...
JJ -- really interesting transformation ; you look a LOT different in your pre-sly pic. I think you look pretty good there, with the full beard esp; but with your hairline, I can see why you went sly. Big improvement !
Now; should I have mine or not ? .....
-
To JJ: amazing change!

That beard was pretty outta hand, but it was fun to grow. I'm not sure how long I'll grow out the current beard, but it's filling in nicely.
-

I like to change my look often! I get bored...lol.
-
Me too JJ! I'm constantly changing the facial hair.

Cool, Scott! It's a great way to change things up. Although sometimes my choice of facial hair morphing gets a big thumbs down from everyone....like when I shaved down to a solo stache...lol.
-
I've never had a solo stache - I alternate btw a beard and a goat, with an occasional btm goat or soul patch.

Ha.. that's great man
-
That's cool JJ - never thought to document all my "changes." Might have to give that a try sometime just for comparison.
-
It is too small,shave the heck out of that and start a goatee.
By the way,when did you beard start growing? I'm 15,and I wanna that goatee so much,but that stupid beard just won't get out of my skin >.<
-
I'm in favor of you going with the "upside down look"
ALL HAIL THE BEARD OF DOOM!
-

Same here. Go from beard and goatee.

Great stuff, J.J. Man, I should document all the silly stuff I have done with my facial hair. I kind of like the handlebar and the thin little soul patch right under the lip.
-
I think the mustache and soul patch combo looks really good on you. You may also want to try the Brad Pitt look.
