thinking i need a change but not sure what to do with it. suggestions?

hair not dark enough there. and i would never hear the end of it from BALDROB. soulpatches look cool, but it just probably wouldn't work for me.

You could lose the 'stache and just keep the lower goat, or keep the goat just down the center of the chin and let it grow out some, like mine.  I finally got fed up with a full goatee about a year ago and switched to the chin covering, then just down the middle.

for some reason i thought shaving the soul patch out would be ok. my 6 yr old said i look like an idiot and i need to grow it back. he is right.

Didn't I tell you to leave it alone??    Not to worry; it will be back to normal within a week.

If it's any consolation, I once thought about doing the same thing about a year ago, but decided against it because I knew I'd just mess it up.  Probably would not have known where to stop shaving until the whole thing was destroyed.   I don't actually have a "real" soul patch.   The whole area fills in right up to my lower lip, but the hair in the center is a little darker.  It looks untidy and it all that hair around the mouth is also uncomfortable,  so I had the barber "carve out" a soul patch that I have to shave around every day.  It's not something I want to experiment with too much because getting it back to normal would be a bit of an ordeal.

You could do what I've done a few times.

Keep the overall goat like in yer pic....but from yer lower lip (or under the lower-lip tuft), shave a razor-width strip straight down yer chin and neck.

it's the chuck liddell look.....kinda makes an extended 'stache, man

Here's mine Just before I went SLY

I've started my goatee today (as a goatee on a sly guy is like salt and pepper on a good steak) and am looking at the avatars of the rest to deside which style I like.

I really like the style Tyler has (along with the mustache), but I don't think it would fit my face. 

My only problem is I know it will be gray. Is there any good beard color products out there? I once tried Just For Men U_Color, but it didn't do squat.

Jim:   I have the same problem...but have had great success with the Just For Men for Beards...designed for the coarser facial hair.  Does a great job and you use so little on a goatee that it last quite a while.

Robmeister:  Man I forgot about Liddell...like that...may try it myself.!!!
