A not so newbie! by offtheclockuk on 14 Dec, 2015 13:50

Hey guys,
I've been a lurker here for years and never said hello, so as I'm planning some face fur to accompany my shiny dome I thought I'd take the plunge and ask for opinions on a length or style that may suit my face.
I've been shaving my head for the last 4 years so I don't know if I count as a newbie haha!
Admin please move this if it's not in the right spot.

Glad you stepped out the the lurker shadows and joined us, James!
I think your goat/circle beard looks good. Are you thinking of expanding its coverage? -

That's what I'm not sure of, to go to a full beard or just grow the goatee to 3 or 4 inches long, I really don't know.

There are several of us on here that are in the 4 year category. Me and Mr. Jules for two.
A full beard is always nice unless your wife objects severely.
My wife has never seen me in person without a beard, so it's not a problem here.
Welcome. Nice to have you active on the site. -

Welcome, James! No harm in trying the full beard, if you don't like it, you can shave it off.

Wecome. I'm up to 11+ years shaved so definitely not a newbie.
The goatee looks good at the current length. However why not try a full beard and see how that looks. Facial hair plus a bald dome is the way to go - I'm not even bised.

Welcome James , as for the beard , you won't know which is best till you try growing it. What you have looks great.

I asked my wife about a full beard last night..... let's just say I'll have to slowly sneak it into the house under cover of darkness haha!
I think I'll let the goatee get long and see if I can forget to shave the sides one day.
Thanks very much for the warm welcomes too! -

My personal biased preference is that a full beard looks best with a shaved dome. But I also believe that a shaved dome looks better with some facial hair than with none. So my suggestion is to experiment, give the full beard a try. Go for some length and have fun with it, you can always trim back.

Asking a wife should I grow a beard , is not the best of choices . Grow it and then if they give you a hard time consider shaving , she may like it or eventually like it. My wife at first did not care for mine , then after awhile she said she did. Who can figure out women.

True, maybe I'll let it grow out.

I think the goatee looks good on you. I wish I could rock some facial hair, but mine grows in too white. It ages me about 20 years. In your case it doesn't age you. Looks good.
