As someone who is not a fan of longish beards (and ironically likes the length in his own,) I would have to say don't trim. The beard in your avatar picture looks great.

F77, your trim is not that bad and it grows again.
I always trim with the clipper combs so i don't get too much.

.I think I went further than I wanted too.....that'll teach me to try trimming!
Lesson learned !
Think that's happened to many others on the forum, too.

You look good regardless.
I don't think there's anything wrong with a trim now and again to prevent looking wild and woolie. it's gonna keep growing so no harm done.

The beard looks fine. But if you are not happy with it, let it go for a week and you won't know it had been trimmed.

Ah yes... Every time I've trimmed in the past I've always been unhappy with how much I've taken off haha. As everyone has said, the best part about beards is they grow back

I've tried the scissors, but they feel really clumsy, just not used to working with them in front of a mirror I guess, I still trim my mo' with them, so I'm getting a bit better at it. But the beard isn't getting trimmed for a while anyways haha

Everyone has to start somewhere mate, for ages all I could pull off was sideburns and a dirty little mo' but after a while I was able to go all the way to a full beard.
Thanks a lot. That helps. I've been feeling... somewhat impatient that it hasn't developed that much... but I'm 19, I have time. When I haven't shaved my face in long enough there's a very thin vellus hair outline of a full beard, so I think it'll happen eventually... I'm just hoping I got my beard genes from my Mom's side of the family...
You know what? Nevermind. I'm already certain I did.

This entire thread is really inspiring. Not to mention, I'm extremely jealous of what Beardman has goin on there lol. I've always kept a fairly short trimmed goat. It's been the same since I was 16 or so and I'm thinking this is the year to just let it grow and see what happens.

Incidentally, Beardman, at what age was it that you had developed the "sideburns and a dirty little mo'?" You're mid-twenties, right?
Yeah, I'd just like to know that I could go full beard before 30. And yes, I know it's different for everyone.
By the way, happy new year, everyone.

Yes mate, I'm 26.
The sideburns were the first things that grew in for me. I sort of started late at the whole facial hair game believe it or not and didn't get the sidies until probably 17-18.
The dirty little mo was probably coming in a bit later, but I wasn't really happy with my mo until I started growing out my beard alot, and I honestly think that's still my biggest fault with my beard, I'd love a rocking bushy mo'... butt beggars can't be choosers haha.
My first taste of the full beard was when I was about 20 or so... but I had (in my opinion a pretty poor attempt at a mo' haha). So I see no reason that if you were lucky enough to get the right genes you'd have a full beard before 30.

So after some talking into it, I've convinced the girlfriend that this is the year of the beard. I'll try to take plenty of pics to track the progress of course.

LET THE YEAR OF THE BEARD BEGIN!
Good luck man, Best part about growing it longer is that when you get to the point you think you've gone to far, then you can just cut back to a length you find more comfortable... be warned though long beards are addicting!
