As one who sported a goatee for over 10 years I'm voting for the full beard. About a month ago I went with a modified version of this look by extending my sideburns down and connecting them to the goatee.
It's a good look on you.

No choice, Razor... you HAVE to keep it (at least for a while)..  It looks great, just as I suspected it would!   O0

The full beard looks good, let it come in a bit before making a decision....I would keep it but then I am biased  ;)

Well, there appears to be a definite consensus that the beard should stay.    :)  I'm still getting used to the new look but I do want to live with it for a little while before making a final decision.  There's no point in suffering through the scruffy stage and not enjoying the benefit of the end result for a while.   Thanks for the feedback, guys.  I appreciate it.

The full beard looks good.  It's a keeper.

Keep going with the beard. You are definitely inspiring some of your beardless brethren to consider the same!

I would stay w/the goatee. Full beard is too much! Just my opinion..

If for no other reason whatsoever, it may get Rob6 to grow one, & finally show his mug! ;) Yes, keep the full beard.

If you let it grow out to much on the sides a sly man looks like he has a zit for a head.

I will vehemently disagree, and think that's a small and mean thing to say.

Guys like Dr. Weil and our own marsh pull off the wide beard look admirably. I think they look great. You can disagree, but please keep the petty mean comments and name calling to yourself.

Sorry I didn't mean that statement in a harmful way.  The post I have deleted !

Think the decision has been made for you, Razor X.

The sideburns are wide, which adds another level character to the look.

Impressive number of votes cast. Some home shopping channels would be pleased with the viewing figures your beard/goatee thread is getting.

I voted for full beard. Personally, I think it's a good idea as a sly guy to change up the look now and then. The bald head+goatee is a very complimentary look, and no offense to other guys on this board, but so many sly guys I see are doing the goatee––break from the crowd and do something different!

Mr Jules I think you would look very good with the sideburns and also with the glass's .  One thing about it you have a great start .   O0
