I am a bit on the fence on whether or not I should shave it off or continue growing towards a great big bushy beard.

So please vote for great big bushy beard or to shave it off.

If you vote shave it off, can you suggest a style I can shave before I shave it all off, I was thinking mutton chops :P

3 guesses who is a little board on his holidays :tongue:

    I'd trim it a little, maybe get rid of the sideburns. But I love a good beard so I say keep most of it.

    Trying to get to the point where I don’t need to wear a wool prosthetic beard :smiley:

    In my opinion, just trim it a bit. If you make your neck a couple mm shorter than your cheeks it will do wonders.

    Your beard is at the awkward stage between scruff and full on beard. You could also just wait until you get to full on beard but that takes time and it’s a lot to maintain IMO.

    A clean shaven 'scruff' is ok. I personally do not like bushy facial hair or those really long scruffy beards. Looks like chin pubes to me ... :blush:

    You should totally grow it more so that it’s a little longer and work towards getting it nice and thick but don’t go overboard with the length
    Most guys can’t really pull of the longer type of beards and the ones that can usually can pull it off cause they ain’t cute
    Just my opinion but you would not look good with a really long beard

    If you want a different look, shave the neck, and have the beard stop at the underside of the jaw bone. Hair on the neck makes it look terrible.

    Then again, I'm not one for facial hair myself. I could grow a beard pretty easily. But, I don't like facial hair more than a day or two of growth. So, thankfully, job safety requirements mandate I am clean shaven.

    This exactly! Thanks for writing that all out for me @xFunctionalStrengthx

    Except I am a woman, so don't grow any facial hair myself, easily or otherwise.

    Another vote for this option! Neck hair is almost never a good look in my book.

    Siblings are renowned for their unobjectivity. If you want objective objectification you will need the opinions of hundreds of anonymous persons on an online forum.... Hey! Look where we are! Pictures please!

    Okay, I'll give you a break!

    Personally, I prefer it. I don't think it makes you look 12 at all.

    My vote... Do what you want. It IS your face after all. Shave it or grow it long, as long as you're happy with it. It's really no one's business but yours.

    I would've voted for shaving it off. I don't like big bushy beards.
    However, it is just hair and it is your face so if you want to experiment go for it sometime.

    It looks good! Why are your eyes red? Hmmm?

    Combination of tired, sweat/heat and staring at a screen.

    So nothing fun :P
