Beard or No Beard (Opinions Please)

I grew a beard a few months ago. Despite the fact I attribute most of my workout successes to the power of the beard, I am torn on whether to keep it or not. I would love some of your opinions on the matter

Here is the face in question

    Sorry, I'm just not a fan of pubes on the face.

    No beard. It doesn't look bad on you, but I prefer smooth faces.

    I like it, then again I've always been a fan of facial hair.

    Haha. If your success is down to the beard - it needs to stay!

    I vote keep it.... facial hair adds an edgy quality. Plus, It looks good on you!

    You have a strong face shape (from what I can discern around the facial hair) so I would say, it's just hair, it WILL grow back. Shave it off, see your new trim, strong jaw line and if you start seeing your workouts/weight suffering after a couple weeks grow it back in.

    My Hubby just shaved his head and trimmed up his beard a lot (thinned the sides & trimmed the goatee), I was worried I wouldn't like it, but he reminded me, it grows back. Needless to say I'm really glad he did that - really fantastic look for him!

    I'd say play with your styles. I know you're a dude & probably not the metrosexual type, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun with your look, especially if you've been working out & improving yourself on the inside. It's good to improve the outside, too :smile:

    I see you're getting more "keep the beard comments" BUT you have a killer smile and with NO facial hair, it'll stand out even more. Did I convince you? AND if you do get rid of it, please post the new pic!

    I dislike beards in general (and I make my husband shave it whenever it's starting to grow), but it looks good on you. In your picture profile you don't have one photo without the beard or facial hair, so I prefer the beard to the "whatever half beard" you have on one of the pics.

    I'm a big fan of beards, but I gotta go with others. Shave it and it will come back!

    Well, I'm typically NOT a facial hair fan, but you look good in it! AND, with your Colorado lifestyle and all the things you like to do here, it's definitely more practical (Broomfield here!)
