r/beards

I’ve been trying to figure this out lately. I used to keep a beard because I felt like it helped hide features I wasn’t confident about, but after losing weight, people have responded really positively to how I look without it. Now I’m not sure which suits me better keeping the beard or going clean shaven.

I tend to rock the beard more these days than when I was in my mid 20s. What do you all think?

Just got home from a 14 hour day work day. I normally trim about half to 2/3 of this as soon as it gets warm enough to ride the motorcycle on a regular basis, but we aren't quite there yet.

Should I trim it up or keep it a while longer?

I plan on cleaning my beard up and keeping its current length

does it get any better?

Made the mistake of shaving the beard after a year, well here we go again, I am 3 months into the yeard! Going for two years this time actually!

Moustache was getting a bit big and out of control as is to be seen on the first picture.

Let the scissors do their magic. I think it turned out nice.

My beard turned full gray in my late 30s. I’m 48 now. Hair is still black with no gray.
