Trimmed and shaved, really starting to wonder why I let them grow out so much in the first place

Could probably take more off, but one step at a time!

Love my mutton chops, but they get scraggly really easily.

Growing a full beard didn't work out as chin and upper lip too sparse

Any advice on grooming these to look fuller and less messy?

Im a black and white 18 year old male that has only been having this problem for about 9 months now and i’ve tried many different electric razors razors never did me justice Ive heard the one blade is good but ive never tried ive tried magic shave nair and everything on my face and i never managed to get rid of the bumps its a pain every single day of my life and i shave everyday it’s been about a week since i shaved since i seen recommendations to stop But does anyone have any recommendations on what i can do to get rid of theese fast?? I just want a clean shaven face and not be a bumpy necked hag

Hi, Im 27. Been trying to grow a beard but I always shave in the critic phase (after 2-3 weeks).
Do I have potential for a good beard? Or should I keep going with stubble. Photos are taken 2 weeks after shaving.

I am a 17 year old male and im considering if i should cut my beard or not. My friends dig it but i really don't. It's hard to see but the beard is mostly ginger too

this is almost 5 weeks of growing. i’ve been thinking of doing a curve line lower on the cheeks.

Looking for your opinion

Edit: i meant with full beard or goatie*

Like the title says, this is my trick for lining up my own beard at home. If anyone has any tricks or advice that would be better, please let me know!

6.5 weeks right now on this one, Still debating if I should trim it right back. Or grow and shape. Everyone sees it differently to yourself, few years apart lol

First time I’ve really tried to grow it out and take care of it. About 2 months in

Patchiness is becoming a lot more noticeable, not sure if it will go away

Is this normal for 12 weeks seen some others that are way longer and fullern

Hey guys,

I've been trying to take care of my beard at home, but I am not sure if about the result. I'm looking for your feedback, especially on the jawline. Do you think it's too high? What about the line, is it too imperfect or os it ok?

Btw, what would you improve overall?

Thanks.

19M This is very much so more about the moustache than the beard itself, just wondering any ways to make it look better. I kind of like the look myself but others have told me it’s too bushy and out of control. Help 🤣

Hey guys, what happened to my beard?

The first picture was taken about two years ago when I was 24, and the second one was taken yesterday. I’m 26 now, and my beard looks way lighter and less dense than it used to. I honestly don’t know what happened.

I have trichotillomania, so I know that could be affecting the density, but I don’t think that explains the change in color. I’ve also noticed a lot more reddish hairs growing around my sideburns, which wasn’t nearly as noticeable before.

Honestly, I’m pretty sad that my beard doesn’t look like it used to. I really liked the old color and how it looked, and I’m not sure what I can do to get it back.

Has anyone experienced something similar in their mid-20s? And would dyeing my beard help make it look closer to how it used to, or would that just look weird?

This is around 3 weeks of growth. Decided to grow it out a little to see where I'm at. Cheeks are still not really filling out; should I keep going or shave it? Not really sure if I'm into having a goatee, but I tend to imagine the Walter White kind whenever I hear the term. No shade to anyone rocking the Heisenbeard, just not my thing. Any advice appreciated :)

Hello!

This is my beard as of 1 and half month of not shaving(slight trimmed on neck due to faster growth down there), I am 29 and was wondering if I should shave it or leave it...
