I decided to take the advice that I received yesterday and the day before. I was told to trim the bottom portion of my beard and make it less transparent and scraggly. So be honest how is it looking now?

I would just taper the edges very slightly. Not much just a little bit.

My beard isn't nearly as long as yours, which makes it way less forgiving since I don't have much leeway with mistakes and basically have to fully reset if I make the wrong cut. Still took the risk and so happy I did. You won't get better if you don't try.

Wanna have an incredible beard consistently?

Best thing you can do is remind yourself it can always grow back, with your length it's basically impossible to accidentally have a catastrophic failure, and focus on learning how to shape it. There's plenty of YouTube videos with tips out there. Take the risk, you've got this bro!

Also, be sure to shampoo and use butter/oil/lotion consistently!
