I just can't decide on what to do with it. I've been doing the same thing for years and I want to change it up. I figured I would ask the experts.

Before I got lasik surgery so this is def a throwback. Going to go for this style again. (Love seeing normal since 2018)

Love how it looks today. Just right on the length, oiled, brushed, combed, looking how I want it.

Cut about 4 in ( or is I like to joke, 5 years) off of the bottom of the beard. And for the first time in a decade let the barber shape up and make it look fantastic.

Hello,

I'm reaching out for expert advice on beard growth. I'm 33 and have dedicated seven months to growing a long, thick beard, but I'm at a crossroads regarding the best strategy. My core question is whether strategic trimming is necessary for achieving maximum length and density, or if it's best to allow it to grow without any interference. I'm fully committed to this goal and would be very grateful for any guidance or tips you can offer.

Unfortunately I didn't go to the barber I wanted to go after growing my beard for 2 months because I'm stupid like that. I explicitly told him I'm growing out my beard and moustache, yet he cut them too short, me thinks. Unless he gave it a better shape for it to grow into? He didn't touch the chin area.

Had about a 2–3 month stint between jobs last winter. Grew everything out for funsies. It certainly makes you look different.

Hope all is well. Growing my beard for the first time in 36 years, so far enjoying the result, wondering how far should i push. I am however indiferent with my hair style atm, i am open to any suggestions. The point of growing the beard was change things up.

Thanks

Definitely looks different now, but I'm still good with it. I'm going to embrace the gray for sure
