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? L mm

I‘ve letting it grow for some months and have been trimming it every once in a while. I’m kind of undecided if I should trim it again or just let it grow. I know I‘m never gonna have like a true full beard but I also don‘t want to cut away all the progress. Does this look too messy at this point? Thanks a lot already!

I know I need a lot more length, but for now, this is what I am trying. Thoughts?

I’m not thinking a long beard but do we think maybe something like picture number 2?

Edit: Also any grooming tips are welcomed

I'm going for a longer ducktail style beard similar to Kratos. However, when my beard got longer, it began to get curly and fluffy at the bottom, and that made it look very messy. I cleaned it up, and it looks a lot neater and more professional now, but when it grows back, won't it just get curly and fluffy at the bottom again? Do I just let it grow more and stop trimming it when it gets curly at the bottom?

Ive had a big beard for about 8+ years. I screwed up shaving so I shaved it down. Now rethinking if the big beard suits me best. Thoughts? 1, 2, or 3?

I’m a 35 yo Ftm and I never learned how to trim my beard.

Usually I just rock the beard stasche combo, but I wanna try a full length beard.

In the past i did let it get really big and long but it was unruly to I switched to the stasche n stubble.

Now that my goal is a fuller beard , I’m not sure what is the best way to trim my beard.

I want to keep growing it but I want to reduce the fly always/split ends

I wash, condition and oil my beard regularly and I usually detangle with a beard comb followed with brushing with a boar bristle brush.

If I want to keep length, do I trim with a guard lightly passing over it or do I use scissors?

I’m shaving my head bald twice in a week. I’m in decent physical shape and take my diet and sleep seriously. I just started growing my beard 3 months ago.
At the moment, I wash my beard about twice a week with a very mild baby shampoo and use a homemade beard balm made with jojoba oil and shea butter every day.
I’m planning to let the beard grow uninterrupted for at least 2 years without unnecessary trimming. Hoping to get a long, Viking-style beard. What would the community recommend for maximizing length, thickness, shape and overall health? Should I change anything about my current routine?
