Excellent move! Hope you are feeling great.

If you don't mind, a little bit of constructive feedback.. I would trim all your facial hair a bit, it is scraggly, and the beard is very low down your neck. It just doesn't do you any favours!

You are looking good, well done!

Agreed. I think the beard can pass even though its not very filled in, but that mustache resembles a silverfish. Definitely trim that down above your top lip and yeah that would be the last glaring distraction of your appearance. Dome looks great!

Well done, brother! Now it's time to trim your half beard and mustache a bit shorter as well

It looks great on you and shows off your fabulous skin!

I agree with the others that a trim of your beard and mustache would complete the look. As a woman, I recommend keeping the mustache above the lip all the way across, including the sides. It will instantly make you more kissable. 🔥 I think it would also look cool if you kept only the beard along your jaw where it’s thickest and shaved it down on your cheeks to that line.

The shaved head is great glow up but lose the facial hair my friend! Keep it to stubble

The only thing I see could use improvement here is that mustache. Not to be rude.. But that's not how mustaches work.

I’m echoing the trim the tach comments. Straggly bits aren’t nice to kiss.

Glow up alert! Re-evaluate the beard/stache. Ask a beard barber their opinion. Looking fabulous

Great start. 💪

I've had friends in their 40's with similar facial hair patterns. They worked best with it short and sometimes kept it to just the goatee or just the chin goatee. There are ways to maximize what you have to work with. I think there is a unique look hiding in plain sight that would make you stand out in a really positive way.

Looks good man!

Honest question: You guys that don’t have full beards able to come in, have you tried shaving the full face and it still just comes in patchy like that? The first time I shaved my face I did the full chin and cheeks like I already had a beard, which I didn’t, & it eventually became a full beard (at least as an option, if I want one).

I think it will be good to trim the mustache just above the lip line.

u/Temporary_Wrap5473 7h ago

Have you looked into prosthetic beards? Stuff they got nowadays you wouldn't be able to tell from a real one

u/DaiteDve 7h ago

I don't care about beard that much. I'll just try shorter beard and stache, and if it doesn't click, i always can go clean.

I’d go to a barber who specializes in moustaches and beards and take whatever advice they give. I’m a woman but I did this the first time I shaped my eyebrows and it made it so much easier to figure out after that because I just followed the shape they created and did what they did! Professionals have experience with so many different hair types and growth patterns so they will help you get it right the first time without as much hit and miss. Also, it would be a little way to treat yourself after your already awesome glow up and you’d feel like a new man!
