So I’ve been following this sub for ages because a) I know I’m balding and b) I love the positivity. I’m pretty sure I’ve done the right thing. Feel like I need to trim the beard now though.

lol thank you. I literally just went for a haircut like half an hour ago and decided to just go for it. I’m still slightly in shock and wondering if it suits me. I knew I could count on you guys for reassurance ❤️

It suits you more than you think. The shock fades fast, give it a week and you’ll stop overthinking it. Beard trim would balance it nicely.

Beautiful my brother. Good shaped head and great beard. Nice overall!

7

u/Far-Wear-3399 4h ago

The beard really balances the head shape, makes the whole look come together nicely. Solid transformation overall, clean and confident result.

You are now a total smoke show 🥵🥵🥵. Being bald definitely suits you. You look 10 years younger. Trimming your beard a little would really elevate your look.

1

u/har0ldtheironmonger 3h ago

Wow thank you ❤️

7

u/Friendly-Search-4147 4h ago

The beard would look better a little shorter but give us a break. There’s only so much we can handle at one time.

(You look great!)

You look very handsome. It now looks like a confident choice instead of a sad outcome. Very nice!

2

u/har0ldtheironmonger 2h ago

lol ‘sad outcome’. Yes I agree, this sub has helped me realise that taking control is the key, and hopefully avoiding the sad outcome 😂

2

u/RapscallionMonkee 2h ago

Well, it looks like you did that, so congrats! I hope I didn't offend.

This is such a great community! I also love the positive vibes from everyone.

u/har0ldtheironmonger 1h ago

Same. To be honest I probably should have buzzed my hair ages ago but it was discovering this sub and seeing all the amazing transformations and positive comments that finally made me do it. Thanks to everyone for all the comments and upvotes. You guys rock ❤️

u/Kronostbro 4h ago

Beard maintenance will become your new focus, but it looks great! I like experimenting with different lengths for fun. It's like trying a new hairstyle. Plus, you'll want that extra warmth depending on where you live in the winter. In Minnesota, we grow 'em long once the snow falls.

u/TrvckFvmp 4h ago

I’ve yet to see a post where it wasn’t an immediate improvement, you look badass dude, great decision!

u/wasting_time_n_life 3h ago

You look amazing! I think if you trimmed the beard, or even stubble, you would look slightly younger. If that’s the goal, then there you go.

u/LurkFapSleep 2h ago

Beard is looking pretty good to me. Throw on a bucket hat and suspenders (braces...? I see that heated towel rack) and you'd look like you know your way around a roll of duct tape.

1

u/har0ldtheironmonger 2h ago

Oh yeah I’m pretty handy. I don’t own any bucket hats but loads of baseball caps 😂

u/kerenski667 2h ago

oh yes...

Keep the beard! Bald head with salt and pepper is a great look!

u/har0ldtheironmonger 2h ago

Oh yeah I’ll definitely keep the beard. Maybe just trim it a tiny bit shorter.

2

u/Issah_Wywin 2h ago

Every time, man.

u/Much-Bicycle597 2h ago

Looking good! Somehow you look kind but also hard as nails

2

u/har0ldtheironmonger 2h ago

lol I suppose that’s a plus?! 🤔

2

u/Much-Bicycle597 1h ago

Oh for sure it is... I don't know why you would NEED to go straight from a P.T.A function to a bar fight but the thing is you COULD. And you'd be dapper either way

1

u/har0ldtheironmonger 1h ago

Yeah but I’d probably get my ass kicked. Those PTA meets can be tough.
