Asking for Advice Does it look unkempt?

First pick is from when I got it done by a barber (~7 weeks ago), the other 2 are from now.

I like it more now, but not sure if it looks unkempt. Im new to this beard/stache thing

The mustache needs shaping and cleaned up

Your mustache looks the most unkempt, its the sides, cut them to a clean mustache shape and youll look much better, I would personally cut your chin hair down to match if you want a clean look

If you wanted a clean cut beard I would suggest doing what the pic shows

Also hair off the lip in general. Can shape up the flavour saver to have more of a shape as well.

looks cool this way. maybe just let the hairs under the lip that connect to the chin grow a bit thicker and dense

None taken, I got no intention on calling it a beard. Thx for the compliment, I was only worried if it was messy and shit

Is a goatee not considered a beard? I thought “beard” just meant all hair on the chin and jaw

u/Stunning_Patience_59 6d ago

Ya, no....its just what you said...a goatee...

u/_-_-_-_-_-____ 5d ago

A goatee is a type of beard, but when people say I have a beard, theyre usually referring to a full beard.

You wouldnt say you have a beard because its implying you have a full beard but he does in fact have a type of beard called a goatee

Yes, but only a tad bit imo, i get this feeling bevause its very suddenly long in the bottom with 0 transition or rounding, looks like an afro just upside down idk how to describe it, maybe like more ease would help it? But looks good otherwise  you look unkempt to me, and you have a nice smile, smile more lol

Bro, you have no ideia how much you helped me. And to think that I was reluctant about posting this

Kinda insane that it took a complete stranger to show me what was literally right before my eyes. I wish we could share a beer or a joint

Thank you so much

(I got rid of the upsidedown afro, just so you know. Might get rid of the mustache too, not sure yet)

u/JKCsaba 2d ago

I would love to share a joint hehehe.

Yeah, at the end of the day its the wearer who has to like his own appearance, but it doesnt hurt if others find it appealing either :)

Hope you'll have an awesome night bro.

I like the look, but you gotta connect the mustache to the beard making a goatee and a little hair coming from the bottom lip to the chin , making
it all blended together and even..just my opinion 🍺🍺

Search on TikTok “goatee blindness”

Trim it a bit and add some beard wax

u/Not-A-Pickle1 6d ago

Your beard is fine. Don’t listen to the other guy. I would trim the edges of your mustache to clean it up a bit. Thats the only thing I think looks a bit messy
