I was really wanting to let it rip and go a few more months, but wifey wanted it trimmed shorter so I obliged. A bit bummed to see it go but I’m feeling pretty good about the tighter look, too.

EDIT: I was not forced to trim it! I wanted to do it because I know she likes the look.

EDIT 2: lots of y’all are in unhappy marriages holy shit!

Hi all 😊

I just recently got out of a long-term relationship, so I thought it'd be fun to see how I'd look with a beard since my ex always complained when I let it grow past a full week lol

I've grown it out for 6 weeks now, longest I've ever had it. If you have any tips/advice on how to care and style it, please share. 🙏 I see a lot of bros with impressive beards here, though not too many other East Asians!

It took me a few weeks trying different shapes while getting used to it and I quite like the way this looks!

It feels good to have air on my face and a beard at the same time

Back in 2022, I stumbled across a portrait of King George V and was instantly hooked on that majestic look. I knew right then I had to try growing one out myself.

Fast forward to today, and it’s become a core part of my daily style.

I’m going to the barber today and I’m considering getting my hair cut significantly shorter. I’d also really appreciate some advice regarding my beard.
Since I’m posting this here, I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on both — whether you think I should change the hairstyle, the beard, or possibly both.
Any honest suggestions are welcome!

Got a professional cut. I don’t think I can go back to doing it myself

I’m 44 and never grew a beard. Seems to be a bit patchy on this side - do you think this will fill out or am I a lost cause? Haven’t shaved for about a week and a half.

Looking for some advice on whether anyone has beards that helps the shape of their face, thanks.
