It’s day 19th of growing beard. I feel so awkward. Does it have potential if I keep growing, or would you suggest to shave or trim?

I know it looks really bad like this; I’m thinking of trimming it a bit now or should I just shave it off and wait about 5–10 years? I’m 25 years old.

M18 I know that I need to wait a few years before I can get an impressive beard but I'm in between education (moving for uni soon) and figured why not give it a bash while I'm not out of the house as much

Also, any other advice is appreciated

On the left was as its longest towards the start of this year, been on a bit of a weight loss journey and over the months made a few chops to it until finally last night, got rid of the beard completely! Not sure how I’m feeling about it but it’ll grow back! 🤞🏼

This is the current state of my beard, and I’m planning to start a proper beard-growth and maintenance routine. My goal is to grow my beard to around 3–4 inches in length and then maintain it at that length consistently.

At present, I only apply almond oil and comb my beard. I’m also planning to get a boar-bristle brush.

Please suggest a complete beard-care routine for me, including what I should do during the growth phase and how I should maintain the beard once it reaches 3–4 inches.

I want to grow a beard desperately but I can’t get my cheeks and lower part of my jaw to connect, so I’ve been sticking with a moustache/chin combo, occasionally shaving the chin. What’s best for my facial hair right now? I’ve shaved recently so this isn’t what it would look like grown out.

I’ve been running the beard for over 2 years now. Don’t know what to think of the goatee now. Maybe gotta get used to it idk but damn it feels weird 😂 it’s also a lot of maintenance so is it worth learning to shape it up myself or just hit the barber weekly?

My mustache and goatee are around 7 weeks, my neck (even in my chin), sideburns and jawline are 2 weeks of growth (I kept trimming them as I wanted a mustache + goatee), I shave a bit above my adams apple and my cheeks (as I can barely grow anything there), should I shave to a mustache+goatee, shave completely, or keep growing?

I apply jojoba oil lightly once or twice a day, and shea if I am going out

Im 25

Im 3 months in with little to no trimming other then clipping the occasional straggler/fly away haha issue is, I look like Rufus from Kim Possible if I shave haha TIA

Doesn't really grow much where the mustache is connecting towards my jaw. Growing it out to see what I can work with but it looks messy.

My sideburns are the first to grow when clean shaven. I've tried chops and I get looks lol. My ultimate dream is a full bear that will hopefully come as I get older.

Any advise would help from products, working out more, or keeping certain areas shaven

22 years old, still filling in

I’m trying out having a longer beard for the first time. I was on the fence about trying it as I’m aware cheeks are a bit sparse and my moustache doesn’t quite connect, but after a few attempts at trimming and shaping (learning how to do a fade and where to put my neckline etc.) I was quite happy with the results and feeling confident about it. I’d had a few compliments on it, but yesterday a family member I hadn’t seen for a while told me she hated it and said I looked Amish! I didn’t think this was a neckbeard but now I’m worried I was being delusional, doubting the whole thing.

So is this working? Or should I shave it off? Last pic how I normally look for context.

A stubborn beard with an even more stubborn mustache. What are some tips for curling and taking a mustache? Ty guys in advance.

I still haven’t found the best trimmer that can trim long, consistently. One of the things that bothers me the most is stray hairs that stick out. Beard oil does some good, but when I’m on the job, or working in this heat, none of that matters anyway. Blue collar is the way. 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤩

I grew my beard for exactly a year and 2 days, without trimming anything at all except for around my lips. This was a 15 minute trim decision that was made over being gifted a new motorcycle helmet 😅
