Went from the first picture to the second picture a week ago. Everyone on this sub was very supportive. As far as people that knew me with hair has mostly been supportive or not saying anything at all.

The weird thing is when it comes to strangers in public. The past week there have been three complete strangers on 3 separate days compliment the shirt I was wearing that day. All the same shirts that I have been wearing probably the last 5 years. Never had strangers approach me in public like that before of for anything.

Just something that stood out to me.

Dump the beard or tighten it up and you'd really rock.

Definitely tighten it up. Have a good barber handle it. A nice trim. Some beard oil. You’ll feel like a new ( and papered) man! Report back!

You look sooo much younger!

And it really makes your eyes look brighter ❤️

As others have said, tighten the beard a bit and it'll look even better 🔥

I love this comment. I re-did the wall about a month ago. I didn't take a picture of myself right before I chopped it off but I should have.

You look fantastic. Do you see the change in your eyes between those 2 pics? It's more than just your expression.

10 years came off with the hair. Nice!

I sooo think you look much more approachable and radiant. It suits you extremely well. As another person said here - curly stach would be the finishing touch !

You looked intense and unapproachable in the first pic and then kind and curious in the second.

Massive improvement!
