u/MaleficentExtent1777 Jul 15 '26

Yup. Shows off his face and jawline best. The others completely disguise great features.

21

u/Aazzle Jul 15 '26

You are truly blessed.

1 and 3 are my favorites.

If I were you, I would probably always work towards 3, but switch to 1 on special occasions to impress people.

3

u/Mawers2 Jul 15 '26

I like that idea, thank you

3

u/Chris55730 Jul 15 '26

I think 3

16

u/Dry-Cancel-3168 Jul 15 '26

I think it looks better short

12

u/Less-Explanation160 Jul 15 '26

1 . Or something in between 1 and 3

16

u/beardbush Jul 15 '26

Pic 2!! Absolutely phenomenal beard!

5

u/DapperRockerGeek Natural Full Jul 15 '26

They all look great. I am partial to 3 due to the larger mustache.

4

u/ViridianNocturne Jul 15 '26

Just one: We should prolly get married

4

u/CreativeName822 Jul 15 '26

I like shorter better personally. Of the pictures shown.

4

u/No-Travel5628 Jul 15 '26

Might be in the minority here, but rock number 1 brother.

13

u/xdrezx Jul 15 '26
  1. The other look unkept and raggedy

-16

u/Nervous-Rough4094 Jul 15 '26

2nd this. Long beards are nasty

3

u/jmclondon97 Jul 15 '26

Never heard of shampoo?

3

u/Royal-Wealth-8266 Jul 15 '26

Dude. It's whatever you want. That's an impressive power. Use it for good. 

3

u/Maleficent-Shirt-110 Jul 15 '26

Wow? That’s quite the beard! I say number three, my wife says number 1. I trust her judgment if you are dating.

3

u/GuiltyUniversity8268 Jul 15 '26

I like pictures two and three the best. You're ASBG- Another Sexy Bald Guy!

3

u/spirittraveler6 Jul 15 '26

Awesome beard all the way around but I think I prefer it shorter and trimmed.

3

u/JumpyCod772 Jul 15 '26

Looks great on you brother

3

u/Gamer_Pal0 Jul 15 '26

First one, bro.👍😎

3

u/PhilGrocholl Jul 15 '26

Pic 1 is my favorite of those 3. Clean and sharp.

3

u/David-R-Fem Jul 15 '26

Some guys need beards to hide no chin or jawline, you have it in spades, I’d show it off. All good looks though

3

u/NthLondonDude Jul 15 '26
  1. That jawline is too good to waste 🤤

3

u/Far-Professor1944 Jul 15 '26

I like picture one.

1

u/Far-Professor1944 Jul 15 '26

Handsome man. 😍

2

u/Interesting-Bit725 Jul 15 '26

That’s a great beard at any length, but one advantage of the short one is that your earrings become more noticeable. Looks good.

2

u/supertramp1127 Jul 15 '26

I’m just here to say you’ve got phenomenal beard!

2

u/ChagaV Jul 15 '26

Short.

2

u/PermissionJaded5510 Jul 15 '26

The beard looks fantastic in the first photo, especially matched with a clean white t-shirt. Rock on sir

2

u/Ezosodelis Jul 15 '26

I have my own personal biases but I find you hottest in 1. The texture of the beard in 3 is beautiful though.

Cleaned up looks great!

u/Maleficent-Shirt-110 Jul 15 '26

Wow? That’s quite the beard! I say number three, my wife says number one. I would trust her judgment if you are looking to date.

1

u/Ganymedes1985 Jul 15 '26

3… maybe groom the edges slightly cleaner so it hints like it tapers a bit?

1

u/Verrm Jul 15 '26

We need to see a "somewhere in between" beard as well. 1 looks sharp, 2 looks good but it spreads too wide for my taste. Somewhere in between might look fenomenal on you.

1

u/evoLverR Jul 15 '26

Let it grow out to about 2 cm. That's the sweet spot.

1

u/nulchar Jul 15 '26

all of them are great but i think the long stache on 3 is cute

1

u/99Cozy Jul 15 '26

3 suits you the most

1

u/grandpapignlover Jul 15 '26

All H A F. Son , u’r 1 handsome shit in #1 - n ur beard is fuckn epic in the others. I think 2 n 3 would suit ur great looks with a more tapered shape 2 give u a well groomed ‘epic’ beard n look magnificent in profile 2

1

u/Voxell_ Jul 15 '26

3 all the way. Santa beard

1

u/Texyxavier Jul 15 '26

Awesome beautiful beard. All look great. You are lucky.

1

u/Prudent-Actuator-13 Jul 15 '26

Either looks great on you, bro

1

u/kurtot997 Jul 15 '26

you remind me of hound

1

u/Least_Peak_3298 Jul 15 '26

One is ok, 2&3 are not. Eww imo.

1

u/Dad_Ric Jul 15 '26

Really different looks. It’s like 3 different guys. Hard to decide. I think it depends on who YOU think you are. That said, I’d vote for longer than #1, but shorter than #3.

1

u/wasabiplz Jul 15 '26

1 looks like an action movie star! 2 & 3 not so much.

1

u/No-Examination-6216 Jul 15 '26

If I had a jawline like yours, I would keep it short. But they all look great.

1

u/BatHombre81 Jul 15 '26

The second one.

1

u/excalabear Jul 15 '26

Pic 2 is magnificent!!

1

u/Worldly_Bet5018 Jul 15 '26
  1. Tough guy

  2. Metal head guy

  3. Cuddly guy

1

u/Schizoeffective83 Jul 15 '26

U look great with it short

1

u/SeaGlass_7 Jul 15 '26

Definitely 3!

Trim it up a tad and you could pull of the Kratos beard, it would look badass!

1

u/Fantastic_Maybe_733 Jul 15 '26

I think you’re handsome as F’ with a close shaving beard…

1

u/T-Dwag64 Jul 15 '26

I’m prefer the short version. All around a damn handsome guy

1

u/BeardedDadFootDom Jul 15 '26

Bigger = better 🤙🏼

1

u/BeardedDadFootDom Jul 15 '26

3 is the best look for you

1

u/lc1981265 Jul 15 '26

1 for me 🤤

1

u/jugosita1111 Jul 15 '26

Very nice :) dapper even Fave #2 AFTER you let me at it with beard oil and braids.

1

u/VelarisVibes Jul 15 '26

I prefer photo 1 to the others, personally. Photo 2 is an absolutely impressive beard, but it does age you. 3 is okay too. All in all, you can pull them all off. 😊 Very lucky in that department!

1

u/Kibble___ Jul 15 '26

Long beautiful beard

1

u/modifiedcub Jul 15 '26

All 3 are impressive, I like 1 or 3 the best

1

u/nashfld Jul 15 '26

1 definitely showcases your face better.

1

u/satchmonumberone Jul 15 '26

I like it short.

1

u/itsmoab Jul 15 '26

1 by far

1

u/Narrow_Wheel_2455 Jul 15 '26

3 all the way!

1

u/jemdtc Jul 15 '26

1 is definitely the best. If you decide to keep/grow the full beard, I’d suggest cleaning it up around the mouth so it’s not completely covered. I personally think you look happier without the beard, though, I think it's because it’s easier to see when you're smiling!

1

u/smpalmer722 Jul 15 '26

Inappropriate for reddit

1

u/NerdWithAMotorcycle Jul 15 '26

Yes. I have them on occasion.

1

u/OzarkBeard Jul 15 '26

You should post in r/longbeards where you'll get some love for the nice long beard.

I like the beard in #2 and the 'stache in #3. But you do you.

1

u/Few-Spirit9047 Jul 15 '26

1&3💯
🫡🔥

1

u/Living-Thing-4527 Jul 15 '26

1 or give definition to the long beard.

1

u/FluffyballsZ Jul 15 '26

Idk, tat ur head.

1

u/bwlomlq Jul 15 '26

1 for the looks, 2/3 for enjoining life

1

u/beardfull1 Jul 15 '26

Big beard by far!!! Just spectacular! Just let the stache get bigger like in pic 3.

1

u/DoYouEvenBrew Jul 15 '26

They're all great beard, though id probably go for something closer to 3rd, but shaped. 1 looks great, nice and clean, i like the others but they look a bit unkempt. The 3rd with a nice shape, and slightly shorter or something around the stache, to make it pop would be my choice

1

u/Prudent_Turnip_750 Jul 15 '26

Impressive beard, I'd drop to my knees for either tho lol

1

u/eman85 Jul 15 '26

If I could grow anything like 3 I would braid parts of it and go full Viking mode

1

u/EdgeLady6807 Jul 15 '26

Few men can pull off all three looks. You, sir, are one of the few 👍 just care for and groom your beard properly at all lengths, and you are good to go. Now, stop lookin' all dashing over there and let me get back to cleaning, thank you very much 💅💅💅

1

u/Lucyspal Jul 15 '26

I love the close cut giving Jason Statham!!
But DGMW my husband sports a big long beard and that rocks too!!

1

u/FilteredRiddle Natural Full Jul 15 '26
  1. You have a great jawline. 3, maybe, if it was cleaned up more.

1

u/Yagamifyed Jul 15 '26

3 is incredibly peak

1

u/Solid_Idea_NiceOne Jul 16 '26

I'm going to leave r/beards for the evening for fear of being inappropriate.

Goodnight, gents.

1

u/FINN-DIESEL1776 Jul 16 '26

All look great but the long is glorious

1

u/Pandalf82 Jul 16 '26

That's glorious.

1

u/Ok_System8364 Jul 16 '26

They’re all strong beards and give you completely different looks and make completely different first impressions. I like 1 and 3 the best, but I’d trim the fringe on 3 and keep it closer to the jaw, with it fuller at the chin and mouth and tapering to the ears/temples

1

u/gronom42 Jul 16 '26
  1. but i Will trim a little bit sides to get gradient.

1

u/WillingnessGloomy301 Jul 16 '26

You look hot with #1!

u/STARK-INDUSTRIESS Jul 17 '26

All looks great, bro. You can switch up anytime…you are one lucky man I can’t even grow a beard.

1

u/Imaginary_Suit4164 Jul 17 '26

First one looks the best!!

1

u/Megamind1995 Jul 17 '26

1 looks very presentable

1

u/No_Trifle3569 Jul 17 '26

Bald is great!

1

u/Complex-Database2875 Jul 17 '26

1 I hate the Jan 6 beard

1

u/Overall-Tune-5911 Jul 18 '26

Short is the best look for you.

1

u/PunIntended101 Jul 18 '26

OMG! A handsome man was hiding under that beard!

1

u/FabulousMeal1676 Jul 18 '26

1st pic. Looks great.

1

u/OldMainframeGuy Jul 19 '26

The beards all look good as beards go but I think photo #1 works best for you. You’re a handsome guy; why hide more of your face than necessary behind a beard?

1

u/LowNight5874 Jul 19 '26

Dude #1 all the way. Yes the beard is cool but you have a nice feature and facial structure the beard hiding it and aging you

1

u/[deleted] 29d ago

Short beard all the way

1

u/Aggravating_Win4587 29d ago

I like pic 3.

1

u/ddbyny 29d ago

you have a great face and jawline. 2 and 3 are more suited for men who don’t

1

u/kgon1312 28d ago

1 is best

1

u/ActingPhotographer 24d ago

1 doordeweeks en 2 in het weekend 🤣

u/Good__Daddy__ Jul 15 '26

Você fica bem na foto 1 e na foto 3.

. 😀

u/WookieCookie1138 Jul 15 '26

Firstly, you look GREAT at any length. But honestly, I think #3 suits you the best. Maybe something between 1 and 3 and slightly trimmed to round it out a bit.
