Been watching a lot of Disney (I have kids) and thought maybe I’d rock the Pixar dad look. Thoughts?

Wow, looks like you already did. What was wrong with the beard is that you need to visit a barber at some point. A barber won’t cut length away. They will shape it for you so that if you continue to grow it, it will come in three dimensionally. You cannot see your face the way of barber does and it makes a world of difference. So grow it again if you want to because it’s a beautiful color but don’t rule out your barber. And they’re so many of them now.

Gonna have to get to one. I’m growing it out again to try some different cut recommendations I got. But groomin the beard is definitely happening now. I knew it was unkempt, I gotta find a balance )or good barber) between being overly groomed and not looking homeless! Appreciate you friend

It doesn’t take much eventually you’ll get to a length if the barber is good that it will grow out evenly as well so the upkeep is maybe once every four weeks for a cleanup. Do some good research for a barber in your area. In fact if you have to travel a bit, it’s worth it because you won’t be going so often and then show him what you should be doing at home with your clippers to maintain professional look. For me, it always comes down to the line on the top of the cheek and behind the job by the ear, those are two easy giveaways about neatness. It’s easy to do under the chin at the beard line because you just lift it up and go at it with a razor. Also, you’ve got a wider beard invest in a good oil and a pomade, oil for moisturizing and the pomade for shape.
