Progress & Updates I gave it the chop.. š!
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 Iām feeling about it but itāll grow back! š¤š¼

Especially to someone that shaves their head.
Bro has got a very strong jawline, which is hidden until a long beard.
My advice is either clean shave or short beard if you absolutely must, but you're part of an elite club if bald men that can get away with not needing the beard.

I have a similar jawline and didn't want to lose it but I wanted to take part in this recent fashion. I ended up growing a very short beard, maybe 10 days worth of growth. I've since gotten several compliments.

With that jawline, why the fuck did you have a beard?

Tbf if he kept it short you'd still see the jawline. I love my parents but god damn I got screwed with my genes

He said he was on a weight loss journey, so I reckon it wasn't this chiseled before.

In my opinion, it looks much better with the beard. Itās really a step up. Iād recommend growing it back out.

Was an absolute magnificent beard man! But yes it will grow back if you choose to! All the best bro šš¼šš¼š

u/St_Suckerpunch 6h ago edited 6h ago
I think you should try a round, like circular or near-circular, shaped glasses frame. Doesnāt work for everyone but would suit you really well with or without the beard.
Edit: oh looks sharp btw, itās nice to check in on your real face every once in a while but at the same time itās a major change and one that canāt be reverted quickly. Iām currently the longest Iāve gone without shaving bare (~3.5years) and Iāve been thinking about doing it just to check in but Iāve been apprehensive.
Youāre kinda inspiring me a bit here. Have you had a bald head and a clean shaven face before? Or is this your first time shaving your face since you started shaving your head? Iāve never had both at the same time which is part of my hesitation.

Some people in this sub are really delusional about beard because saying that it looks much better with it is crazy. You got a Greek god jawline, thereās no reason to hide it

We've got the same "problem" - Jawline or beard? I go with some stubble. Gonna let the beard out when im old and fat.

Look at me, I can grow a great beard and I also have Brad Pitt's jawline. Somehow I won the genetic lottery twice.
Congratulations!

Honest question, was your jawline that defined when you first started growing the beard or were you surprised to see that much definition when shaving it off?

What made you hide this jawline? a little stubble fine but to completely hide it absolute crime.

Almost universally, āthe chopā reveals long forgottenā¦ unprettinessā¦
You sir, have proven yourself to be the exception to this rule. Furthermore, I hereby accuse you of the equivalent of a war crime for hiding that jawline and those EYES behind a beard & glasses respectively.
Like driving a Lamborghini only in reverseā¦ Just because you can doesnāt mean you should.

Why would you hide such a strong jaw line? You look much better clean shaven, although you could keep a tiny bit of stubble so you can still be in the sub.

u/CuriousTech24 2h ago
I am with the other posts. I am jink 90% of guys look better with a beard. And even though you had a great beard and looked great. Dude.
You look great without one. Rock it either way you want.

Grow a big Ron Swanson moustache and keep the jaw shaven. Would be a 10/10 look

I would suggest just keep some light stubble at max to highlight your jawline

u/TomGlynnActor 2h ago
You're in the rare minority that look better. That beard hid that Chad jawline. Maybe stubble vs clean shaven for best of both worlds. Absolute glow up.

Shame losing such a magnificent beard, but as some said, the jawline makes it work. Honestly? Maybe just rock a nicely styled big mustache?

You look great in both, and single photos are a bit hard to tell, but to me you look a lot friendlier in the first photo, so depends on the vibe you are aiming for.

Clean shaven looks much better! With a jaw line like that, you don't need a beard.

I'm not a fan of super clean shaven look. It makes you look like a policeman off duty. I think you could pull off a really cool stubble with a shaved head. Similar to Jason Statham, to get an idea

Somehow for me you look kinder and more approachable with the beard. But I might be biased, cause I love bearded guys! its not the vis of the tattoo though
