It seems like you can grow a great beard so I'm not sure why you would be worried about it. I'm trying to get a headstart on No-shave November too, but
I wish I could grow half of what you can. Don't be ashamed, wear it proudly my friend

No doubt about it: you have all the follicles you need, in all the right places. You're going to have an excellent beard.
Are these pics from your past experiments or a current run? If they're current, keep growing; if not, get started. The only tip I'd offer is for the neckline: make sure that your beard completely covers the jawbone, including underneath it. You may have done that already, but it's hard to tell from the photo. Welcome, MC! |

I have to agree with FlannelRoad, you have great beard potential. Give it time and you can have any beard style you want. Just 2 comments from my point of view; how come you are shaving the stache? You second pic suggests you can grow a good, thick stache too. I would suggest it is worth growing the stache in, at least for a few weeks to see how the overall beard shapes up. Also I think you have the neck line a bit too high. In my personal view it would look better if you let it grow down an inch or so. I hope my comments are not seen as being too critical, but you did ask for opinions. I look forward to seeing your progress towards full beardom, keep us updated. |

Looks as if you have all the potential for growing a great full beard, muchocabron, but I have the same question as FlannelRoad. Is your first pic of your
beard as it is now, or is it from one of your past experiments?
Keep growing. Get bearded! wulff |

With you shaping the beard so early in the process, anybody asking "Did you forget to shave?" is either just teasing you or doesn't have both
oars in the water
 .
Think of a good comeback and commit to a date that you'll not reshape it until then. Remember the 24 hour rule...no matter how much you might want to shave, give yourself at least one additional day to think about it. Come here and tell us why you want to shave. Chances are the feeling will pass. Good luck! I love the photographs...obviously you are an artist!
Patience shall be rewarded!

Hey man, Looks like you could have a really cool looking full beard, if you keep your will and not let others shave your face for you!

Welcome to the Board first off...and it looks like you've got thick hair growth at least near the jaw line and chin area. Anyone who decides to grow a
beard must be strong. People can harass you to no end. I've worn a beard off and on for many years and today our condo's property manager was
harrassing me about my beard. 'You should shave that short...you look like a bum.' It's that kind of talk that discourages men from growing beards
in the first place. It is your face and your beard. Stay strong and reslient and you will be happily rewarded! Beards are good things indeed! It's one of
the few things that men alone can do.. No woman (well maybe some Italian women) nor boy can grow a beard. So grow on buddy, grow on!
 'There are two kinds of people in this
world that go around beardless - boys and women, and I am neither!
