I have been letting the stubble grow for about 10 days now, and am thinking about only shaving one more time after getting "Perfect Sideburns" for Christmas, so that I can shape the beard again. Here's a link to what I am referring to: Perfect Sideburns So my question is...Does anybody like the idea of having stubble and/or neck stubble with a beard style? I'm thinking about 3-4 weeks of stubble with my naturally high neck stubble accompanying my goatee, maturing 'stache, and sideburns. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sorry to nag, but I wouldn't mind some opinions on the idea of sporting stubble with a facial hair style.

I'm personally not so crazy however about some sort of mixed beard/stubble combo. Grow it or don't in my opinion. Try it and see how it looks. I'd be interested. See if you can change my mind.

For a while, I didn't think stubble and beard worked together either, but then I remember several months back or perhaps even a year ago, Thai Beard was sporting a thick Goatee/Mustache with stubble, and it was extremely cool. I couldn't help but be inspired by that. I wish I could find a picture of it.

Mind you, my stubble isn't all that great, but I found that my goat looks more defined when the rest is clean shaven. I'm with Red on this one. I'd be willing to keep an open mind and see what you come up with, but from what I've seen from my own experience is that the stubble distracts from the real growth. What were you thinking of, shaping the stubble into a specific style, or just letting it all grow to a certain length?

Seeing as how MikeCaprice and dpaquin tried the stubble and beard out, (by the way, excellent looking stubble/beard combo, Mike) I think I may try all-natural stubble with my goat sometime as well. I'm still not 100% sure yet, but I'm very tempted to.

If the hair is dark, the effect is more positive because the visibility is greater, but anyone who has a thick beard can pull off stubble and facial hair in combo quite easily and it does look fantastic.

He pulls this look off very well with his goatee (sometimes Van Dyke) Really cool style if you ask me.

Thanks guys, and great photo example. I don't think many guys with both red hair and beard try the stubble, except Chuck Norris. Which makes it that much more tempting.
