Well i i've had some great responses overnight so thanks all! I know i am going to get a slightly bias opinion comming to a beard forum and asking 'to shave or no shave!! but that's probably because I already know what i want and just wanted to make sure it was doable
Thanks Mutt i think your right about the cheeks and again, just confirmed what i already thought, now i have a pros opinion i might go ahead and grow the tash & chin and go for the 'devil' look......which i have since googled and i think is knows as the Van Dyke?
Id like it to be noticable but not to long and scruffy as work wont allow it, is now the right time to start shaping it? and continue to let it grow from there? Ill keep a weekly diary too. cheers.
