Stunning profile shot you have, makes a great avatar. RE: your comment about the length, go with the measurements, not what you are looking at in the mirror. From my perspective, yours is a long beard, not just the start of one. No, you and I don't have beards half way to the floor, but they are still considered long

"ONCE men sang together 'round a table in chorus; now one man sings alone, for the absurd reason that he can sing better. If scientific civilization goes on (which is most  improbable) only one man will laugh, because he can laugh better than the rest."
