@Dirk
I know Dirk, I am way too self-critic. As you know, the tatts and tunnels are over 10 years old. So I am already used to it and they just belong to me. The beard is new and I think I just need more time to accept it the way it is and that it is a part of me. I am also a very perfectionist and impatient person.
I ordered some new beard grooming stuff this weekend. A wide tooth comb, a bigger boar bristle brush, beard conditioner and some new beard oil. Lets see what it may change.
As my current barbers are still pretty young and dont have beards themself I am not sure that they have enough experience. So I searched the Internet and found another Barbershop near me. The Barber is about 40 years old has an awesome long full beard according to his facebook picture (Salah Abduljabar). He also won the title "German Hair-Tattoo champion" once.   I guess he could be the right barber for my beard. I will make an appointment next week for a surface trim to give the beard some shape.

Ein bayrischer Stereotyp bin ich sicher nicht. Trag eigentlich immer Chucks und T-Shirt zur Lederhose. 

Danke für dein Hilfe mein Freund!
Thanks for your help my friend

@swerveball
Thank you bro! The microscope I am using is the "Bavarian-Schnauzer-Analyzer 5.0". Well I just spend to much time to close in front of the mirror I guess. The noob mistake number 1. I really dont feel the urge to shave! I know I would regret it.
Beard on brother, you doing great!

@gato
Thank you for your advice Sir! I will visit a barber next week and do exactly what you said. I wont allow him to touch the stache!

@Donnie
Thanky you very much for you kind and encouraging words mate! I will grow the beard out more and see if I like it more. Hope my boss wont get angry

@smedstad
Thank you too Sir. Yes Dirk is right. I am not 100% sure yet what to do with my haircut.

As I did get some positive comments from some friends during the weekend I feel better. They made some positive comments and jokes: "You can play Santa for our son on Christmas!" , "You always smile with the stache" , "It really suits you" , "You look like a Ol´Chap".
One of my friends, who has really awesome dense coverage was envy because his wife doesnt "allows" him to grow his beard out. She said to him: "If you grow your beard out, I will shave it while you sleep" image
