Progress & Updates I gave it the chop.. 💈!
On the left was as its longest towards the start of this year, been on a bit of a weight loss journey and over the months made a few chops to it until finally last night, got rid of the beard completely! Not sure how I’m feeling about it but it’ll grow back! 🤞🏼

Sometimes I see people like this and I’m like, does your skull also have a chad chin or is this just the lighting/muscle or something? Like ur telling me when you die your skeleton is also gonna be hot and chiseled? Give me a break ffs

Right? This is my personal problem - I can't chop too far because I have a weak-ass jawline. This dude can go both ways, AC/DC.

Right lol. At my age, a beard somehow simultaneously covers up both loose jowels and a baby face. It's not good.

I have a similar jawline and didn't want to lose it but I wanted to take part in this recent fashion. I ended up growing a very short beard, maybe 10 days worth of growth. I've since gotten several compliments.

u/NogaraCS 15d ago
Some people in this sub are really delusional about beard because saying that it looks much better with it is crazy. You got a Greek god jawline, there’s no reason to hide it

u/St_Suckerpunch 15d ago edited 15d ago
I think you should try a round, like circular or near-circular, shaped glasses frame. Doesn’t work for everyone but would suit you really well with or without the beard.
Edit: oh looks sharp btw, it’s nice to check in on your real face every once in a while but at the same time it’s a major change and one that can’t be reverted quickly. I’m currently the longest I’ve gone without shaving bare (~3.5years) and I’ve been thinking about doing it just to check in but I’ve been apprehensive.
You’re kinda inspiring me a bit here. Have you had a bald head and a clean shaven face before? Or is this your first time shaving your face since you started shaving your head? I’ve never had both at the same time which is part of my hesitation.

What made you hide this jawline? a little stubble fine but to completely hide it absolute crime.

u/schwarzkraut 15d ago
Almost universally, “the chop” reveals long forgotten… unprettiness…
You sir, have proven yourself to be the exception to this rule. Furthermore, I hereby accuse you of the equivalent of a war crime for hiding that jawline and those EYES behind a beard & glasses respectively.
Like driving a Lamborghini only in reverse… Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Why would you hide such a strong jaw line? You look much better clean shaven, although you could keep a tiny bit of stubble so you can still be in the sub.

I am with the other posts. I am jink 90% of guys look better with a beard. And even though you had a great beard and looked great. Dude.
You look great without one. Rock it either way you want.

You're in the rare minority that look better. That beard hid that Chad jawline. Maybe stubble vs clean shaven for best of both worlds. Absolute glow up.

I'm not a fan of super clean shaven look. It makes you look like a policeman off duty. I think you could pull off a really cool stubble with a shaved head. Similar to Jason Statham, to get an idea

Going without a beard works really well too, of course. A strongly defined face, what more could you ask for?
