I'm 22 and I don't really have much facial hair. Guy on the picture has more or less the same amount I do (I have a bit less than him near the chin and more on the sideburns).
When going out, should I just shave it all, partially shave or just keep it that way? I feel like I become a 16 year old boy when I shave but I'm not sure what people think of my facial hair.

mate, I'm 22 and i dont even grow half that amount.
>>16908480
Oh and I guess shaving the neck is a given right
>>16908480
what you wanna do is get out your tweezers
pluck approximately 50% of your facial hair evenly
after having done this, grow your beard out long and continue to pluck occasionally
women love a man with a see-through beard

Are you just fucking with me or is everything I know about beards wrong?

Lifelong beardguy who hasn't been clean-shaven since the age of 14 here - trim up the sideburns and cheeks, leave the jawline and mustache alone. You'll look great!

Trim or shave?

>Should I shave this or not?
Yes. That doesn't look like you've decided to grow facial har, but like you lost your razor and can't get a new one till payday. As a general rule if you have to ask if your beard/stubble look ok that automatically means it doesn't.
>>16908804
Shave it back a bit, yeah. You want to get it off your cheeks entirely and trim the sideburns so that they're nice and shaped.
>>16908835
Something like this? I'm pretty sure I'll just end up shaving everything before I leave tonight, but I don't mind experimenting.
>>16908707
If by "going out" you mean a date, then definitely do shave. It looks scruffy. I know what you mean by "looking like a 16 y.o. boy when shaved", but the truth is, sporting this kind of shitty stubble telegraphs "I'm an insecure guy that tries to look more manly" to women which is even worse. I have the same kind of shitty facial hair and I'm over 30 so I know what I'm talking about.
>>16908862
Bingo. I like it! Goes good with your haircut.
Don't listen to the people knocking it for being "Stubble" or "Scruffy." Not every guy has a thick, full beard right away, but yours is well past the scraggly/sparse stage where I would recommend you just shave it for later. I think it provides a good facial balance as it is now.

Thanks, man. I think I'll go like that tonight, then. It's not really a date so I guess it's as good of an opportunity as any to try this out.
