Is this density of facial hair acceptable to wear in public? I hate shaving, and my time as a neet is coming to an end. I know most people don't give a shit, but I just want to know if the effort is worth it to avoid whatever downsides / inconveniences might come from keeping a shitty beard.
>>24308050
shave it, if it looks like pubes it's not worth keeping
>>24308050
Trim that shit nigga
Your beard may eventually grow fully in, the only way to grow a beard is to not shave, but keep it neat looking I guess.
Sorry bro
It is not
Beards are uncomfortable and itchy as fuck. It's worth shaving off.
Sorry, but no. You need to shave that nasty shit. Give it another 5 years.
This is coming from someone who really likes facial hair too. You just can't do it well as of now.
you dont have the jawline for a pubic beard
>>24308050
That looks terrible OP. Shave it off.
No. But if you still insist to keep it make sure the stache is trimmed to a bit less than the overall "beard"
Like if you trim the beard on 1 then trim the stache on 0.5-0.8
Density doesn't matters if you keep it trimmed.
You're lacking density if you want to keep it long
If your mustache doesn't connect to your beard, you need to kill yourself.
Na man shave it. you look like youre plane crashed and you were stuck in the jungle for a few months or something. just ragged and unkempt.
>>24308050
shave it it isnt even a beard
at the very least shave the cheeks, it looks like you have whiskers
>>24308050
Terrible. Shave it off immediately you tard.
>>24308050
>that facial hair
>>24308050
Do what I do and just don't give two fucks. Let it grow out until it's good. I used to have that , now I have a grand wizard beard and everyone tells me how cool it is.
Also, ignore "shave that shit off" 90's kids. There's nothing wrong with beards if you keep them clean and tidy.
Just trim it. Makes you look much better
>>24308128
>OPs thing
>beard
>>24308136
Still better than babyface fags.
Shaving is also a great way to hurt your skin and getting infections.
Legit question OP, how long have you been growing it out? There's always going to be that awkward ugly stage, much like with hair when you grow it out until it looks alright but if you've passed it, there's not much hope.
How's this beard, robots?
>>24308158
keep going
fuck the robot jic
>>24308158
Lose weight you fat shit
You look disgusting
OP here. I know it doesn't look good. That's not what I'm asking. Clearly it doesn't look good. What I want to know is whether the benefits outweigh the negatives. Will normies go out of their way to be shitty towards me if I don't shave it.
Shave:
+people possibly don't treat me worse
- have to shave
No shave:
+ No irritation and wasted time from shaving every day
- people possibly treat me worse
>>24308158
Looks fine. You need to lose weight tho man. It's for your health
>>24308198
Just trim it. Don't give any fucks about what babyface normies say
>>24308198
I don't think anyone would be purposefully mean, unless you interact with pricks, but everyone will notice, and it's not that they'll be mean to you, as much as they'll see you as off putting, which might make you miss certain opportunities, social and financial.
I have a question: I'm not old enough for a proper beard, but I can see the growth increase. Some hairs are actually red or blond, even though I have dark hair. Is it normal that some beard hairs are less pigmented in the beginning? I'm 21.
>>24308198
no one will care or say anything, but you'd look better if you shaved it.
also, my beard, I just use a beard trimmer on the lowest setting and it takes me like 30s to shave
>>24308245
Friend of mine has dark hair but for some reason he gets mixed dark beard with red hairs.
I don't think beard colour has anything to do with head hair colour
>>24308050
Nah it's not really a proper beard yet you should shave that, you look like an overgrown 14 year old. Unless you live in the country, in which case you're ok.
>>24308245
Its probably the light
My beard looks slightly blonde even though i have dark brown hairs, I know they are all dark brown because when i trim I cant see a single blonde hair in the sink
How would OP keep it trimmed? It doesn't have enough spread to need it, right?
>>24308245
It's normal. My brother's hair is dark brown, and he has a ginger beard. Not sure when it changes, but I suspect it will. Either way, it's awful looking as of now.
>>24308245
ya that's normal. My dad is 50 and his bear is super red even though his hair is black.
>>24308245
yeah, that's just how some beards are. Half of mine is red
shaving your beard is girly, don't do it anon embrace the euphoria
>>24308151
your beard is babyface tier though
>>24308050
Shave, or commit to the beard.
There's always going to be a period between clean-shaven and something actually resembling a beard where it just looks shit.
Either you shave, or you try and persist through that shit facepube period.

>Having a ginger beard
Dont ever grow a beard, you'll look like a complete joke
>>24308317
My story was about my brother. But yes, I completely agree, he looks fucking awful. Glad I don't have a ginger beard, although I'm not much better off being blonde.
>turns into a r8 me thread
why am i not surprised
>>24308157
Nah not really. Don't kid yourself, if you can grow it in dense it will never go through a wirey pube stage. Shaving for a while helps it grow in dense.
>>24308261
you have stubble not a beard
what about this density?
>>24308224
>>24308236
>>24308261
OK, perhaps I phrased that incorrectly or too forcefully. What I mean to ask is whether my life would be noticeably worse (due to the actions of others) if I didn't shave, regardless of whether or not their actions are intentional.
Anyways. I trimmed it.
>>24308452
Looks good to me. Could be denser, but not shameful like OP's.
Don't shave. Looks like you'd have a baby face.
>>24308466
Can't say for certain. I do think it would improve if you shaved it entirely. Applying basic rules of society (attractive people get treated better) it can be assumed you'd be treated better when looking presentable.
It already looks better though.
>>24308480
thanks for the advice. already shaved though. fuck it
>>24308466
Yes, it would be worse. Check your clean-shaven privilege you filthy cis scum.
>>24308501
OK, but if I'm not the most attractive and I'm not the most unattractive, does it really matter exactly where in the middle I fall?
>>24308466
Keep the goatee, lose the other stuff.
>>24308568
Well, looking presentable while average is still better than looking kinda mangy while average.
As long as you keep it at what you just trimmed it to, or less, you should be fine, more than that, and you'll be looked down upon.
Possibly just shave the cheeks entirely, they're the worst part.
>>24308452
Proper
>>24308466
>>24308568
Look if you were my apprentice I would tell you to keep yourself clean shaven until you can grow a proper beard. Pube beards do you no favors. You will be judged to an extent.
You should wait until the hair on your cheeks fill out more OP.
Though as long as you trim it short below your jaw to avoid a bushy neckbeard, most beards would look good.
I found that beards look way worse on pictures like this though.
>>24308050
That's moss bro.
>>24308651
Shut up Oromis
