Any feedback on the grooming?

Need some tips for my beard to make it look good.

I am so happy lads, it does work !!!

Since about 20s I’ve just shaved all the time as it’s always felt untidy. But 31 now and stopped shaving for a month. Will it grow out? Patchy in parts. Got past the itching stage just don’t wanna waste my time by growing it out if it looks silly as I’ve always cleaned shaved. Thanks in advance!

For context this is about a 20 day growth on my cheeks and a 1.5 month growth on my chin, under chin and moustache. I feel like the hair on my cheeks are too thin and wispy and under any harsh lighting it looks insanely patchy. I want to grow it out fully for a long beard but the cheeks are making me hesitate a bit. Should I just grow it out for few more months and see where it goes or just say fuck it and shave it off?

Trying to grow my beard out but unsure if I like it / suits me.

ATM I’m thinking of growing my moustache out (the tails at least) I hope that will connect better as I’m not happy with my gaps.

What do you think?

I need a hair cut I know

2 months in. Hard to make it look good. Just look homeless most of the time

This is 3-4 weeks. Meanwhile I've been trimming the neckline, the moustache (cause i had it already) and a bit the sideburns.

I'm not sure what it looks like overall, I'm wondering if the beard is dense enough on the cheeks or if it is too patchy. Also on the right side it grows in a different direction compared to the left side and it annoys me a bit.

Is there potential to keep going a bit more (will it look too scraggly?) or should I stop here/trim?

Title. Here are 4 different versions of length. As well as the 5th option being just keep growing it and see where it can go if you guys think I can grow from there.

1-2 is 1 month no trimming or shaping

3-5 is shaped and only trimmed around the stache

6-8 is trimmed all over and shaped

9-11 is in length with my hair

Been growing out for a few months now while periodically trimming the denser areas to keep it looking more even since I have some patchy areas. I just feel like it looks messy and uneven still and not like a proper full beard- would maybe pulling down the cheekline make it look fuller or would i have to pull it down too low? Any other general advice or tips?

21M, it’s been 22 days since I shaved, but I’m not really convinced by how it’s looking so far… maybe I just need to wait a couple more weeks?

I’m at a loss. I love facial hair and I never shave but I’m starting to wonder if it would be better if I did. My facial hair is much thicker than it was when I was younger but I worry it still looks like a scraggly teenage beard. Any advice, tips, or tricks? Should I shave it? Should I keep it?
