22M, about 3 weeks of growth, longest I've gone without shaving.

Photos are front, both sides and under the chin, all from today. Under the jaw and along the jawline it's filling in well, but I've got a few questions:

Curl: it's very curly and wiry at this length. Does this relax as it gets longer, or should I expect it to stay like this? Currently using beard oil and moisturiser, planning to add a balm and a boar-bristle brush.

Chin and moustache: the centre of the chin and the moustache are lighter and thinner than the sides. Is that likely to fill in with time, or is it worth shaping around it?

Line-up: seeing my barber Saturday. My plan is to ask him to clean up the cheek line and neckline but keep the length. Is that the right call at 3 weeks, or should I let it grow longer before shaping?

Cheek line: the upper cheeks are a bit wispy. Natural line or a lower, sharper one?

Any advice appreciated, cheers.

This is my beard currently, i turned 21 last month. Was wondering if the coverage looks good enough to keep. I feel like in some areas my hair is thin so it looks patchy/ skin is visible underneath. Other places like the connection of my moustache to the beard were trimmed recently but I wonder if i should try growing that part out or not. My moustache feels like my biggest weak point here, the hair seems thin compared to everything else so I dont know whether the beard is worth keeping right now.

Hello, i'm italian and last week I shaved my head for the first time after 2 years of buzzcut -yeah I was balding.

I used to have a full beard (almost 2cm) then I changed work and they asked me to go for a shorter beard (Im close to a lot of food and drinks so I understand).

At the moment I have a beardstache style. 2nd pic Is a IA simulation with a short full beard.

Any advice? Thank you

I have recently been trying to have a shorter beard. Easier maintenance and I realize that I just don't vibe with the lumberjack style. I tried trimming it down to 16mm last week and it looked fine. This week I tried it again (to 16mm , and I just can't get it to look right. It seems fine from the front, but when I see the profile view it is obvious I must have messed up somewhere down the line. I kind of hate it?

Is there anything I can do to touch it up? Or do I just have to choose between shaving it off or toughing it out for two weeks?

As the title suggests, I was trimming my nose hair and using this like Eletric trimmer and didn’t realize I was moving it around on my mustache. Looking for others who might have done something similar to this and what did you do. I’ve had my mustache since 2021 and always trimmed it but haven’t had a shave since then. I’ve attached a photo for reference. With it being Sunday, I’m probably going to work tomorrow like this but I may have to figure something out this week lol
Thanks all

*looking at the photo, it’s the top right lol

Hi guys, should reduce the beard or leave more grow ?
