3 months of growth, does this work on my face? Would shaving make me look any younger/older? Appreciate any tips and advice!

It’s been two weeks since I shaved it and my wife and kids and some friends are asking me to grow it back. Is this a common thing?

Never let my beard grow in the past. I usually shave it after 1-2 weeks.

Sometimes I feel like I might be above average and get a confidence boost trying to convince myself. Though I don't feel good about myself most of the time. I don't have constant self esteem.

I always thought there could be some room to improve myself in certain aspects, so I tried different hair styles, different facial hair and all that. But despite that I still felt below average.

People in public tend to stare at me A LOT, I mean yes I am self aware maybe a little bit but still I break necks most of the time when I'm walking around whether I'm on college campus or just anywhere.

Anyways back to topic what can I do to improve? I'm always open to suggestions and what you'd see would make a difference. Any grooming tips would help too. Thank you for your opinion. Have a blessed day.

Ps: don't mind any weird poses or backgrounds, idk how to take pics and these are from a day to a month old. Posted a couple to maybe get different povs idk

I’ve been growing out the mustache and goatee since early May. I like either style, but I prefer having some kind of facial hair even though it’s not real thick. 21
y/o, give me your honest opinions please.

edit: i posted a better clean shaven picture in the comments

Thinking of upgrading my appearance, due to dry eyes some days I can't wear glasses, mostly I use contacts. Do blue glasses suit me? Also what other types of glasses look good on me? Currently looking to buy those black ray ban's (last photo)

Any advice is welcome, thanks in advance!

I hope everyone’s doing well!

Sorry in advance about the quality of most of the pics lol. I would appreciate everyone’s feedback on what beard style to stick to as i haven’t really consistently done one specifically. I realize obviously that one does not necessarily need to stick to a single specific style but i would like to hear your thoughts regarding keeping it on the thicker side, average length or trimmed lightly while keeping the mustache. What leads to my confusion is my beard being quite thinner and patchier on the cheek area.

Well its still growing, but it would suit me or should I shave it?

What you guys think? Longer/ mid or short ?

Getting tired of having longer hair (1 is current) and feel like going shorter again (similar to 2). Just not sure what to ask for and what suits my face best.

Please give me some opinions. I can’t decide and it’s sending me crazy. Added some pics for reference

Cutting it today so need to decide asap😬

Hi you all!!
You can’t really see it well in the first picture, but the difference between that one and the second is that the first has a fade starting from a 0.5, while in the second they simply cleaned up around the sideburns.

My female friends say the bald look is an absolute NO, while my guy friends couldn’t care less hahaha.
Does being bald really look that bad on me?

Opinions?

The before pics are like 2-3 years old and are very select since I don’t really have many pics where I toile how look without facial hair. Idk if I look dumb with it, though.

Grew out my beard a little. Should I keep it or shave it?
