A lot of beards have been taking into the Nu-male look. Beards aren't bad, but when you're like OPs picture, then you need to stop.

>>11750993
Some big beards are incredibly effay, but yeah, when it's too sculpted or combined with vests, flatcaps, and bow ties it completely defeats the purpose. You have to look masculine to pull it off. Also, having thicker eyebrows is almost a necessity.

I'm not a huge fan of the really big beards but if it's what you like, cool, wear it.
None of the little guys on campus can grow anything decent, but the guys who can have mostly been doing the short beard or stubble that I've seen.

I've never been sure what shape to trim/shave my cheeks; this is my beard at 1/4"-5/8" or so, which is the longest I let it get. Any recommendations? I can take a picture from another angle if needed.

>>11751457
What this >>11751462 anon said. Even long, majestic beards need at least a little maintenance. But most people look better with trimmed (not shaped, trimmed) facial hair rather than an unkempt mess.

>>11751470
Imagine there's a line from the top of where your ear connects with your head to the tip of your mustache. Shave above that line to get rid of the scraggly mess. Other than that, it looks p good.

Peak Beard hit my area (NYC) around 2014, it's now mostly Jersey Shore guido types who wear beards like that. Respectable people still sometimes have beards but they're much less flamboyant and retarded looking.

I can only assume you live in one of those places that's perpetually several years behind the times.
>>11750795
Low test is just memespeak for "I'm fat, ugly, wear shitty clothes, and have lowered my standards in women because I can't get any good looking ones"

>>11750795
This is true. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for body hair production, if no test = no beard.

/fa/ is a bunch of soy eating skinny low test twinky faggots who have never shaved in their life.

>>11752525
Low test isnt a meme bud.

>>11752535
I didn't have a very good beard until I was in my late teens. I ate voraciously, exercised often albeit mostly cardio type activities, and although I did eat a lot of vegetables, I got plenty of meat and milk and eggs in my diet.

It has nothing to do with soy, and everything to do with this board being mostly in high school. I'm not sure what they're teaching you kids in class but those differences you see in your classmates are largely genetic.

>>11752543
Testosterone the hormone and "low test" the meme are completely different things, buddy. Stop believing everything you read on 4chan.

>>11754021
>That looks terrible.

To the people who think you're manly for growing a beard:

On the left is Army Sgt. Clint Romesha, a Medal of Honor recipient. He is a warrior, and his story will be passed on for generations. He has pushed his body and mind to its absolute limits. He is the definition of what it means to be a man.

On the right is a picture of you. You are pasty, white, slightly overweight, and are prematurely balding. You have a degree in computer science and are very active on Instagram. You are submissive, passive, and boring, which is why you seek validation from Tumblrinas who get a hard on by seeing millenial tools who grow waxed beards, have quirky tattoos, and sport large-rimmed glasses.

You don't have to be a war hero or manly man to grow a beard. But don't do it for a political reasons. Don't claim you do it because "muh high-test nordic heritage". If you are going to grow a beard to make a statement, make sure you can actually back it up with something.

So I live in central Ontario where a man drives a 4x4 if they're over 12, not on welfare, and heterosexual. Only overcompensating beta males who fall for the OLD SPICE BACON CAMOFLAUGE MANLY MAN meme and drive these shitty ass unreliable Jeep Wranglers have beards.

Do you want to be another beta male driving your wife's kid to the beach in a made-in-mexico 4 door 4x4 mall crawler with unreliable electronics?

No?

Then shave and buy a 1992 Geo Tracker, the official car of /fa/

>>11750758
To me, beards typically only look good on men who already have a masculine face. Eyebrows that are prominent helps.

When a guy with a shitty jawline, or obvious facial fat grows a beard, it looks awful and does not compensate.

Also, they look like complete shit when they are overgroomed. So many men shave the neckline way too high. It looks awful. That along with shaping them so that it is "perfectly" groomed just takes away from the point of even having one.

A bit of scruff and imperfection is better than an overly groomed beard.

>>11754030
That looks good, but it's mostly because it's on tom hardy.

>>11754011
That looks okay, but mostly because it's on Jake gyllenhyllenhylenhalenhall. He still looks better with a more well-taken-care-of beard.

>>11752565
But most people don't have ridiculously good facial structure, so the logical way to add contrast and visual rhythm to your face is to grow facial hair. Not saying it's the most effay, but it usually helps improve how someone looks, and looking the best that you personally can is the most effay thing in the world.

>>11754291
This is partly true. I would argue that it is a good thing to use facial hair to hide the fact that you have a crappy jawline. Look at Gavin McInnes. Not saying he's effay, but good gracious does he look better with a beard than as a bald-faced chinlet. And that's because he doesn't sculpt or shape or create an artificial jawline. He simply uses the hair to break up and alter the silhouette, which is what so much of fashion relies on.

/fa/ggots = homosexual asian teenagers

if everyone has shut the fuck up, I would like to know some basics for beard growth, i'm more than a month along with my beard without any touching up, trimming or product used.

What products should I use in my beard?
Is beard oil just a hipster gimmick?
Why the fuck did I just buy a safety razor?

>>11754433
dude would look god tier if he just trimmed it down to a normal 1 inch length

>>11754935
>What products should I use in my beard?
None. Just condition it in the shower just like you should be doing with the rest of your hair. Avoid shampoo if you don't want to risk dandruff (yes you can get it on your beard too).
>Is beard oil just a hipster gimmick?
Yes.
>Why the fuck did I just buy a safety razor?
You can trim up loose hairs on your neck and cheeks. If your beard is messy and travels too far down your neck, it tends to give off the impression of a basement-dweller beard instead of a macho man beard.

>>11754977
Already conditioning so i'll trim it later tonight, thanks anon

As long as your beard doesn't look like shit, go for it.

>>11756681
weight lifting is big in "yuppie hugbox" places. the difference is that we eat real food not HFCS crap, so aesthetics is considered a thing. unlike /fit/ obese hamplanet mode where all that matters is your leg press and bench. we use actual squat racks here and isolation work isn't unheard of because when your bodyfat is low you can actually have a hope of looking good

How do you take care of your beard?

I have this nasty infection on my jaw that had to be healed with antibiotics and cleaning alcohol. One thing that I'm sure of is because I had a beard for two months, but I don't know if it was caused by improper care, bad products or something else. I washed regularly with some homemade beard soap and used beard oil to keep it soft.

>>11767732
Probably bad products.
The best way is to wash it every single day with a glycerin soap, those with no scent at all. Also, brush and comb 2 to 3 times a day, and be careful when using beard oil at daytime, there are some essential oils that react badly to direct exposure to sunlight and can cause problems to your beard and face skin.

how do you properly trim your beard? Could use some guidlines for the neck and what to do when your beard is to long for the trimmer

>>11760306
You look like a serial killer...

>>11761719
This pisses me off for the same reason "guilty pleasure" movies and music pisses me off.

If you like something, be it listening to Aqua, watching Renee Zellwigger movies, or getting fucked in the ass, fucking enjoy it. It's your problem for feeling bad for enjoying, not mine.

My friends and family all tell me I look better with facial hair, but I have a problem with it: the moustache and beard never really connect. The square centimeters of skin on either side of my mouth just doesn't grow any hair at all. Is this a problem? Should I keep growing? Right now I just leave it at kind of a stubble and trim it down whenever it gets too crazy.

>>11768541
this is a huge problem. one of the biggest problems actually with beards. the other would be the hair on your cheeks doesn't grow high enough on your face and you look like a terrorist. don't even try to grow a beard if your shit can't connect. it looks dumb as fuck.

>>11768589
God fucking dammit, really?
I hate this. It's like, two goddamned square centimeters of face, one spot on each side of my mouth, that just doesn't grow hair. The rest of it grows in perfectly. Fuck this, m8.

Advice on maintaining proper stubble, then? I've been kind of running it over with the trimming attachment on an electric razor which seems to do all right. Neck gets itchy if I don't shave it clean entirely though.

>>11768604
You know there are products for your problem, right?

>>11768684
Like what?
I'd rather not dye my peach fuzz there darker but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered it. Do you mean like some kind of hair-growth product? It was my impression that those were all scams for balding guys.

I'm 22 by now. Will my beard still growing as I age to fill up those parts?
Or my beard genetics won't gonna change that much in the future?

I always wondered until which age the facial hair keeps growing.
