not shaving a thin beard

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
To make this quick, I can't decide if having a few days of growth looks good on me or not. My beard is pretty thin on my cheeks, but its much thicker on my chin. I've always though it looks kind of lame to try to wear a beard before it's developed fully; thin beards look pretty akward. This past month I saw a model in GQ (i think) with a very thin beard, with probably two days growth, and it looked good on him.

The reason this is so important is that my jawline has no definition. I'm not sure why this is, but it makes my face look very weird, almost like you cant tell where my face ends and my neck begins. My hair is dark, so it kind of outlines my face in a very flattering way. At the same time my chin is a little weak, and it helps with that too. It's gotten to the point where my perceptions have changed enough that I don't like the way i look clean shaven, although I dont have a beard trimmer so I try to shave at night at least, when I have to. Right now I have about 4 days growth, and thats about where I'll draw the line and decide to shave again. By the way, im 21, and while my dad wears a beard, I dont think my grandfather on my mothers side did, so im not sure what beard genetics I have.

chances are people wont be able to judge without a pic, but from you describe it sounds like a beard may be good for you. Keep in mind that a lot of women don't like them though, none that I have ever been with have had anything but hatred for facial hair. I've got the same thing where my chin grows in fastest and thickest, I think it's pretty normal. As I've gotten older the sides of my face are starting to come in the same as it does on my chin though.
