Beardless

See how a beard dies.

I seriously loved the Mutton Chop look. if/when I next get the chance to grow a lot of facial hair, mutton chops will be the one.

Let me know what you think.

Kind of a cool idea taking the beard off in stages and documenting the various beard/mustache looks along the way. Overall, I think the beardless look works well on you. You've got a good chin, and the lack of one is often what guys grow beards to cover up.

BTW, what are "regulation sideburns"? Are you in the military? And are sideburns not supposed to be below mid-ear?

Maybe that's why I like the mutton chop look, both beard and chin in one.

I'm an Officer Cadet in MSUOTC, and I finish my years leave in october, so yes, I'm in the military, but as close to a civvie as you can get (non-deployable, occasionally unpaid, training only). Yes, Side burns are to the mid ear, or higher.

@AnnikaGarratt

And that's partly why I wouldn't have been able to pull it off, no way am I in mercury's leauge of awesome to get away with the moustache he did.

Well, it's not bad... but I still don't think that I can take a beardless man seriously on such matters as pounding sinew, for example.

Alas, I feared such a situation. Already people IRL have remarked how much more geeky and less parinoid survivalist I look.

I recommend, Native Survival and Wilderness Outfitters, both of whom have decent, trustworthy beards.

You look like you should work in a bank now for some reason :P

@TheBoyFromNorfolk yeah nobody can do that! :D

"You have to reach into your pocket instead of stroking your beard"? LOL. Mind boggles :-) You look SO much better smooth. Tho I don't "do" hairy unless really neat.

When I started growing it, I grew it out as a soul patch, then goatee, then the full beard, looking at my old video's is quite interesting to see the progress. I shaved it off in reverse (ish, I didn't try the shaved mustache full beard look).

It's my face, but the officer training corps. decide what facial hair I can have :D
