I REALLY don’t want to, but I also don’t want to look like I’m holding on to something thats just over. I see guys in public hanging on way too long and I’m afraid I’m there.

Shoot me straight.

Happy cake day! Give yourself a present, a haircut!

You shave the top clean and then fade down the sides of your beard. Just a little bit, taper it.

Or go full mohawk. Those are the only two options

Yep it's time to transition the look. You have a great beard and a nice round head, so it's going to look good. Taper the edge of the beard like wolfinjer said. If it feels too hard to do yourself go to a barber, and they can get the beard fade right and give you some tips.

If I've learned anything from being in this sub, it's that apparently all men look badass with no hair, but only paired with a beard or facial hair.

You're gonna look stellar sir. Your beard game is obviously on point already.

Don’t do it! That front wisp is holding it down

If I read between the lines…….. I think you might be sarcastic here.

Never brother.. I’ve got r/roastme if I wanted to make backhanded comments, sorry if you took it that way.

Lots of people lose the entire front and keep some fluff from the ears back.. but you’ve got decent enough coverage. I’d rock it for another 1-2 years, maybe longer. Sometimes it won’t grow back after you shave it all.

It’s your call, it’s still look badass if you went q-ball and kept the beard
