I mean, I’m all in for a beard comparison.
Quality bearding takes work. Some good specimens so far.
I guess you can’t really see the bottom line due to length, but i keep it trimmed to my adam’s apple.
I agree with the criticism that Vance’s is too high. His beard fullness is pretty good though.
Marx notoriously never bathed. Imagine how bad that beard stunk.
This is how I feel, Im terrified of shaving it all off.
I did once during covid. I look like Mitch McConnell. It was legitimately depressing. Never again.
Yea if this is a bad beard I’m fucked. Mine looks like this with a little less coverage
Not really. Apparently you just have to shave less somewhere in the chin/neck area and it becomes hypermegaelite.
I’m sure one of the beardmeisters around here could tell you exactly what you need to do for beard greatness.
I don’t like the straight across the cheek line like this. I always dip down some, and it migrates between beard trimmings.
I also do a fade from the sideburns to the chin. So I do the sideburns with a 1, then do a thin strip at a 2, then another thin strip at a 3, etc.
I usually hit the chin by 5, then always do the chin at 8.
As far as the jawline, I start about where Vance’s is on the outside, then do a line from there to make a point under the chin (with the line coming from the other side) that goes in pretty deep, much deeper than his here. I definitely don’t leave any hair on the neck just below the chin.
And I keep below the lower lip trimmed super short and trim back around the around the upper lip. Don’t like the Chewbacca look.
He’s just trimming everything at a 3 or 4 and calling it a day.
Beards way too much work, imo.
Just shaving 4-5x/wk seems way easier. Approximately zero thought required.
Beardbros,
Can we safely assume that JD isn’t doing his own beard and has some sort of professional barber maintaining that shit.
I cannot grow facial hair and am feeling very excluded. Where my patchy bros at?
Yes but when you look like Mitch McConnell w/o a beard, it’s pretty much mandatory.
Barbers don’t know shit about beards unless they specialize in it. They’re just giving him a uniform trim with tight edges (but in the wrong places imo).
You really need to go to a hairdresser and a beard barber if you’re going to be running for VPOTUS.
I’m having a hard time imagining bearded Mitch and determining if that is actually any better.
Sounds like a job for AI.
I don’t doubt that, but a douchebag of JD’s stature surely has access to the elitest of barbers that the District of Columbia has to offer.
And they’re making aesthetically questionable choices. He should go to Travis Kelce’s beard person. That’s who I model mine after.
I would fucking hope so. If I had the cash, I would have it barber tamed every 2 weeks.
I find shaving annoying so I just let it grow and deal with the patchiness. One of the benefits of always wearing a mask at work during the pandemic was letting it grow in past the awkward phases without anyone really seeing it.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve shaved, nor do I ever let it grow out to beard length. I just use a clipper every 7-10 days b/c I think I look best with a bit of stubble and also it’s incredibly low maintenance like this.
Even that would not be possible for me, there are large swaths of my face where literally no hair grows. And even where it does grow it is sparse. After a few days I look unwell.
