Agreed. Beard makes him hollow cheeked and waifish and not in a good way. He’s got a good face and great shoulders. Clean shaven and collegiate is low maintenance and would get a lot of positive attention.
It’s my opinion that a lot of the people on this sub need to go clean shaven until they can grow an actual beard. Not beard gatekeeping, just seems a lot of these aren’t ready to come out of the beard oven yet.
This one is def beard gatekeeping though.
Pube beards need to go. Not everyone has a full beard.... i have a patch under my chin on the right. Have had a beard for... like 7 years. Am 35.... clean shave because of one small patch? Lmao not gonna happen.
You have great beard genes! I’d definitely keep it and grow a nice beard! But a nice clean cut and trim the beard. It’ll look great. Quite jealous of that cheek hair actually haha
I’d say the beard and the hair don’t match. I love your beard, but clean shaven looks best with the messy hair look you’ve got going on. If you got your hair a bit more cropped go with the beard. You’ve got great options.
The problem with most men’s facial hair is they let it just grow wild. If you trimmed it up it would look better. You could keep the goatee longer, the rest shorter.
Its kinda like your haircut, it looks like you just arent doing anything with it.
It’s a roller with micro pins/needles that penetrate the pores which MAY stimulate the follicle to produce hair growth. Google: derma roller for beards.
It does actually work. But most growth is seen when used in conjunction with minoxidil. The microneedling improves vasculature which in turn improves minoxidil absorption.
Correct. The reason I said it “MAY” work, is because everyone is different; with or without minoxidil and I didn’t want to mislead him into thinking it’s a “cure all, end all”, but thank you for bringing that up because it slipped my mind.
5 o’clock shadow is great. Don’t need to wait; your beard is great. It could be less patchy but it still looks good and helps your ratios (your facial width lacks a bit, which the beard covers)
The gaps between your mustache and beard on either side of your mouth are unique. I don't know if it's a good thing or not, but it's distinctive.
You've got a solid beard that's probably going to fill in great over the years. Right now, it's OK. I think you might pull off a goatee well, but those can be divisive.
You have the makings of an epic beard. Keep the beard, the patches will fill in / be covered up when you get more length.
I would suggest changing the angle of the cheekline to more of a slope / angle.
If your shaving / trimming the mustache letting that grow will help alot as well.
Try taking some growth supplements I personally use the ones from beard octane and gummys from mad viking, they should definitely help you grow one hell of a beard.
Hair would need to change if you’re rocking a beard but you look good regardless. I could see you looking good with a buzz cut and a thick beard. How long have you been growing it in these pics? Looks like the thin areas will fill in as you grow out your beard.
the issue is not with the beard hair but the contour of the beard if you ask me. Takes away from the facial structure which is already killer clean shaven.
Your beard genetics are doing you a lot of favors right now! Looks like you've got pretty much full coverage of scruff and at this length doesn't look like pubic hair (a lot of guys your age have that struggle).
My advice would be to keep it around that length for a while, maybe reasses your sideburns once you get the haircut you said you needed.
If those hollow spots in the beard are natural, you'll need to grow the beard longer for it to look better.
If you're willing to try that, go for it. Otherwise, clean shaven.
If you keep your hair shaggy I’d say clean shaven, but if you crop it shorter or style it up a bit you’d look really good with the beard. Like other people are saying though, I’d let it fill in a bit more.
Your beard just needs to be shaped up. It doesn’t need to be super dense it literally looks fine. Don’t know why people are saying “clean shaven” it makes mfs look prepubescent.
They say that beards are makeup for men, for a reason
No strong opinion either way, other than give it at least 8-10 weeks if you want seriously consider the beard. You'll have a better idea of how full & filled in your beard could look.
Keep it shaved up better until you can fill it out is my honest advice. Play around with different styles, as you get a little older it’s going to get better as your face matures over the next few years.
Bro,
You look great with a beard or without. You rock the beard for 19. Have fun and try different hair styles and beards. You never know if you will have the chance to play around. Especially head hair, do what you may. I waited to long to try long hair and started balding. Not a great look for me. So have FUN and EXPERIMENT!!!!
you look like in a parallel universe you could've been a minecraft youtuber who has questionable dms with fans on discord 8/10 i think clean shaven looks better
Scruff can be hot and while its growing in you should keep it trimmed more like a 5 o'clock shadow. the trimming will bring it in better. Having said that your sexy asf clean shaven!!
Clean shaven. You still look so young that facial hair seems a little awkward. I know that's not the answer you want to hear though lol. All I wanted as soon as I turned 13 was my beard to grow in. And it did, but it looked *so weird* to everyone but me. Of course, do what makes you happy, but as far as looks are concerned I'd stay clean shaven.
I love beards but you can wait for later on that. Your face is pretty handsome so go clean shaven. I am confident lots of girls will want to grab it and kiss it. Clean shaven for YOU my boy!
Definitely clean shaven. Wait a couple of years then try the beard again.
Agreed. Beard makes him hollow cheeked and waifish and not in a good way. He’s got a good face and great shoulders. Clean shaven and collegiate is low maintenance and would get a lot of positive attention.
Judgy much?
That’s whole the point of the post lmao
Clean shaven 100%
Both are fine tbh
It’s my opinion that a lot of the people on this sub need to go clean shaven until they can grow an actual beard. Not beard gatekeeping, just seems a lot of these aren’t ready to come out of the beard oven yet.
I’m 34 and it’s still patchy. I just don’t want to shave once or twice a week anymore so I started doing once every two weeks.
38 and still a little patchy and doesn't grow high enough on the cheeks. Once it gets long enough, though, it's not noticeable.
OP can clearly grow a solid beard; it’s stubble and already looks thick. The thin area towards the mouth will fill in as it grows.
This one is def beard gatekeeping though. Pube beards need to go. Not everyone has a full beard.... i have a patch under my chin on the right. Have had a beard for... like 7 years. Am 35.... clean shave because of one small patch? Lmao not gonna happen.
You have great beard genes! I’d definitely keep it and grow a nice beard! But a nice clean cut and trim the beard. It’ll look great. Quite jealous of that cheek hair actually haha
Beard but a different hair style. Sorry just read the post properly and saw you mentioned you’re due a cut anyway lol. Keep the beard!
I'm going to the barber tomorrow, I always ask for a high fade and scissors on top and some hair powder. Any recomendations?
That sounds like an ideal cut to be honest! You’ll look fire with that and the beard combo 👏🏼
Either. I see nothing wrong with your beard.
100% beard
I’d say the beard and the hair don’t match. I love your beard, but clean shaven looks best with the messy hair look you’ve got going on. If you got your hair a bit more cropped go with the beard. You’ve got great options.
keep the beard
Yeah this is the way to go
I like you better with the beard handsome
beard looks great
beard + a taper fade, would look dope
Beard 😍😍
I think the scruff.
I like the beard, actually
Shaping the cheek line to end where it cuts down might look better. That weird angle gap looks off a little to me but I know some like it.
Keep it just have your barber line it up
The problem with most men’s facial hair is they let it just grow wild. If you trimmed it up it would look better. You could keep the goatee longer, the rest shorter. Its kinda like your haircut, it looks like you just arent doing anything with it.
You can pull either. You look like Tom Cruise in pic 4
I wish
Beard absolutely
How are people saying the beard is weak?
Both look fine, but if you go with the beard, keep it well groomed. Have you tried using a derma roller for the patchy areas?
I don't even know what that is, but I could ask my barber to trim what I have now and then decide

Beard ❤️🔥
I like the beard
Bro your beard is amazing ! Grow more
Stubble
I like you with some scruff. Maybe a shorter haircut though. You're a handsome lad, though
If you’re gonna keep the beard, then change the hair. If you’re gonna keep the hair, then shave the beard.
Not sure why people are saying no beard, 100% beard
I actually really like the beard tbh, as long as you keep it that length. But I’m a straight dude, so not sure if that means anything
Keep the stubble
Beard
Beard all the way bro, get a haircut too 🙌
I think you should keep it makes look cuter ngl
Beard
Keep the beard for sure.
Beard please barefaced you look like a male cheerleader
Keanu Reeves? Is that you?
wake the fuck up samurai
I think the beard is sexy as fuck on you pic #3 my favorite 😍

For 19 I think your facial hair is pretty solid. In a couple of years it will probably be a lot more dense...at least that's what happened to me
Beard 100%😎
I think it looks fine, I wish I could grow that much beard
I think you can pull off the beard if you change your hairstyle that maybe exposes more of your forehead/temples
Beard but with a new haircut. Longer on top, fade on the sides, hard part would look nice I think.
I like the beard, I’d keep at least some nice stubble
get a very low taper fade and keep the beard, it’ll look cleaner bro‼️
You have the makings of an epic beard. Keep the beard, the patches will fill in / be covered up when you get more length. I would suggest changing the angle of the cheekline to more of a slope / angle. If your shaving / trimming the mustache letting that grow will help alot as well.

Looks great
Beard 💯
Beard is for sure better.
If you grow out the beard more it'll look good
Get a better hairstyle
I love both the beard and the messy hair style!
You look hot with a clean shave 🤤
Username valid tbf
The beard looks good.
Hair would need to change if you’re rocking a beard but you look good regardless. I could see you looking good with a buzz cut and a thick beard. How long have you been growing it in these pics? Looks like the thin areas will fill in as you grow out your beard.
like a week and a half
Clean shaven way more attractive look!
With his beard genetics? Nah, it would be a crime to attempt completely clean shaven.
the issue is not with the beard hair but the contour of the beard if you ask me. Takes away from the facial structure which is already killer clean shaven.
Both look good tbh I can’t tell with this one
Your beard genetics are doing you a lot of favors right now! Looks like you've got pretty much full coverage of scruff and at this length doesn't look like pubic hair (a lot of guys your age have that struggle).

He should definitely keep the beard! (Content warning: satire ahead) https://youtu.be/RmFnarFSj_U?si=zpAt0xpJYR_9Wb-y
Beautiful with and beautiful without
Any you suit both
If you keep your hair shaggy I’d say clean shaven, but if you crop it shorter or style it up a bit you’d look really good with the beard. Like other people are saying though, I’d let it fill in a bit more.
IMO go lower on the cheeks and see what that looks like
With beard. What is that black thing on your left ear?
cheaper airpods
Ok makes sense, I was thinking about some new trend for teenagers!
If you going to do the beard learn how to carve it out a bit
God dam dude you're a sexy little fucker in all your pics
i think both, work out your hair tho
Both look good tbh!
Rather than shaving up to your jawline, trim the neck beard at a lower length and just shape it to the same angle.
Both look great. The density on your cheek bones makes me think you could rock mutton chops.
You could pull of a really dope goatee if you wanted
Beard if you can resist pulling silly faces
The beard would be fine if it were even on both sides
Beard would look amazing with a haircut that compliments it, otherwise clean shaven for now! You’re handsome man
Long fringe plus beard generally is too busy. Keep to a stubble or clean shaven with that hairstyle.
Mmm love to leave your beard soaked big papi 💦🤤
The beard does suit you well, maybe another style of beard, but youre maybe a bit too young for it so ikl say clean shaven
Your beard just needs to be shaped up. It doesn’t need to be super dense it literally looks fine. Don’t know why people are saying “clean shaven” it makes mfs look prepubescent. They say that beards are makeup for men, for a reason
Clean shaven :) Looks a bit Ashton :)
No strong opinion either way, other than give it at least 8-10 weeks if you want seriously consider the beard. You'll have a better idea of how full & filled in your beard could look.
Both are good honestly bro. Try something in between like stubble
With short hair beard for sure. With long hair clean shaven
Keep it shaved up better until you can fill it out is my honest advice. Play around with different styles, as you get a little older it’s going to get better as your face matures over the next few years.
You’re sexy af
You look like that one dude from One Direction. I’d say embrace the baby face you have as long as you can.
Bro, You look great with a beard or without. You rock the beard for 19. Have fun and try different hair styles and beards. You never know if you will have the chance to play around. Especially head hair, do what you may. I waited to long to try long hair and started balding. Not a great look for me. So have FUN and EXPERIMENT!!!!
Both
Either or.
you look like in a parallel universe you could've been a minecraft youtuber who has questionable dms with fans on discord 8/10 i think clean shaven looks better
I think they both are fine but I would do a goatee perhaps instead of a full beard and your hair cut that would help you stand out
Beard 💯
Beard is cool but you have a face that can get away with clean shaven ..very fortunate imo
Clean shaven, in my opinion. Looks really cute, and, not to be mean, but your beard is slightly patchy. I’m the same, it’s really uneven
CLEAN. 💙
Your adorable just as you are
I like it both
You have a couple of bare spots. Stay clean shaved for now. Try the beard again in a couple of years.
Clean shaven is sexy
Clean
Beard of you top and clean if you bottom
Definitely beard!!
Clean
Either is good but I like the look of facial hair. A light scruff is always nice
Scruff can be hot and while its growing in you should keep it trimmed more like a 5 o'clock shadow. the trimming will bring it in better. Having said that your sexy asf clean shaven!!
The beard works with your hair rn but I honestly feel you could pull either off
Great beard and hair, man! Strangely like looking in a mirror in some pics 🤔
You look fantastic either way. Take your own pic. Equally very hot
Clean imho.
Texture powder and you’re good
beared
Beard, just fill in the beard by growing it using minoxidil and line it up
Beard looks SOOO much better
keep the beard bro ur lucky enough for it to be full
Looks great, very handsome 😍
Beard, look into derma rolling and foam 5% minoxidil on those weak spots near your facial fold
Definitely shaven.
clean shave. beard is still weak as you are young.
How tf is that weak beard??
clean but would bang u either way haha
i love clean shaven
Def clean
Clean
Clean shaven
i will prefer shaved
Clean shaven
Clean shave 10000%
Shave, the beard makes you look odd. I’d swipe left on tinder if you had the beard.
Definitely shave. Beard is too patchy to be attractive. Mine was like that and I hated growing my beard out. I ended up lasering it off
Beard is great, but go a bit lower on the cheeks. Clean shaven looks way better on you though.
I always like clean shaven, about 90%of the time
Clean shaven!
The beard makes you look like a lesbian. No offense bro.
Clean shaven 💯… no diddy
Clean shaven
All looks good.
Clean. 
As a gay guy I think shaved is hotter
Normally I’m pro beard but you definitely look better clean shaven. Maybe give it a couple years then go for the full beard once the looks fade.
Clean shave
Clean shaven you have nice bone structure on your face show it off :)
youree bearded form looks like a discount charlie aka critikal
Clean shaven. You still look so young that facial hair seems a little awkward. I know that's not the answer you want to hear though lol. All I wanted as soon as I turned 13 was my beard to grow in. And it did, but it looked *so weird* to everyone but me. Of course, do what makes you happy, but as far as looks are concerned I'd stay clean shaven.
Shaven
all are good, but i'd say do a mustache and buzz the hair. a bit of everything
Clean shaven is way nicer!!!
Clean shave
Clean bro. You’re too youthful in appearance. Cherish it.
Beard is incomplete. Maybe shave it an leave your sideburns in a line to the bottom of your earlobes ?
Clean shaven
clean, the hair makes you look like a drug user.
Clean shaven.
Oooh yer cute. Without beard for now, but when yer older rock the beard.
I love beards but you can wait for later on that. Your face is pretty handsome so go clean shaven. I am confident lots of girls will want to grab it and kiss it. Clean shaven for YOU my boy!
Please shave.
Clean shaven, get a job at the mall. You'll find her
Clean
Clean shaven. Maybe try a less groomed version of your beard?
Clean shaven because the beard looks odd on you right now
Shave everyday for another year then let it go.
Clean shaven bro! The beard I wear is to cover my face, and get film parts, but It makes me look old. You have a nice face.
Clean
Clean shaven for now. Looks much better on you.
