Misc plz advise whether I should have a beard (pics) (beard) (old) (bald)

Beard? No beard? Short stubbly beard?

I was beardless all my life until 2020 then needed a hobby so gave it a go. Not shaving was great but it was so grey I think it makes me look old? But then I am old, so maybe that is appropriate. Also maybe it makes me look more intellectual, which might in my job?

Misc l00kists and fashion advisors plz advise ... what do in 2021?

A heap of pics below for you to judge.

Actually Gordon the conair I stubble is superior

You adjust for the length you want your stubble and the length it’s set to displays digitally

yeah i've seen this one. but i don't see the value added of the length feature - it's not like i want to choose a variance of stubble lengths on any given day. for me, i always want the raw trimmer at level zero - looks good 7 days a week if you trim on Mondays and Thursdays. also, not sure the build quality/motor/blades of Conair can match my Philips Norelco.

My conair needs to be replaced every 3 years

I prefer having a set length

I don’t grow thick facial hair so being able to specifically set it to 3mm will give me a fuller look whereas some guy with thicker facial hair will only need to set to 1.5mm

Everyday I have my ideal stubble right to the exact mm (millimetre)

oh makes sense. i have a thick beard so i need a powerful motor and sharp close blades. it's a blessing and a curse. i have to do a full body grooming once a month too. what a PIA.

You remind me of Willem Defoe in a couple of pics and of Jocko in the second-last pic.

Check out Rich Cooper from the Youtube channel "Entrepreneurs in Cars". I don't like the guy but his beard game is on point. But only go for this kind of beard if you're going to keep your head shaved. I'd also consider getting a tan and dying the beard a natural light brown colour while leaving some grey here and there.

You can at least give the look a try and see if it suits you and how you feel.

Full beard, like 5cm to 7cm in length. Get some decent beard oil and balm to keep it healthy
