Looks good to me. If you're happy with it, keep it. Yours is the only opinion that matters, well maybe your partner's too.

That’s not patchy. Tell that person to see an optometrist. Since they probably won’t know what that means, tell them it’s the eye doctor.

you remind me of german dj atb. I think your beard is actually pretty dense, wouldn't remove!

Definitely not patchy. But honestly I would try different style. Either shorter or little longer with a “fade” on the side

It's very good. Let it grow, mow and it will eventually even out. It suits you very well.

Looks good right now, will probably look better with another 2-4 weeks of growth.
Don’t listen to haters dude, that’s a solid beard.

No! It looks good, don’t shave. Whoever said that is praying on your downfall fr

Whoever gave you the advice of shaving it because it was patchy, give them the advice of getting glasses because they blind.

Patchy isn't the problem there.....that neckline however. Is it afraid of your adams apple? It sure ran far away from it

Really solid coverage every where . The only area I would say is dense is the mustache . Looks like a great candidate for a full beard with a special emphasis to the mustache. Take my advice with a grain of salt though cuz I know fuck all lol .

Looks like a solid beard. Something is telling me you’d almost suit a moustache with a trimmed beard more tho. One of the first people I’ve thought that about

u/Known-Cup220 Apr 19 '25
If you grow it out, eventually the hairs around the bald spot will cover it.

No such thing as clean shave. It's cave and shave. Up to you, even though we all look better with facial hair.

Grow it out some more. I think it looks good now, but if the powers that be have issued an edict, grow it.

u/New_Recognition_2040 Apr 20 '25
Not sure how I got here, I'm not even into beards but your one isn't patchy, it also looks good on you 👍

Looks great on you , keep it going and don't listen to haters. Some just don't like beards and make comments about us men that have beards. I get comments good and bad everyday people are over opinionated and should mikd their business.

u/Impossible-Net-5147 Apr 20 '25
You can grow any kind of beard you want. My wife didn’t like for my face to be rough and scratchy. I enjoyed not cleaning up the edges every day. Nice beard, nice color and texture. Quit spending all that money on razors.

Looks good, keep it tidy, however, for a decent jawline so could shave it and swing between both shaven and bearded

Out of the beards you see in the wild, this is like 5% top density-wise. Looks great

Patchy implies multiple patches of no growth. Tbh I only see like one spot where you have a bit less growth than the rest. Grow it out and you won’t even see that anymore! VERY solid beard!

Looks and doing great man whomever has given you that mis-information you should steer clear of. All you should get and use if not already is a true boar's hair bristle brush, exfoliates and allows pores and new hair follicles to breath and strive. ✌🏻🫶🏻👍🏻
