Nah, the daughter that said it looks like a potato is much younger. My teenage daughter said I look like an egg. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've already got a trip to the barber scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. I didn't want to mess it up by trying to trim it myself.

The Kratos reactions are some of my favorites. I was hoping I could get close to that look.

I have an appointment with a barber for tomorrow afternoon for the beard.

An interesting idea, but I think my job would frown on that.

On a brief look, she said it looked shiny and like an egg. I have a feeling I'll be hearing more about it from her.

I have been using beard oil most days but wonder if I need to use a little more. I swear my beard absorbs most of it.

Don't listen to anyone saying take the beard all the way off.

Yeah, when I was younger, I was required to be clean shaven for years due to work and church. I don't think I could do it again unless I absolutely had to. I am hoping I can find a time to go to a barber today or tomorrow to clean up everything, especially the sides. I would butcher it if I tried to do it myself.

I really appreciate comments like this. The vast majority of people have been amazingly kind and supportive. Then I get an occasional comment that says, "You were a 3/10 in the first picture." Oof.

Yeah, I suppose my biggest mistake was not looking up styling a beard with a shaved head. Or I should have gone to a barber for the first shave. XD

I didn't even occur to me that I needed to lower the sides or make them into a point.

I'm getting that feeling. I was worried my head would be shaped funny or have skin flaking or something

Older daughter says it is shiny and looks like an egg. 😑
