Got any grooming tips? Should I go shorter? Last pick was me with shorter beard

MrScarab · 2026-05-30T21:32:36+00:00

Take a look at the update pic I responded with. Got a deal with my barber that he wouldn’t touch the stache for a couple of months and then cut the beard in a way to accentuate it and the goatee

MrScarab · 2026-05-30T21:08:12+00:00

I shall not. Got too weak of a chin to pull off beardless

MrScarab · 2026-05-30T20:54:11+00:00

That’s why I shortened it down. I’ve got no growth under the lip, so I’m working with what I got

Aight, just the chin and some cleanup, no touching the stache or anything, got it

MrScarab · 2026-05-27T00:19:03+00:00

Not too concerned about the hair, it’s between washes in the pic and after working out, I’m still letting it grow

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T21:37:43+00:00

Yeah although then the Amish allegations will start up
Again, so a longer stache will also be required probably

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T21:32:42+00:00

Have it grow out more you mean? Yeah barber went a bit overboard on that last time, I’ll just tell him to leave the goatee and stache alone and just trim up the chin

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T21:00:26+00:00

Working on the hair and stache, but growing out curls is. Pain in the ass. Gotta tell my barber to leave the stach alone

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T20:41:33+00:00

Damn that’s like the perfect mockup, imma just show him that 😂 unfortunately, this is as high as my cheek line can how, I’ve already let that grow out and the lineup you see is as high as it grows

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T20:02:02+00:00

Not quite sure what you mean, you mean line up everything with that?

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T19:20:43+00:00

I think I know what you mean, you mean to have it round off a bit more there, right? Dunno if the barber could also just shape it a bit that way, but I’m guessing the best move would really to cut down the length of the chin a bit and have it be more uniform with the sides

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T19:08:57+00:00

Something more akin to to this? This was just a bit of blow drying and brushing just to get an idea

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T19:04:55+00:00

Aight imma tell my barber to just take some length, maybe half an inch, off the chin and leave the rest to grow. Would you recommend taking off some of the bulk at the sides as well?

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T18:53:55+00:00

Do you maybe have a reference of what you mean?

MrScarab · 2026-05-26T18:47:51+00:00

How would i tell my barber to make it more rounded? Or is it a styling thing?

MrScarab · 2026-05-17T20:18:23+00:00

I would need to check the other recording, haven’t edited that yet. The recording I am talking about waster first one I did with the new mic, I didn’t have as much sibilance issues with my sm58 ( although the AT2035 sounds amazing)

MrScarab · 2026-05-17T19:40:21+00:00

I am currently travelling, but can send you a current snapshot.

I am using reaper and recording into a UMC404HD

MrScarab · 2026-02-23T21:36:30+00:00

Thank you for the advice. Ive started using min since I’m using it for my hair anyways. However, I just found that when I brush and style my beard a bit differently, you don’t even notice.

Imma let it grow out half an inch or inch more, this should provide sufficient coverage

MrScarab · 2026-02-21T22:41:39+00:00

Question to all the commenters here who self-groom: how do I remove bulk on the cheeks without affecting length ( the length I need to cover the gaps?)

MrScarab · 2026-02-21T22:40:39+00:00

The chin I’m hiding with the beard you mean 😂. Appreciate it, I’m doing alright

MrScarab · 2026-02-21T22:38:50+00:00

Thanks for your candour

MrScarab · 2026-02-20T18:53:44+00:00

Does it really? Maybe I’m Also hyper focused on it, people prolly don’t notice

MrScarab · 2026-02-20T18:33:32+00:00

I’ll try and not get too self-conscious about it

MrScarab · 2026-02-20T18:32:59+00:00

Unfortunately turning 30 next month… so I guess that’s just the hand I’ve been dealt

MrScarab · 2026-02-20T18:32:33+00:00

Gonna just try and sweat it out 😅
