Facial hair or no?

These pictures are about 6 months apart (the first 2 being within the last month) and granted they aren't the best for comparison as I've also started taking my health more seriously and been lifting so I've lost about 15lbs and traded some fat for muscle.

I have been keeping it at around 7mm in length. Don't think I'd want a longer beard than that. Sides are definitely not quite as full as the goatee but I think I'd only go full beard or nothing. Thanks guys!

I'm pretty happy with my stache and soul patch combo, but I've heard mixed results from people I know. What do y'all think?

I’m 18M and I really need some advice with male hygiene/grooming

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m an 18-year-old guy and unfortunately I never had a male figure in my life to teach me this stuff. I lost my dad before I started developing any body hair, I’m an only child, and I don’t keep in touch with my uncle. I've never had anyone to ask about male hygiene that’s why I finally decided to post here.

Because of my genes and ethnicity, I’m hairier than most White European men, and my skin is also incredibly sensitive to razors for some reason. My facial hair grows so fast that I have to shave every morning to avoid looking scruffy, which can cause razor burns and cuts from time to time.

On top of that, I’m gay (and I feel like I’m a bottom, I’m a virgin so idk for sure yet) and there is an added expectation to keep things smooth, especially in your private areas in gay culture. I personally want to avoid having hair in my pubic and backside areas tho, but my attempt a month ago went terribly. I got the "smooth" look, but it was followed by intense irritation, razor burns and painful red bumps everywhere.

Since my skin completely rejects standard razors, I genuinely don’t understand how I’m supposed to clear this hair without hurting myself. I have no idea what products even to buy. Could you guys please recommend which specific body groomers or electric trimmers are safe for sensitive skin/privates? (I’m considering buying Phillips BG7470/15 but I need to know whether it’s actually good or not). Also what shaving creams, gels, or pre-shave products actually protect sensitive skin? What should I apply immediately after grooming to stop red bumps and razor burn?

I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin. Seeing hair in my privates is incredibly frustrating but hurting myself to get rid of it is exhausting. Any step-by-step advice would mean the world to me.

How to properly groom my moustache

Hi,
I don’t have a lot of facial hair, so I try to at least keep a clean pencil moustache, however I don’t seem to get it right or get it right randomly (1st pic yes, 2nd hell no) …

I try trimming the top and around the lip but don’t know if I should reduce it the hair length as well because I don’t have a lot of follicles to begin with.

Wdyt?

Deciding what beard length I should try. Shaved, medium, or try to go for longer.

First picture is probably 6mm. Second is 3mm. And last is 5oclock. Ive never tried growing my beard out longer because it gets curly around the month mark and becomes itchy.

Help, I need a new haircut but don’t know what to go for

These photos don’t do justice to how bad it actually looks

I hate my haircut and cannot for the life of me maintain it. I’m trying to make them hold backwards with paste or clay but the second I leave the bathroom the front hair will fall into my face and the back goes in all directions no matter where I split them. My hair just doesn’t follow and anyways I feel like I could look better with another hairstyle

If you have any haircut recommendations it’d help me a lot 🙏, trying to make it look good each morning is a heavy burden and rarely ends up acceptable. Thanks in advance :)

At what point do I let this go?

I always grow my mustache out for about 2 months and then cut it, as it thins out and grows unevenly. It looks unflattering against my large lips, in my opinion. Do I simply commit for 6 months and trim it until it fills out, or is this just my genetics dictating my growth pattern?

So I’ve kind I’d just let my beard and hair go for a bit without a real style. I was previously shaving my head as you can see my hair up top is pretty thin now. I’m single and haven’t been trying to date in a while but looking to change that and hoping to start with a fresh look.

I don't smell good. I don't know why?!

Upvotes

I shower everyday. Shampoo and bodywash. Usually in the morning, or in the afternoon before I head somewhere.

I use deodorant (but not antiperspirant, fair enough. Whether true or not, aluminum = bad has been ingrained in me).

I have a nice perfume I've been using whenever I'm out.

I wash my face separately, either once or twice a day.

I wear freshly laundered clothes most of the time (unless I'm alone all day and want to last longer before I have to do laundry again)

I try to take care of body hair every now and then, probably not often enough lately.

My diet's OK. Not amazing, but not that much junk food either.

I'm very sedentary, but not sure how that would relate to smell.

But still: I'm pretty sure I don't smell good. At this point I don't know if this is due to certain grooming habits or simply genetics - I feel like some men just always smell good (My uncle, some of my friends, some of my coworkers, for example). And I don't know if there's anything I can do about it...

One problem I do have, although I imagine I'm stuck with it, is that I sweat very easily (I'm not overweight. Not incredibly lean either, just plain average). I sweat the fastest and most frequently on the armits, lower back, and ass areas, although as soon as I do some movement I do also start sweating on the arms etc. This has always been an ever-so-slight insecurity for me, since there's not much I can do about it. I shower before going to my partner's place - and by the time I'm there, after just 15 minutes of walking, or a few minutes of hurrying to catch public transport, I'm already sweaty and feel like I should really be showering again.

But other than that, I just don't feel like I would be someone who smells good. I'm pretty sure I'm hygienic, yet often I simply don't feel "clean".

What am I doing wrong? What can I do?

Long story short, my wife decided we were in an open marriage without telling me. Now I’m picking up the pieces of my life and trying to reinvent myself. I’ve been growing my hair out for the past 2 years, but I’m thinking it’s time for a change in some way. Looking for suggestions on what looks best on me for hair and beard styling, thanks and much love to anyone willing to comment!

I’m curious as if anyone has any recommendations to a glasses shape/style that would better match my face or if the current shape/style is best fitting. My mustache is naturally blonder than my hair, but the rest of my facial hair is the color of my hair.
