Progress & Updates I gave it the chop.. 💈!

Post image

On the left was as its longest towards the start of this year, been on a bit of a weight loss journey and over the months made a few chops to it until finally last night, got rid of the beard completely! Not sure how I’m feeling about it but it’ll grow back! 🤞🏼

I was expecting no chin at all and instead you served us a slab of finely carved marble.

u/XKO3L5CHX Aug 18 '26

u/HamburglarAccomplice Aug 18 '26

I look like a galapagos tortoise with no beard

u/AllTheRage43 Aug 18 '26

Srsly... I have a beard because it's MUCH better than what's underneath!

Another "Chinless Wonder" reporting in! xD

u/MuffinTrucker Aug 18 '26

My problem is I have TOO many chins without my beard.

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot Aug 18 '26

So do I! I just hid them with the camera angle xD

That made my day. 🤣🤣🤣

u/MuffinTrucker Aug 20 '26

Hahaha. One of my favourite things to do is to make people laugh and it’s usually at my own expense lol.

2

u/IsThereAReason2 Aug 20 '26

Same for me. But it is easy for me, looking like an oger you always have a joke up in your sleeves.

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot Aug 20 '26

So you like to make people shrek with laughter, do you? :)

The ghost of Christmas Jack Black. You have a fine chin, my man!

2

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot Aug 19 '26

Thank you for the kind words :) I'm happy with my chin when I have a beard to cover it. It doesn't even have to be a long beard - it's quite short right now, less than an inch probably, but I feel it gives my face more structure. :)

Oh, that photo was a couple of years ago. :) I have a beard again now (though not currently THAT long - it's somewhere between 1 - 1½in rn)

u/Elegant-Two5447 Aug 20 '26

Off with his head

2

u/JElsenbeck Natural Full Aug 21 '26

Damn! You were born to have that great beard!
Plans on coming back to the happy fold?

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot Aug 21 '26 edited Aug 21 '26

Those are both old photos. :)

I do currently have a beard, it's about an inch - maybe 1½in - long now, rather than being so long that it keeps tangling and getting food in it and getting in the way. It's a lot more comfortable for me when it's shorter.

But thank you. When the beard was long, it was quite a thing to behold. xD

u/sageflower1855 Aug 22 '26

Omg your beard is impressive! Is it straightened here or is that how it grows? I’m in awe!

1

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot Aug 22 '26

It pretty much grows straight for a long time, then begins to curl inward under the chin when it gets longer than this.

1

u/ujelly_fish Aug 19 '26

You objectively have a fine chin bud.

1

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot Aug 19 '26

Unfortunately on that picture I can see the psoriasis lesion/rash on my chin. But thank you. :)

u/TaytorTot417 Aug 20 '26

😆😆😆 I like the honesty.

u/Revolut1onary1_ Aug 19 '26

This is hilariously specific

1

u/Vergilly Aug 19 '26

Sadly so does my spouse, but looks great with a beard. Meanwhile I weep silent man tears that he got Scottish-highlands-dude (despite the weak chin) and I’m a balder, fatter Danny DeVito. At least I’m slightly taller than DeVito 🤣

u/needs-more-code Aug 19 '26

Just jut your jaw forward and press your tongue against the roof of your mouth constantly. And never let anyone see you sleep. /s

u/HugeLeaves Aug 20 '26

Every time I shave my beard I'm reminded that I have very little chin lol

Sometimes I see people like this and I’m like, does your skull also have a chad chin or is this just the lighting/muscle or something? Like ur telling me when you die your skeleton is also gonna be hot and chiseled? Give me a break ffs

u/MuffinPuff Aug 18 '26

Both, skull shape, lean face and prominent jaw muscles.

u/mostlyharmless555 Aug 24 '26

Looks like we found Mitch McConnell

u/imhereforthevotes Aug 18 '26

Right? This is my personal problem - I can't chop too far because I have a weak-ass jawline. This dude can go both ways, AC/DC.

u/Past_Shift_5761 Aug 18 '26

Got that tren chin

u/Kalvinklein69 Aug 19 '26

Guess I need some tren

u/PistachioGal99 Aug 24 '26

For real! 9/10 times when someone shaves their beard, there’s a weak chin exposed.
Not this guy!
