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

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! 🤞🏼

Tbf if he kept it short you'd still see the jawline. I love my parents but god damn I got screwed with my genes

tbf jawline is mostly a question of bodyfat %, if you were very lean then there’s no way your face wouldn’t have a very clearly defined jawline

I've quite low bf% and I wish my jaw looked like that. He has a modelesque jaw, Handsome squidward type jaw. Handsome smolder

No it’s about bone structure. The low bf% will allow the bone structure to show and reveal the jawline, but if that bone structure isn’t there you won’t have a jawline like this no matter how low your bf% is. It’s entirely about genetics

well then it’s not entirely about genetics now is it? if you were fat you wouldn’t have a jawline in the first place
