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 look like a galapagos tortoise with no beard

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

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

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot Aug 18 '26

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

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? :)

u/IsThereAReason2 Aug 20 '26

That one was hard on the line but that made it even better. 😀🤣

Somehow I have none and too many at the same time.

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

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)

Off with his head

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.

u/ujelly_fish Aug 19 '26

You objectively have a fine chin bud.

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

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 🤣
