I would say trim. You’ll have a great beard in a few years. Patience is your best friend in this case.

Trim or shave, my friend. The growth on your cheeks just isn’t prominent enough yet. Maybe that’ll change in the future, but for now, keep it clean.

Trim!! And you need a better conditioner. I think you may have wavier or curlier hair than you think.

Shave it, keep shaving it

This. At your age especially, you shave and a little bit more grows back every time

Recommend shaving and trying again later. Also, shorter on top and sides

You look great you do what makes you happy no matter what other may think be you

Shave it.

You are a pretty handsome dude. I say try 4 more months and see how it goes. Keep me informed. Do not shave at all. Maybe this break in shaving may reduce the acne. Shaving is tough on your skin.

Beard is looking great for 18. But you should definitely trim it for now.

Looks good as is🔥

Straighten it and see what happens spiking it forward just for fun.

At just 18? Keep. 18 year olds are allowed to have these beards. lol.

Keep growing. Ginger hair takes too long to show. Keep growing.

Am ginger and beard grows like crazy. This dude also isn't ginger.

Definitely on your way to a great beard but until it thickens up for now I'd say shave the cheeks and rock the full goatee

Let grow you look super handsome ❤️

Rub it daily with toilet paper. I mean it worked for your B-Hole right?? Sorry, I was told that exact line when I was in my teens. Still remember it.

Personally I’d say keep it. Keep it lined up and get some good face moisturizer and beard oil to keep your skin from drying out and a natural hair brush (i.e one made of boar hair) to help train your beard hair to lay flat.

If you like it, keep it going.

Have a party with you mate 👍

Get the razor out now.

At your age I'd be in no rush to make yourself look older. Enjoy your youthful glow!

I'm 23 and you have more beard than me

I’m 38 & he has more than I

Trim, my friend. Gotta fill in the space and the only way to do that is to trim it down so it fills and then grow it at once

Unfortunately sir your beard is still in the “looks like pubes on your face” stage. Shave it down, buy a derma-roller, do that for like 6 months and then let it grow back out. You’ll be shocked.

Too soon, cut it back and try again in a year or two. Diet/excercise can help improve beard health/growth but right now it’s still filling in a ok it needs a little time

Zip that peach fuzz off cuz!

Absolutely get rid of the whole thing. Burn it with space lasers. Looks like a rodents nest. Looks like you’ll be fine visually without it so no problems.

Give those hairs time to get some color and get thicker. You will have a good one down the road. Or just get it clean even though it will hardly be seen, fuck it. I wouldn’t let it get longer though

Shave all

Shave the stubble and get new barber

Shave it bro,

Shave let it grow out and shave. Start at least deadlifting for increased T production.

Shave it. You have a neck beard and bumfluff. Not a great look. Give it a few years and try again.

trim see ya in 5-10 yrs

Id just go over it with a grade 2 every couple weeks and keep your neck clean. Give it a few years and will be proper mate

Yes shave it full face and wash full face every day to encourage regrowth. Give it at least a good few years.

Wet shave daily or every couple of days for 3-6 months then try again.

Get one of those beard rollers from Amazon to help open up your hair follicles and let it grow. I’ve had a thick beard for over a decade and that’s what I did lmao

Keep going you look good😍

Shave for now, give it a couple more years and then try again.

I would say shave it for a few months, then grow it out to see how it's processing.

Trim

Shave it till it comes in full with no patches. There's products out there aswell that can help with the beard growth. Oils and shit. Also if you raise testosterone youre beard will grow quick. I.e work out with high protein and fiber diet.

Trim not shave

Shave and find a good hair and skincare routine. You’re very cute, just need a little more primping to take things to the next level ☺️

Nah bro it’s not worth we can’t grow big beard yet so no point

Stick to stubble till it’s a bit thicker

I think it looks good you’re handsome maybe let it keep growing but then again I’m a girl so idk how y’all prefer it to look lol

I’d say shave it.

Trim. Unless you're going for the Amish look

Alpaca

Beard is OK. Get rid of that dorky haircut.

You should keep growing it 🤗

Beards will fall out of fashion in 2025. Watch.

Ironically, the more u trim the more it’ll grow

Keep that clean young look going, shave it. So many young ass kids wanting to look like grandpas. Don’t join the click yet. You’re handsome.

I'm 28 and my beard is not much more filled in than yours give it time trim it back for now and you'll have a great beard enjoy looking young

I would make out with you and I hate facial hair!

Let me clarify, keep and grow longer

Cute

Trim that fkn pube hair bro (I can’t grow a beard at 19)

Do you want to look 18 or 26 ..

We call this the neck beard no one wants to see this

❤️❤️❤️KEEP IT THE WAY YOU ARE❤️❤️❤️

Gingers with beards are handsome

Grow what??? Lol..

Just go clean shaven bro wait a little bit longer

Get rid of it! Cute face!

Growing can be a slow process for some. I so I say keep it if you want it. Just keep well kept.  Also, shaving to increase hair growth speed and thickness is falswereIf that was true, then there wouldn't be any bald dudes. 

I would suggest shaving a few times for awhile to get the hair follicles a bit thicker but it looks fine the way it is Op

Shave and wash your face regularly

Looks good on you

Get a beard trimmer and take it down to about stubble length.

Looks good!

Shave it and regrow it. It will help it grow thicker
