A new look....at least for now

So one of my tendencies is to get a little bit lazy during the week and to not shave. So a while back I decided to see what I would look like with a beard. So far I have had a lot of compliments. Of course the main person who has to really like it is Melody and she has given me a thumbs up. So now the decision is whether or not to keep it. I guess only time will tell
Ha Ha!! Keep us posted!

I think it suits your face and as long as it doesn't get as big as Father Christmas's it will be great for you!

Great portrait!!
September 30th, 2013  
Very nice portrait. I think the beard looks good but of course it is what you & Melody like best. My husband goes back & forth with having a beard, mustache or clean shaven. All are fine to me.

Very nice portrait....so far it looks good. Nicely trimmed. Love that cap!!!
September 30th, 2013  
Awesome portrait! ... such a dapper looking gentleman, cap, tie, cool sweater and all, most especially the beard is very fitting with the look! Lots of character captured! Enjoy!
September 30th, 2013  
nice selfie...i am kinda touch and go with facial hair....but again, i guess you prob care about Melody's opinion a little more than mine.....lol
September 30th, 2013  
Wonderful portrait!
September 30th, 2013  
Nice shot, it's an individuals choice I think.
September 30th, 2013  
Join the Selfie Club this week! I'm a sucker for beards so I say keep it 👍 my husband's beard comes off and on throughout the year so go with the flow may be an option
September 30th, 2013  
Suits you, my eldest son grows a beard every winter,
September 30th, 2013  
I think the shorter style beard suits you well and like someone else said gives you a dapper look especially with the jaunty cap. Unless you are going to play Santa around Christmas, I would stick to the shorter style :-)
September 30th, 2013  
wonderful portrait ...
September 30th, 2013  
Great portrait and for me the beard looks just fine! My hubby had his for 30 years :)
September 30th, 2013  
I think it suits you...some people can wear a beard perfectly & I think you can.
September 30th, 2013

Great selfie and I think it looks great. You'll have to let us know what you decide and if you grow it longer, you'll have to let us see how it looks. :)
September 30th, 2013  
Wonderful selfie Brian...you have a lovely face and the beard is not bad...you'll have to do monthly updates if you keep it.
September 30th, 2013

I'm not usually a big fan of beards but this looks very distinguished indeed and really suits you.
September 30th, 2013  
This would be a great self-portrait with or without the beard. I especially love the light!

@claireuk Well if mine grows in a little more I suppose it would help keep me warmer in the winter

Fantastic lighting job in your portrait!

Very nice portrait, lovely lighting! I think the beard looks great!
October 1st, 2013  
Great photo and throw the razor out!
October 1st, 2013  
Nice selfie Brian..it looks good!
October 2nd, 2013  
It suits you well! But if Jeff tried to grow one, we'd have issues! hehe I've always liked them short- on other men! My older son once grew a long and bushy one- ugh!!! Those were years I'd like to forget as far as pictures go! So that's my quirky take on beards.
October 2nd, 2013  
i agree, it suits you!
October 2nd, 2013

October 3rd, 2013  
This is a great selfie. Great lighting and handsome subject.
October 3rd, 2013  
What a wonderful photo of you, Brian. Love the beard and look forward to seeing it even longer.
October 3rd, 2013  
It is so nice to see such a good portrait. Me I have tried it but do not like it on myself.
October 3rd, 2013  
Super image - love the hat!
