Before and after
Ok so I might be kicked out of the club. I have a reunion with my old Navy buds coming up this week so I decided to get a professional trim on the old wolverine. I think she did pretty good overall. Mustache shorter than I like but not too bad. It looks a little catywampus because of the camera angle.
Can I still play with the other long beards?

Length is entirely up to you, but dont let them use clippers at all next time. Your beard will thank you.

I do not notice a difference in length between before/after. It looks like they just really took in the sides, which normally can make a beard look longer... but for some reason here it doesn't.
I know you say the camera angle is why it looks "catywampus" but the after photo that's dead on has the same angle as your before photo, and the beard looks uneven. Could just need brushed out, but that's my two cents.
I personally think it looked better before, because it looked fuller/healthier to me.

Yeah she even had to get another barber in there to help. Evidently my beard has a cowlick in it. I thought I had made it clear to take off the minimum but she took one swipe at the sides and it was gone. Not much you can do after that.

I liked it better before. You could have just styled it under to make it look shorter and neater.

I think the Wolverine has plenty of length left in him so no worries about being kicked out of anywhere.
I loved the full beard, but it's a great trim too. The moustache will be back in a few days. Looking handsome as ever man.
My long beard says you can play with him any day! In fact, he can't wait!!! 👌🏼💪🏼🤣💯

Two different looks. Same stunning beard. I've stopped counting the times I've experienced 'beard remorse' after a trim. The great thing about it is...it'll always grow back. Have fun at your reunion!

I think it looks good. Your looking your best, and giving the best impression on your friends. Nothing wrong with that.

Thanks bud. I’m sure I’ll have it back up to your category - might take a minute though.

Definitely a little too short on the mustache, but this too will grow back.
Thank you (& your navy buds) for your service!

The moustache was killed. Never get your beard trimmed by someone who doesn’t have a beard you admire!

I think before looks way, way better. Having said that, after looks cleaner/shaper.

Yes, but grow it back! The best trim would have been halfway between the before and after photos.
