Interesting to see. By the way, how long had you have a half-mustache and half-chin hair? I keep my face clean-shaven like yours on the bottom picture. Your hair is coming along well, nevertheless. You still look pretty young.
Regardless
I only had the half beard for an hour or so. I was messing around, that's what bordem does to me : P
Wow, you look much younger without the beard. I like the half stauche, or as I like to call it, upper lip surprise.
Ha! I like "upper lip surprise" : ) Yeah, I thought I looked VERY young, it took me by surprise a bit!
Neil
Wow Neil, major difference. I think you look better with the goatee, bro, but that's just my opinion.
I'm with you on the goatie. I'm gunning for a really cool "full beard", I would keep one all year round but it gets too warm for me through summer.
Neil
wow Neil you do look much younger but the look suits you better in my eyes i think its a very cool look! and the half stache is funny lol :)
Cheers Mark,
I have to say I don't mind the look I have now clean shaved. I seem to have grown a chin a bit over the last couple of years. I don't like shaving my chin though - I am rubbish at it - knicks everywhere!
Take care mate,
Neil
I vote for clean shaven...calls more attention to your wonderful hair.
Thanks for the compliment Beachbum! I have to say, I do like the clean shaved look on me more than I have done in the past. I may go back to it permanently next summer.
Neil
Hey Neil
Actually I think you look great both ways. An "all win" situation. Your long hair is far beyond outstanding!!!!!!!
OK, I'll be the 1st so far "brave-enough" to venture a guess at age: either 17 or 23. (If I am correct, please send 25 cents in coin to the Magic 8 Ball fund.) LOL :-)
With all good wishes-
Justin~
I'm in total agrrement with Justin's comments above, Neil. You are one of those lucky few guys on the planet who can remove or bring back the facial hair as you wish, and still ALWAYS look good... which means that I get pissed off just thinking about it... because: I'm JEALOUS!!!

Hey Justin,
Ooooo your quite close with the age guessing. Take the average of the two ages you said and you pretty much have my age - 21.
Thanks for your compliments, I have to admit even I am starting to feel that I don't carry off the clean shaved look so badly nowadays. A couple of years ago I did look REALLY young if I went back to being clean shaved.
Take care,
Neil
HA!LOL.That's a good one.You could have taken it a step further and kept the half stash to the right and the half beard to the left.That way each side of your face would almost have equal facial hair:)
I'd say very young.Now how's that for a none answer!LOL
Very fun post there Neil as sometimes you need to lighten the mood a bit as sometimes things get too serious here:)Take care my friend:)Cheers
Mark
Ha! That idea is really good, I wish had thought of it myself. Maybe next year eh? It's always good to lighten things up, I take my hair pretty seriously, but sometimes you do have to step back and think "there are more things to life...". I'm glad you appreciated it.
Take care Mark,
Neil
Facial hair really becomes part of one's presented caricature. While you look different than what I am used to, you still look good and the hair is so long - especially for curly. (I wonder if mine might look like that in a couple more years.)
Thanks for shearing. (Oops! I mean sharing.)
Shawn (Mr.Crow)
Thanks Shawn,
I'm beggining to think that I can carry off the clean shaved look more nowadays.
I think your hair will look great when it's as long as mine. Might take a while though : ( But keep going because it's really worth it.
Take care,
Neil
Neil, Great hair. Must say I like the stache and goat better than the cleanshaven look. Also the hair down instead of tied back.
Lets see how young do you look. About 30 years younger than me
peace, jonalbear
Hi Jonalbear,
Oh how enigmatic of you! Well, I'm 21. : )
Actually, my hair is a bit of a state in these pics, I think I'd only been up an hour or so. I'm looking forward to having my beard back I have to say, I have got this really weird cold sensation on my chin. Plus, like you say I think I do look better with the beard.
Take care.
Neil
Neil, I'll be 56 next month so I should have guessed 35 years younger. Keep it growing!
peace, jonalbear
How young do I look here>????!
Plenty young enough to still be carded!
Lol, I am sorry George but I don't understand what "carded" means : /
Neil
Hi Neil,
I like the half strach idea and certainly makes a great picture and without it does make you look younger. I great to see you looking so well and giving us a nice smile.
Cheers,
John.B
Hi John,
Thanks for your comments, I'm not sure it's completely safe for me to be bored : ) I am feeling a lot better than I wass earlier in the summer. Things are finally starting to look rosey again, which is lovely. I am more happy and "lighthearted" feeling than I have been in a long time.
Take care mate.
Neil
Hi Neil,
I think you look great with or without a beard (or moustache), and of course you are blessed with a thick mane to be proud of! I won't even try to guess your age, since I have been known to get in some rather embarassing situations when my guess turned out to be wrong!
Take care,
David
Thanks David,
I'm not completely sure that clean shaven is the best look for me, I still like the beard. Having said that, it's nice to see my face once in a while : )
Take care,
Neil
Hello,
You look so much younger without beard ! I'd say you're around 20 basing on the second photo.
Vivien
Pretty good guess Vivien! I'm 21.
Neil
Wow without the beard you look so much younger, both looks are good for you. Liked the half stache and beard, you should have gone outside to make some fun :p
Hi Vincent,
It's amazing the difference a bit of face fuzz makes to ones appearance. I don't think I'd have had the confidence to go outside with the HALF BEARD!
Take care,
Neil
LOL
Well at least you can shave your beard and still look good.
If I shave my beard people run through the streets screaming.
was a good laugh anyway thanks for the giggle.
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Haha! I'm people aren't that scared of you that they need to run - maybe just scream a little ; ) I decided to mess around just because it would be cool to see my face again as well. I'm already at full speed for beard, itching has kicked in already!
Take care,
Neil
I did the same thing about a week ago....people are still saying "Where did Walter go?" HA! and I still feel like a cat without whiskers.....Wisely, I have avoided cameras !
You, on the other hand pull it off great, Congratulations.
I put you in your low 20's and personally like the clean shaved look on younger guys.
Thanks for sharing
Walter
Good guess Walter, I'm 21.
I was quite pleasantly surprised by my face when I shaved. I used to have absolutley NO chin under the beard, part of the reason I have kept the beard so long. Over the years I seem to have grown a bit of a chin! WOO! : )
Take care,
Neil
This is a fun picture for sure. I like the beard a lot, but then you can pull off the bare-faced look too. You're lucky. As always, the hair is fantastic. I say you're 22.
Good guess Matt,
I am 22 in a few months! I'm more happy with my face nowadays, I had NO chin a couple of years ago. But I have to say I still prefer the beard. And now that winter is coming around I'm up for growing a new full beard. The itching has already kicked in!
Take care,
Neil
Hey Neil, I can related to the growing the beard. I grew one 4 years ago to hide the double chin! ha ha.
You look good with or without a beard either way. Facial hair is always good for winter but summers can be a bitch!
Regards
Duncan

Hey Neil, now that's a sense of humor...love it. It's a welcome change...since things are very serious it seems most of the time. Thanks for the laugh.

Max
