Thanks Treebore. Its alot nicer now that I've cleaned it up a bit, although I didn't do much to even it out. It's fairly assymetrical when not combed back.
The beard is in both pics actually, its mostly a goatee, but I dont trim the sides too often (every couple of months or so). In the first pic the goatee is divided into two braids. In the second it's a single braid. Unbraided my beard reaches the bottom of my sternum.
