Full Beard is the essence of man's facial hair. It is the facial hair growing on cheeks, chin, neck and above the upper lip.
Cheek line of the beard is natural but you have to choose a neck line to fit you. The neck line can't be too high. You can have an all-natural full beard but it is better to trim it. The most important thing in having a full beard is keeping it clean. Most men wash, trim and comb their beards for the best result possible.
Interesting fact:
In the past in some cultures beards have been ascribed with a lot of attributes like wisdom, knowledge or sexual virility. Beards also have been associated with tramps or vagabonds in other cultures.

Full Goatee is also known as goatee and moustache. It is one of the most popular facial hair styles in the world. The reason of this popularity is pretty clear - this type of beard is really easy to grow, trim and care.
Moustache is connected with the facial hair growing below the lower lip and under the chin. The beard is usually a little wider than the mouth (unlike basic goatee) but its sides are also vertical lines, which can be curved a little. The shape of the beard is oval - mustache forms top of the oval, the shape at the bottom of the chin is also oval. There are some variations of the shape which fit different face shapes, but the oval one is the most popular one.
Interesting fact:
Full Goatee is a good choice for men with good growth in the mustache and chin areas but weak on the cheeks.
