Nick,

As everyone has said shaving will not make an improvement in your future growth thickness and rate of growth.

You have impressive although not quite complete growth at 15. Your chops are awesome. Your goatee has improved since July update. Stache looks to be about the same.

When I first looks at your pics, I thought like the others you should feature your best growth, the sideburns, maybe a chinstrap.

The more I look at your photos and your written desire for a full and possibly longer beard when you can grow one, I think you should let your neck grow in. Looks like you have the same amount of stubble there as your bearded areas. Your sideburns should be neatened up by running a beard trimmer at its maximum setting over the sides to even the sideburn growth to one length. I would keep the stache and goatee even though disconnected (this should fill in more over time). I would let the the sideburns and goatee connect. I would stop edging the bottom line of the neck and let the beard naturally grow down to your adams apple. I would continue to pass the beard trimmer over all areas once a week or two to even things out as new growth comes in and grows to sideburn whisker length. Once everything is close to being the same length you could stop trimming to grow bushier and longer.
