Evening Gents,
First off, I want to say how inspired I've been by your cameraderie and togetherness on the forum. I've been lurking for a few weeks and the vibe off everyone is so friendly.
I'm 3 1/2 weeks into my first attempt at a beard. I'm over the itchy phase, and well into the ridicule phase with mates and colleagues. This I can handle. I just laugh it off.
I'm getting married in 8 months, so I thought now would give me plenty of time to see what potential I have. She's encouraging me to give it a go.
My neck was getting very itchy, so I shaved that last week. My neck line is way too high, but I know that now for next time.
Honest opinions please folks, do you think I'll be able to grow something that is not laughable in the extreme? I don't want a 'bum fluff beard'.
I'm realistic in my expectations. I have fine, light brown hair, so I'm not expecting to grow a full on lumberjack beard. If I can make it to the holy 13 weeks I'll hopefully have a better idea of which direction I'm going.
I'm fighting the urge to shave it off, but if my genetics determine that I'm destined to grow a patchy, thin, whispy, pathetic looking beard, I'll swipe it off.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
