A very long time! Like at least a few weeks... and then you'll roughly start to get an idea. Some people grow slower so it can take ever longer to see
what's REALLY there.
At 15, your chances of having great beardedness are lower, but it's still def worth a shot. Just don't shave for a month or so and see what it looks like then. You'll be able to see what kind of potential you have then 
Actually growing a nice beard takes much, much longer than that, too, of course. |

Hi Bears. Welcome to the board. Wait 4-6 weeks, then see what you have to work with. I didn't start shaving until 16 1/2, and you're only 15! Nice! The
fact that you are 15 and already are noticing some hair on the face is a great sign that you are going to be a bearded man.
Happy "Bearding"
Beards in olden times, were the emblems of wisdom and piety.

There's really two answers...if you have some potential at all, then you should let it grow 3 months at your age before you really know your full
potential.
If you have very sparse growth after a few days, like you can count the number of hairs easily, then you're probably just starting to develop and a beard is several months or years into your future. If you show us a pic after a few days growth, then we can tell you whether it is worth giving it a shot.
Patience shall be rewarded!

Hey Danko, when you say that you didn't start shaving until 16 1/2, do you mean you literally never had to put a razor to your face or are you referring to never having to shave your entire face until then? I had to shave my upper lip at 14, which I only had to do like once a month but I really didn't have to shave my entire face until I was right around 20. |

If you check the facial hair patterns of men on your mother's side, that can be a good indication

It switches off between the two sides from what I've noticed. Your body does things in stages, including facial hair. Ancestry always tends to factor into
the final result, but I'm not good at that part so I'll leave it at that.
