Man, that thing is looking great for 11 weeks. You are not giving yourself enough credit. As for the neckbeard I can relate as mine is similar. What I have been doing since about week 5 is brushing the neckbeard UP and towards the middle. This has been giving me a more cleaner more natural neckline look and also faking the bulk of my chin. Give it a try and report back. I had to get a boars brush for the neckbeard to respond to the direction i wanted it to go as a tooth comb wasn't doing it.
