Man, that's spot-on. I must say, from my own experience, as that beard grows out, you want to stay a millimeter or two ahead of where you suspect or anticipate it should be. In three months from now, you'll be at an entirely different game. you'll push your facial shrubbery down and think to yourself, "right here is about where I should trim my neckline" but in actuality, that line will be waaaaaaay too high. When you find this specious (a good word, everyone look it up) neck line, drop it lower than you think. You can thank me later.  Been there, done that, wish my neck hair was longer, blah, blah, blah.
