Thanks for all of the encouragement so far, I'm not one to usually adorn facial hair, so I've been wary about growing a beard for quite some time. Its been coming along much better than anticipated, but my only complaint is the curly-ness of the hairs, I know that it will eventually straighten out a bit and grow down, but I work with the public, and I don't want my beard to look.....pubey (for lack of a better word). I'm not too worried about the less-than-filled areas as they have been improving drastically. A few weeks ago, the moustache and the beard appeared to have a restraining order on one another, but it seems that they are slowly coming together. Hoping this beard grows nice and thick
