Your beard is looking really nice! I hope you are able to keep it. Congrats on making it to 45 days. That is awesome. You could always try cleaning it up a little with a nice trim. Raise the neckline juuuust a tad near your ears. Get rid of the little patch that goes under your ear. Maybe even use the clippers to get a nice even length on the beard without cutting it too much shorter, just enough to even things out a bit. Your cheeks and front look superb, but the beard does look a tad bottom-heavy. These are very minor tweaks but they may give it a more "professional" look as your boss seems to want. At least its worth a shot before you go ahead and shave the whole thing (though I really hope it doesn't come to that). Good luck!
