Hi again Wodin:
I don't know if I would ever ask in terms like: "I want honest feedback." (I would edit that part.)  There is at least one on this board, who is brutally mean-spirited.
Actually, I would make the opposite recommendation.  DO ask for honest feedback.  But, if you do, be prepared to receive it...good or bad.   Not all feedback will be positive, whether in real life, or on a beard forum.
 
Now, Wodin, as a fellow blond I understand what you're going through.  It looks wispy, and kinda' thin.  And, it stays that way for a long time.  It's quite disheartening.
 
I've just entered my 8th week of growing, and my blond beard is now able to fully swallow a comb.  It's thickened up nicely, though it's only just over 1/2" long.  Yours should fill in nicely, too...your pictures show promise.  I'm considering letting mine continue to grow, rather than keeping it closely trimmed...never thought I'd be bearded, much less want to cultivate some length, but it's kinda' cool once you get started.
 
Blond beards take a while to grow and look full, and they're rather disappointing in the early stages.  But once they come into their own...well, there is nothing like getting in touch with your Viking roots!
