Beesewax it is then! ill make sure i pick some up soon.I like the look of my beard a whole lot more when im in the bath and the whole thing gets wet and lays down straight! I think i can see a change from week to week, especially when i compare it to week 1 when  it grew by accident. I suppose curiosity goit the better of me and the beard will be here to stay until i am not longer happy with it. lol i suppose its similar to 'you scrub up well' we use around these parts. thanks anyhow, sounds like you are forever encouraging everyone around here, a little confidence boost is always welcome i have however made the mistake of looking at a few other people full beards, my ideal beards, and though mine is shocking in comparison lol Cheers for sticking around tom and lending a hand all the way across the Atlantic!
