@Alex - thanks, I just got the glasses and liking em so far too

@mr sftd - thanks, I just bought a boars brush the other night so we'll see what it does for it

@TheBurger - yeah, I guess everyone has a part of their beard they wish was stronger (I am my own worst critic). I've been looking for the jojoba oil with no luck. Will check salon type store today and if not guess I'll be ordering it online. Thanks for the support I'll definitely keep updating and looking forward to yours too.

@Harald - I read your thread sir, and from first-timer to first-timer, DO NOT SHAVE!! And keep updating regularly for support and tips. The gf will come around, you're looking better than I was at a week so like all others in here will say, just give it time and you will be surprised. I know I was. Thanks for comment and support, I'm looking forward to 2 months as well. In a drunken stupor about a week or so ago, I actually told a buddy I wasn't touching it til July, but there will probably be at least a trim or two between now and then.
