Good to hear you are taking the option of just letting it grow.  I saw your pictures and you definitely have some good whiskers.  Let it grow out and see what you want to do with it.  Then as the years go by your beard is going to change and fill in ways different from now.  It becomes like an album of your life and you will mark events by the way your beard looked at the time.  Enjoy this journey that you are starting on.

To start with let your beard grow wild until you decide what you really want to do with it.  Give it a few months before even considering your options.
