From your latest pics, Jay, it looks as if you have an excellent beard in the making. Both neck and cheek lines are well placed and I recommend you keep them as they are. By all means go out and buy a trimmer but don't think of using it for a few weeks more, by which time your beard will have filled in and laid down. It looks as if your beard is going to be a keeper. I hope you think so too.

Keep growing Stay bearded.
