That's a good update and because the sides are less than 2 weeks, they don't show much yet. Give everything 3 months, and you will have a much different beard. On the neckline, I see what you mean about losing beard with a higher neckline so you could leave it alone for another 2 weeks... then, carve it in an inverted U, starting just a little higher on the ends and about a finger width higher in the center.
