DanoFromCO, Bearded Eddie, and kwilson thanks for the encouraging comments.

I would like to grow a full beard, but I'm not sure if that is going to be possible right now. By the time I hit 3 months, I'm going to need to have a fairly clean style established because my school has a dress code regarding facial hair, which states that beards and mustaches are permitted if they are "neatly trimmed." I don't want my attempt to grow a beard to get me into some kind of trouble, which could negatively impact me in the future. What I really need by the end of the summer is a style that can look neat and professional. Any advice along the lines of achieving a professional looking style would be much appreciated.
