Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Gnatdagger - awesome, I wish I could go for a yeard, however I work for a major financial institution and while they do not have a direct policy around beards, I'm sure they would have a problem with a big beard. But I wish I could.

Huddle - jeez man,I wish I had your coverage and density. Your beard looks great.

Weekliter - I plan a going bigger with it this time around. Being my second beard I am a little more familiar with how it changes they way I look and won't be for apprehensive about it this time.

Patrick Beard - thanks! I will be sure to post updates as it grows.

So far reactions from my new employees that have not seen me with a beard have been favorable and have not had any negative comments.

Question. When it comes time to start shaping the beard, what's the best way to do it? Is it better to use a trimmer or a pair of scissors? Perhaps I should just visit a barber. There is a shave shop near me that does trims.

Thanks for any freedback!
