I agree with bhster and the others. There's maybe one guy in 1,000 who has the density and evenness to pull off your goal picture.

My advice is to read the Rules of Beard Acquisition thread for starters, and to listen to Razorslave. My beard is nothing like what I thought I wanted, but I've learned to accept it as "mine". There's no reason at all to reach for the razor. If instant gratification applied to beard growing, this Board wouldn't even be here. You just need to give it three months and see what happens.

Hey, you new guys, don't be afraid to jump on in and comment on others' threads!
