Hey Jake, welcome to the board, man! I cannot see your pictures. Try using this link to see if it will help: http://jefffsbeardboard.yuku.com/topic/3134#.UtI69cJ3vIV. As to scruffiness, yes, the first 2-3 months are the scruffy phases when growing a beard. Yeah, you'll hear all kinds of comments. To get where you need to go, you will have to endure a few of these types of comments until you get to the point where the beard becomes fuller. That's about all I can tell you without seeing what kind of growth you have. Try posting the pictures again.
