You've come a great way and its fun to see the improvement on each and every update you do.
Its interesting to see the side view, the hairs look combed back, its a good indicator of the length it has reached.
I like that shape of goatee on the picture of your ideal goatee, mine is coming out very different from that shape but hopefully the end shape will be also nice.

The camera can't show very well but how is the soul patch - goatee connection going for you?
