Thanks a lot Brodine glad you like the shape and colour buddy. As for the soul patch area you cannot see on the pictures but when close up in the mirror you can see hairs sprouting out so I think that will fill in eventually. Thanks a lot BeardandBowties, your beard is coming on smooth too, just some grow quicker then others. Thanks a lot bbwander I just comb it down then up before a shower and wash it just with water, the natural oils do the trick for me and give it a good dry after, then comb it and pat it down. Yes Dan very annoying keeping track of all the threads I've posted in, now I don't remember what I've posted on, and as always great comments thanks a lot Dan. Cheers JPnTn I can say the same about yourself my friend. Cheers Wallace D, yep liking it very much matey.
