Hey guys! Hope everyone is having a good week!

Another week has passed and more hairs have grown, so I come to you with an update. I also have clearer goals on what I want out of my beard. The plan essentially is continue growing for 5 more weeks until Easter, at which point I will get a number 1 buzzcut and trim my beard into a complimenting piece of art. Then I will go home for Easter, visit friends that I haven't seen in a few months, and wow them with my bearded glory!

Here I am at 7 weeks:

Yes ladies and gentlemen, I have grown my FIRST CONNECTOR on the right side of this picture

And finally with my hair pulled back, since a buzzcut is my eventual goal. My sideburns have been basically growing for 7 months with the odd trim now and then, which is why they are a bit longer

Technically this isn't the first beard I've had. Last summer I had a buzzcut and a little chin thing going on which I thought looked pretty good (but WAY too much bare non-bearded skin). I have a wicked widows peak hairline, so I'll post that picture below so you can get an idea as I look REALLY different with buzzed hair.

I was thinking maybe grow out a Riker or a Balbo. I think that should look alright with buzzed hair? I can't find too many examples of beards grown lower on the jawline with buzzed hair.

Have an awesome week guys! Thanks for all the advice
