Its been 7 weeks now, not 100% sure how I feel about it. First of all its COPPER. That was a surprise! I am getting used to that now though. It has definitely split opinions right down the middle. Some people love it and some people loathe it! It does look a bit scruffy at the minute, with some hairs sticking out in random directions or being longer then others . I am starting to get really competitive, people are saying I wont keep it for much longer but I am determined to stick at it.

I have taken some pictures but I am not sure how to upload them? If anybody could help that would be great as I would like some feedback from you all!
I attempted to clean up a bit and make some sort of "neck line". The hair was curling behind my ears and was rather annoying, however Im worried I may have butchered it!
Copper would be a cool color to have.  Beards will split opinions, at least at first, but so will piercings, tattoos, etc.  You can't please everyone, so there's really no point in trying to.  After a while, people get used to it, and/or realize that you're your own man and are going to do what you want.

The neck line you carved looks good, but I would probably back off just a bit as a little added bulk would help.
