You have good overall coverage, far better than that guy's photo you've posted. He seems to have a riker style beard and his cheeks are very patchy. You have a nice natural neckline too. It will all fill out with some extra length but this is going to take a few months. Your moustache will become easier to train with some more length. You'll be able to apply a little wax to help with this.

Apply a little jojoba oil or lanolin cream to help soothe the itching. The itching phase doesn't last long. Usually just a week or two.

Grow it all out for a couple more months, it will feel scruffy but stick with it.

You're amongst friends here. Keep posting regular updates here. Welcome to the board, Shane.
