Thanks for the encouraging words gato. I really don't think the patch is anything time won't take care of. I personally like a long beard with a trimmed/short stache. A beard I like is that of a MLB baseball player,Mike Napoli. I'm not a fan of a huge stache on myself. Anyone else like a short stache with a long beard? That's just my opinion and that is how I'm going to grow my beard! Maybe I can get moved to the established short beard thread. I really don't need any more help, I'm just here now to let my beard grow and show the beast off!
Hey Brandon.  Sorry I missed your request to move to Established Beards!  You certainly are ready for it.  

Sounds like you have a solid plan going forward.  If you ever wanted to try a big mustache, something I really enjoy, now the time to try.  You can always go back to that short stache you like in a matter of minutes if needed.

You beard is looking terrific and I particularly like the strong taper you've developed by keep the long goatee!  It's a great look!

Welcome to Established Beards, sir!
Tom
