Greetings gentlemen! I'm back with a 1 month update and I still haven't given up. I'm happy with how the stache is doing, and the only real problems with the beard (in my opinion) are these big sparse areas on the cheeks (especially in the first pic below), but here are my current pics. This is natural light from a big window, vs before when I was in a washroom. I still really want the full beard so I am going to wait until the full 13 weeks but I'll be honest: I am getting a bit anxious as I wait for the cheeks to get better.
