Hey Sir:
Nice to have you here. I hope your employment isn't giving you a problem. What do you do? Beards are not the problem that they used to be, and are accepted readily. Your beard isn't really lacking. We always notice our own issues, when others don't. I can see you have a soul patch growing. It is not really dark, but given some time will be fine.
For only 5 weeks you have grown in really well, and it is a handsome look on you. I understand distractions, since I am not good at posting updates on my own thread, but now that have a thread and a nice beard, if you post weekly, it would be good to see your own progress.

I hope you don't have to waste your good beard, so let us know what is happening, and maybe we will have ideas. Growing your beard is the most masculin thing you could do, and it is a journey of discovering yourself in your beard. I hope you can do that.
Again, Nice to have you.
My name is Tom
