I'm a big fan of your beard already; I think it looks terrific!

I used to taper the hair on my neck back toward the neckline, that is, the closer tot he neckline it was, the shorter it got. THat gave it a nice light feeling, rather than the bulky feeling that was happening naturally. I really liked that at the time, but I'm now regretting it a little since I'm going for a bigger beard now and wish that I had the bulk that I cut away.

I second that idea of using some wax or gel to try and train the moustache to grow to the sides. Check out the thread called 'taming the wild stache' if you haven't done so already. There's a link to it in my signature below.
