So I am just here to confess that I was close to shaving yesterday. I guess I've had a couple of rough beard days here lately and maybe I'm growing impatient when I look in the mirror. It also doesn't help that I have this feeling that my boss doesn't like the beard and is soon going to ask me to clean up, I'm staring to feel a little nervous every time I sit next to him.

Anyways, that's that. 13 weeks mark is close by, and for now I'm still in it.

Sorry to hear you've had a few rough beard days.   I guess most new beard growers have a few of those now and again.  I hope they've passed and you're back on track.  If it becomes necessary to do a bit of clean-up for work, you could try giving your beard a very light surface trim to take off the stragglers.  It can help your beard look a lot tidier without losing much.
