If you really want to notice a difference in how much growth you are getting might I recommend that you stop studying your beard daily or even weekly. I cannot tell a difference in how much my beard has grown from week to week. It is only when I compare photos taken on a monthly basis that I can then see the difference. I will take some new pics at the end of each month now instead of weekly. That will boost your moral when you can clearly see the difference a month makes!
