Thanks guys - heinz57, yes we do seem quite similar - its good to get a sneak preview!
So I've done
5 weeks
- things are starting to feel a little unruly underneath the back of my jaw, more wirey maybe, and on down the sides of my neck. I'm feeling untidy and really want to trim those neck hairs, but I'm very nervous about trying to carve a neck line.
The top lip is getting scraggy too, I have a philtrum stuffed with hair that sticks out in different directions - I guess it may be time to exercise some control.
The skin on my neck has been pretty bad this week - maybe the effects of jojoba oil - good or bad, too much or too little...
In all I'm loving having hair on my face, for that's now how it feels and less like stubble, and nobody is in doubt now that I am growing a beard.
Not sure what to do about a haircut either - I usually just buzz it myself to about 7mm and my wife tidies up the back/neck. But how to I transition to the side burns?? - I probably just need to have a go, but I don't want to spoil anything. I don't know any good barbers in town that I can trust as its been so long since I went to one.
Actually I didn't realise how I was feeling until I started to write this - I guess its now a real thing and I'm getting the heebie jeebies about what's coming next.
All is fine, really, and I'm still very happy to be doing this, I guess I want to stay presentable, rather than look too scruffy and plain wrong.
Anyway, here are this weeks photos. Tricky light today - I find it hard to photograph at the best of times, getting it to show up, but I couldn't get a frontal shot I was happy with. The bare patch on the right side under my lip is larger than the left, but hopefully it will fill in a bit more, still early days. On my neck pic, you can just about see the hairs that are sticking out sideways that bother me.
