Great job getting to 13 weeks....what a transformation! I think at this point I would recommend having a light surface trim to tidy things up a bit. After the trim you could either maintain this length or keep growing. Another good trimming reference is post 20 in Bearded in BC's thread. You can trim it yourself or find a trusted barber to do it. If you go the barber route, make sure that you are explicit with the fact that you only want a surface trim.

Also, at 13 weeks, I'd say that it is time to move your thread over to the established side of the board. How would you feel about me moving it over?

Thanks Gato! I am going to look for for the thread and give the self trimming a shot. Once I reach 4 months I am planning on visiting a good barber. And I would be honored to be moved to the established side  

Terrific! Allow me to be the first to welcome you to short beards!
