Looking good Itchyface, hang in there as things get better in the next couple weeks. You might try a little balm to calm those crazy hairs down if you haven't already; I did that with the wild hairs on my chin and it seems to make things more presentable.

I have the same issue with photos, I make myself crazy now once a week trying to get a decent picture of myself. Its been cold and miserable here (I'm in the north east US) so I haven't tried a natural light pic yet. Your pics look good to me so you're doing something right.

Keep it growing!
