Week 9 Update:
This week I can comb my beard and it stays there, so I combed for the photos... ! It feels like it's thickening up under my chin, although most of the rest is still very see through so I know I still have a way to go. You can see on the side shots, the right of my chin is more bare than the left.

Also, first smiley photo! My wife took em this week as she was around (spo she's to blame for the blurry one) - although she couldn't stop laughing because she thinks the whole 'beard club' thing is hilarious. I don't mind being ridiculed, it's better than some of the reactions you guys have had to endure.

My face isn't really as irritated as it looks in the pics, its just that I play with my awesome hairy face so much while I'm working at my computer that I make it red - my fair skin goes red if you look at it.
Oh, and I've had my first case of 'bed beard'! woke up yesterday morning and it felt like I'd been lying funny and squished every single hair the wrong way all night. The upside down beard sensation was with me all day.

Beard on!
