Well, today marks approx. 10.5 weeks and 6 days from my last update which is a little soon but I got a hair cut yesterday and decided to go ahead and put up some pictures. I have shaved my neckline again and decided to drop it my a half inch or since i am starting to get a little bit of length. I am starting to train my mustache to the side a little better the past few days. Also, it is hard to see in the photos but I am really starting to have some fluff just below the curve of my jaw and I have been trying to hold off on trimming up this area but it has been hard. I do use a boar hair brush and i brush down to my jawline then forward to my chin. I really want to train the hairs to grom towards the front and not straight down at this stage or everything looks really thin and scraggly if the hairs hang more straight. After my hair cut I did taper the beard slighlty at the sideburns. My left side cheek/sideburn area seems to stay a little more fluffy but I have held off trimming this since week 7 or so. I am hoping this will relax soon. 

Tom72 - I have never really been a fan of the different colored beard but I am coming around to it now.

gato - I would love to stay in the established boards. I was new and realized I may have put this in the wrong forum at first and just wanted to be sure. I do plan on keeping this beard as I have struggled with random shaving for years now and I think I am over that phase. I plan to make it to long beards but not sure if i will go much longer than 4" or so.
