SayNoToPistons:    Hey, I meant to comment upon this thread earlier and got distracted;  easily done on this forum.   So many excellent beards and newbies trying their luck at busting out the big beard that they so crave.

You've entered here with quite an excellent start. 

Great sideburns, cheeks and well the beard simply ROCKS!!!   image

Interesting to see the lighter shade of your facial hair on your stache and soul patch.   Funny how that is eh?   It's like me with my grey.  It seems to come out the same spot as your lighter coloured facial hair.  

Anyways, I don't really have much else to say other than:   fantastic beard!   Shoulder on young fellah, you're doing absolutely Great!
