Hey man, nice seeing an update from you. I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again... you have such a great looking beard!
I have to admit that I'm a bit envious of your density haha.

Good to hear you found a way to deal with the curliness, even though I actually like the curliness of your beard, I can imagine it might become annoying if you're trying to control it.
Keep on bearding!
