Greetings, men. Here's my update for Week 8. Before you look at the pictures, I want to point this out: all the light hairs you see might fool you. I was able to get good lighting so they showed up well in the pictures, but the image from the front, below, gives a better indication of what (I think) is visible most of the time, and those are the darker hairs at the cheekline. I also gave 2 updates of the right side, one closer, one farther out, because I've said before how the right side is behind the left a bit, and I hope this demonstrates that. 

Without further ado:

Left side:

My comments:

As you can see in the front image, most of the time, only the upper cheek sections that are darker are really visible. Or at least, whenever I see reflections of myself, that's how it looks. The lighter hairs are visible in good lighting, but not all the time. Definite progress has definitely happened though, comparing this to my earlier updates. Any trimming recommendations from here? And would you like a neck picture? It actually didn't occur to me, but say the word and I'll get one (see last point below).

Concerning the mustache, you can see from the front image that it's beginning to get long over the lip. I bought some Got 2 B spiking glue, as recommended, and will report how I feel as soon as I get the chance to use it. Concerning the goatee, I've noticed in the past couple weeks that it's gotten kind of "wild," so do you guys here have any suggestions as to what I should do with that? There were several really long hairs I cut with scissors, but it still feels somewhat scraggily to me. Should I trim it, or use a product on it to tame it while letting it continue to grow?

Thirdly, for those curious, libtchr caught this in my car picture and that sparked a conversation, and anyway, you can see in there a wheelchair wheel sticking up in the back. That's mine. I have cerebral palsy and never got the chance to mention it! So anyway, if it looks like all my pictures are seated (based on the height of me in relation to things), they are! smiley: laugh I'm not mentioning this because I feel like I have to or anything, but hey, it is something about me. And that way if I ever get around to posting pictures from farther away than I've been doing so far, no one will be surprised. Haha.

And lastly, looking at it from the side, I think the neck hair looks kind of terrible right now! smiley: roll I was hoping it would be thicker and give me a more full appearance, but right now it's just kinda hanging there and looks untidy. 

Anyways, I'm all ears for suggestions. I do not think I would have made it this far in my journey without the encouragement everyone gives, so thank you immensely.
