Welcome back... As I said last summer, you have a very solid beard and will be able to sport quite a nice young man's fullbeard in just a couple months. Your pictures of last summer are no longer available so we cannot comment on progress... but anyways, you should be looking forward at this point to the beard you are about to havesmiley: smokin.

Your beard has essentially completed its development on your undercarriage and lower sides... you might expect that when all your beard is complete, everything will be heavy and solid like thatsmiley: smile.  For now, I suggest you accept the fact that your beard is still developing in a few areas and will most likely fill in very nicely now and probably be completed in another year or two. For you, 'struggling with the right side' is purely a mental roadblock that you can easily fix by telling yourself in the mirror that you are getting nicely bearded and are starting to like and even accept what you have now. Once you make this mental change, you won't even notice these few areas still developing as you will see the 'big picture' as others see you.

At this point your beard is showing very bottom heavy when grown naturally.  From the undercarriage, you have a good natural center point and if you carve a line to either side along the crease between undercarriage and neck, you will show a very intentional fullbeard with major focus on the sides, right where you want others to focus their attention.

At your age, I suggest you savor a little youthfulness in your beard with these few last remaining areas of development, because it keeps you from looking a lot older than you really are. At 3 months, you are going to look in your 20s and when everything completes, probably 10 years older than that. It's at this point of completion [in a few years] when, after having been bearded for that time and quite comfortable being bearded, that you may decide to go huge, let your neckbeard grow heavy and hair drop off the jawline to even hide the neck.

For now, let everything grow, consider the neckline trim and keep posting pictures every 1-2 weeks. As you make these updates, say how you feel about progress.  Your beard is going to come in very fast and you must have your mental progress keep up with the physical beard progress.  Have fun... you're not going to look so young very much longer.smiley: smile
