Hey, everyone. This isn't a complete update, technically (I'll get a straight-on front picture later), but this should tell you how my sides are looking now. The shots on the left side ended up being a little farther away, because the left side is darker than the right and doesn't need to be as close to be noticed. I'll just jump right into it, then give my comments afterwards:

The undercarriage growth you can see is about 3 weeks. I'm figuring out what to do with that. 

Now, my comments: I think these pictures make my "beard" look a lot more prominent than it does most of the time. I'd love if my beard were this prominent all the time, but I'm pretty sure it's the lighting. There's still very, very light hair only along my jawline, and it's not anything impressive. That said, improvement has definitely happened, and I'm seeing a lot more terminal hairs compared to my Week 8 update. I plan to stay the course for 24 more days, but I can't promise what I'll do after that. 

Do we foresee any more "terminalizing" in the next 3-4 weeks? I know it's hard to say, but it's worth asking. The good news is, this journey has been a genuine success in my book - not necessarily because I'll be keeping the all the hair, but simply because I set out to see what my face would do, and by now, I think I know. 

I look forward to your comments!

“For God wished women to rejoice in their locks alone growing spontaneously, as a horse in his mane; but has adorned man, like the lions, with a beard.” - St. Clement of Alexandria
