Hey albatros,

Thank you for your kind words in your post in my thread!

As the other guys have said, and I agree with them, you're well on your way to a great beard. All the basic elements are there so it's just a matter of time now. I wouldn't worry about your left cheek if I were you. Your coverage there is very uniform and with your dark hair color it's only a matter of time before it has the same impression of density as the right. Think of it in the same way as the guys you see around here with low-density patches. Just hang in there and let your face do it's thing.

Love the hat and beard combo, by the way!

Cheers!
Tom
