Thanks for the kind words guys! As for my style preference: I haven't really put much thought into it yet. I just want to get through the 3 months of growth and see what I've got then. I guess if I had to choose, I'd pick a medium length style that can be long and full, but look neat and kept up with at the same time. Either way, I'm enjoying this process immensely so far. It's exciting to see what your beard is capable of for the first time!
