Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know I am still growing.

I have one question, does anyone else think their beard looks poor when they're looking at it in the bathroom mirror? I always get the most insecure about it when I'm really looking at it. I imagine it doesn't look as patchy as I think it does, but insecurities are insecurities.

I'm at my parents' for the holidays now. I went to a concert tonight that my friend put on, so I saw a lot of old high school friends. Everyone seemed to like it, though my mustache is so distracting most of them didn't seem to notice the rest of my facial hair. One girl in particular, whom I've always had a bit of a thing for, said she liked it on me. So that's a plus.

With regards to your question, @envirobeard, I trimmed the neckbeard and the sideburns which are the thickest parts of the actual beard.

You guys have been my main motivation to keep growing, so thanks for that.

I'm turning 20 next week, by the way. I'll do an update on my birthday (24th)

Cheers,
APW
