Paul, thanks for the compliment. I feel that I look great with my beard. I like it. I appreciate every comment yours. It is very important for not doubt my beard. 

Dear Tom, you have a very special way of seeing the  things. Something I really like about my beard is its symmetry. It sounds strange coming from an asymmetrical face, but the truth is that I am an asymmetrical symmetrical. Despite the clear differences, the way my beard grows on both sides is identical, it does not look like this is another matter. And amid all this, the mustache, soul patch, chin and neck, have the strength to unify those differences. There, in the middle of my face, my two beards become one. My beard. This, in the outward journey. On the inward journey, I discovered that despite proudly wear my defect and make facing curious reactions from people, I still have mental limitations because of this, limitations like what I believed could not let me grow a full beard. Now what I see that I can, I'm starting to get rid of those limitations. So, as I suppose it is for many, grow beard it has become a process of deeper liberation. I am releasing the last ballast to fly farther. This wine should be a promise between brothers. 

JNC, thanks for your comment. Indeed, the mustache fills me with pride. As for color, I am surprised to find in the midst of this tangle of black hair, some blonds, reds and gray hairs. In fact, I have a small blanket of gray in the goatee that give a shine to the beard. And I guess that in the not too distant future, a salt and pepper will come there. 

DoNTM0V3, you are right: the way it is structuring my left cheek looks like yours. In a few moments of this trip I doubted whether my left cheek would have sufficient density to look like my right cheek. But this week I dispelled all my doubts and I can only hope that a little more growth allows more filling. About the handlebars, I'm waiting for a opportunity to play with my mustache and try. When I do, I'll take some good photos and post it here. 

Ronnie, I liked the pun that you invented: "albaboss". I'll take that as a compliment to my beard: "a-beard-boss". Regards.

Greetings to all.
