Brother, as I looked back at your comparison pic, it truly is amazing that you have that much burl on your cheeks. I think alot of people would say they were surprised by the amount of hair you can grow on your cheeks. It really proves to alot of guys out there, that cheeks for alot of guys are just "slower" than the rest, but not any less dense. I have noticed that a very good judge of how good a beard can be, can be determined by the circle beard. Obviously not in every circumstance, but it seems like if guys are worried about there cheeks, but have really good growth around the circle beard, they aren't gonna have trouble with them in the long run. They are there just like the goatee. I dunno..just a thought. Question? How did you do that cool avatar pic? Is that an app? It's really cool. Beardspeed my friend. RVB
