Hello my bearded fellows,

week 9 has been a week of ups and downs. It was hard to stay on track, but this board, in person ALL of  guys saved my beard from extensive damage. Now I know what you guys mean with awkward/scruffy-phase. Thanks again for all of your encouraging words!

Well, I must admit though that in a moment of mental aberration I trimmed some hairs at the corners of my stache.
Fail:
To me it seemed that I dont need those hairs to maintain handlebars They always bothered me, seemed to be out of place. Also a guy on a youtube-video trimmed those hairs to create a handlebar stache. Indeed it is now easier for me to create handlebars that look better than before. But I guess I will need them later. Maybe they would have become a part of my handlebars or connectors to the beard. Whatever, sh*t happens and I will let them grow back.

Except that misadventure my beard got more bulk and lifts from my skin. Still not happy with the sides and that I do not have sideburns. I know its pretty common but I sometimes get asked why I shave that part.

What do you think? Will this some day be a dense looking fullbeard? I would be also o.k. with some kind of riker/balbo-style...

Cheers from sunny Bavaria

Tom

With handlebars my self-confidence is not enough to go to work. Not YET
