GUYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH for saving my beard from a hasty action in a moment of mental aberration. The barber wasn´t allowed to touch my beard today because of your great comments and fast help! I made up my mind to let the beard do his own thing and I make a decision in a few more weeks. Thanks again for the help and encouraging words. It really means tons to me! Chapeau!

I feel better now and the cold is slowly fading away.... Still not feeling bearded all the time and I often think I make a fool of myself especially on work. I know it´s all just in MY head but its hard to get it out there...

My beard is in a scruff-phase but the only one who sees it seems to be me   because nobody mentioned it. I had to trim the tips of my handlebars a little, because of split-ends Maybe I did a little to much, but it will grow back soon
I accidentally trimmed 5-6 hairs on my left cheek while trying to get rid of some strays above. First I was really mad, but again: They will grow back soon

To my fresh haircut today: I told the barber to shave the lower part of my sides and he did it. Although you still see the stubble on the pics, it feels smooth and I like the fade out which makes the beard more "stand alone" . Maybe I tell him to shave higher next time. Step by step.

Enough said, Pictures from week 12:
