baldbandit : Thank you so much, it means a lot for me your comments,  this time my goal is reached, so no more weekly update as explained on my update here .

takuypers : Thank you very much for this great message, for me your beard has a lot of potential, but you need time to optimize it, my mustache has something like 5-6months of growth for instance. Growing a beard take time,
And this is why ofc growing a year for you can be a good idea, and if i can add something, you can also make some surface trim if you want to make the beard neat always etc, it's not because you are growing a yeard that you have
to grow everything without touching at all ( but here there is an exception, the mustache, you can ofc trim the sides, but never touch the middle

Rene : thanks mate, this time it's the time for me, my goal is reached, ofc my beard is not as bigger as yours, but for me this is the real beauty of beard, everything is different between 2 persons, we all have difference, short beard long beard, different growth pattern, color, texture, etc.

Trick : Thank you very much for your comment, i remember again your first post on my thread when i was back on short beard, it's amazing how since this i really discover my beard. and now i have finally my beard goal, i'm proud, and you were so a great support, thank you.

Tienchyu : You will need something like 6 months on mustache i think to really have it bigger, about middle hairs etc, same for chin it takes time to grow. don't be jealous, your beard is really good, and you made great progress update after update, and it's not over mate ! it's just starting for you here.

MetalMungos : thank you very much, right now i'm not ready for long beard, i think i like to have a bottom of beard short, we are all different about taste and feeling i guess.

marton : Thank you very much, i'm glad you continue to comment on my thread , this time my journey is over, i finally succeed to find my own look.

Ronnie Van Beard : Thank you very much, your beard is just awesome for me, too bad you just trimmed the mustache on middle, for me you should give a chance, it takes 6 months to have a good mustache with your current coverage.

Wannabe Beard : Thank you ! I have luck about hairs right now, but we never know what can happen . genetic is special, and i guess everything can happen here, this is why i also like to have middle long hair, to just profit of the moment.

bikerapn : Thank you very much ! This time no more weekly update, i think now i have my real beard goal .

Beard69 : Thank you very much, i also think i prefer current look compared to the van dyke, but only because i it's my full beard here, and it's easier for me to have full beard, especially with a big mustache, for instance i'm not ready to have a solo stache. I guess it's all about education here.


WEEK9 UPDATE + GOAL REACHED

Finally, 8-9 weeks to reach my own version of Nicholas II beard.
Ofc it will be optimized time after time about the stache, but here we can clearly see the final version of my goal.
I decided then to make a whole beard trim, to optimize the most i can for this look, and starting now, i will continue to maintain, which mean the stop of my weekly updates, sorry if i wasn't clear because i thought
it would take like 16 weeks to have on my bottom of beard the necessary, but in fact i already have it right now, and then i don't need to grow more.

I want again to thanks all members who support me on this board, without all of you, never i would know about my beard.
It was really fun for me to try different style, especially VanDyke, but as some members said, i also think now that my current look i have today on this update, it's just the beard which can suit me the most.
And what a great gift for someone to have the possibility to grow the beard he has in model ?
It's funny for me to read my thread from start to today, because i can really see my evolution about beard knowledge, and confidence with the beard, and i can see how i found my own style during all this journey.
I'm a little sad because yes it's the end of this journey, but it had to happen one day anyway, it wasn't for VanDyke, but this time is the time, and ofc maybe one day i will update again here with a new goal !
Again, for me it's awesome that at only 24yo, i'm able to grow this beard, now i have the beard knowledge, i really know what it means, i have big luck about that.
