Welcome to the board! What you have growing is not bad. If you let it grow a few more months, it'll thicken up and look pretty good. As to softening the beard, length helps and some beard oil will also help. A few drops once or twice per day. Beards are more coarse than head hair, but oil doe help to keep it healthy and also softens it up a bit. Give that a shot. What are your goals? I'd like to see you grow a couple of more months and update your journey here. Welcome!
