@Beardedfather/Tom, thank you kindly for your continued support and well wishes! It truly means a lot to me! I tossed the scissors away and have no intention of using my beard trimmer except for trimming off the random hairs that pop up on my cheek line. They aren't part of my beard so they must go! And thank you once again for the compliment! I like the looks of my soul patch, and now with no more ingrown hairs, I have no reason to touch them! Don't worry! I promise you that my beard is and will remain 100% untouched until I see fit!

@Williams, your words fill me with happiness and encouragement! I deeply appreciate it, my bearded brother! As for weekly updates? I'll have to see if I can get motivate myself enough, haha! In my honesty, I don't feel like I usually have the time or energy to do so with everything going on in my life. Maybe I'll take a swing at it in the future! No promises!

Also, sorry if my deleted post threw any of you off. I didn't see the other replies and I wanted to make sure I replied to you both!

God bless and beard on!
