Mbt2002,
Welcome to the board. You are being way too hard on your beard. I think it looks quite good especially considering it is only 1 week old. The best advice is to just give it time to grow. You should let it grow for at least 6-8 weeks or longer to get a sense of your beard potential. You have already defined a good neckline and I wouldn't mess with the cheeklines, just let your beard fill in. Your mustache is filling in well too. Judging from your current growth, I think you will be able to grow a really good beard but you must be patient. If you check out my profile pics you can get a better idea of how long it takes for a beard to grow. My last shave was August 3, 2008 and each of my pics is dated. I did my first trim at 9 weeks. I hope you give your beard a chance. Good luck.
