I was in your position at one point, where I wanted to grow a beard but didn't really have a capacity. I agree with Giga. Just wait a little bit. But if you want to really see how you do, just don't shave for a few more weeks. A true beard takes about 6-8 weeks to be fully there. One week is hardly enough to determine if you're ready or not. But I encourage you to give it a try. There's no better way to learn than by experimentation.

Once, being bearded was a dream. Now, being bearded is a reality.
