Beard Friendly Posts: 94 Nov 6 11 5:47 PM More My Recent Posts	Tags : blonde, 18 days, 21 years old Hello Gentlemen, I have been without a razor for 18 days now and feeling good. Also, doing this in honor of no shave November. My only concern is the neck coverage, and the question is do I have enough to sport a full natural beard? Tell me what you guys think. 18 days: Well here's the 3 week update below: well gentleman, 4 weeks in and I feel bearded. Say no to carving a neckline! lol 1 month down , 6 to go, just enjoying the process. Last Edited By: daautomator Nov 17 11 7:46 PM. Edited 9 times.

I would just let it grow at least 4-5 weeks before you decide anything. However your beard looks pretty good dude just keep growing.

You may have to carve out a neckline eventually. Just cut it as low as possible. As for the rest of the coverage, I think you'll be fine. I'm almost to the 8 week mark with a similar growth pattern and although it's not the fullest beard out there, I'm starting to be pleased with it. Keep it going!

Beard Regular Posts: 199 Nov 7 11 8:36 PM More My Recent Posts	The thickest part of my growth is on the bottom of my chin, like yours, and I can tell you that it will definitely help you out once you get to 6-8 weeks. My chin is the only part of my growth that gets tangled in a comb, and the hairs are stretching out pretty far. I never took any pics of the underside of my beard growth on the neck when I started out, but mine had a lot of scattered patches. Now those spots are filling in. Plus, no one really even notices that area anyways. I really think you'll be surprised in another month or two. At 7 weeks, it's only getting better for me every day.

Beard Friendly Posts: 94 Nov 8 11 12:03 AM More My Recent Posts	Yeh, my chin has always been the strongest part of my growth, hopefully the rest will decide to catch up soon. I just checked out your pics at 7 weeks and your beard looks really thick! If I get half that density I'll be happy.
