Good day, gentlemen.
So first off, I want to say that I'm very glad to have found this place as a lot of the discussions I've read have been a real inspiration to me. It's nice to see such a supportive and helpful group of guys who are willing to offer advice to people like myself and so many others.
This will be the very first time I've ever attempted a beard - not because I haven't wanted to, but because I've always thought that I couldn't. I feel like my growth is quite weak and somewhat patchy, especially on the sides/cheeks, and this has always discouraged me from persevering. I don't think I've ever gone longer than about 2 weeks without shaving as I feel very self-conscious about it. However, I think it's now time to man up and actually give it a shot, regardless of how terrible it looks.
It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this, and I look forward to the epic, life-changing journey that I'm about to embark upon. With so many helpful guys and glorious beards as my guiding lights, I feel like my goal is reachable. Thanks in advance to all of you for any support and/or advice you may have to offer.
The pictures show about 2 weeks growth, give or take a couple days. I can't remember exactly when I last shaved.
