Greetings, Gentlemen. After years of assuming that I can't grow a good beard I decided to stop shaving and see what I can actually get. I am a week and a half into this venture and I admit that I'm not very happy about how it looks but I am resisting the razor in case there's more potential than I think. So far, the moustache region seems problematic to me. I'm not sure if this is abnormally sparse or "cactus-like". If it could fill in a bit with length I'd keep it. I don't mean any disrespect to the guys who choose the "Abe Lincoln" style but I personally prefer a moustache to balance out a beard, so that's what I'd like.
Apart from the moustache issue I think the sides are kind of meager, but the natural shape seems decent so I'm willing to give them a chance. I haven't cut or shaved anything so this is one week and 3 days so far (sorry for the goofy expression. I'm not exactly charismatic with selfie pictures):
