Hi, I've always only shaved once every three or four days owing to very sensitive skin on my neck. Lately I've taken to using my hair clippers with no guard, again to save irritating the skin too much.
Finally, the inevitable has happened and I thought 'you know what, I'm just gonna go for it'. I've been curious for a long time, and I don't want to go my whole life never knowing what it's like, so I thought now is the time, while I still have a bit of colour in it.
So, my reason for posting is that I'm only 2 weeks in, but because my neck hair does join up with my chest if I let it, my wife requested that I at least keep my neck clean. But now I think I may have committed a beard faux pas in doing so, after reading about uninterrupted initial growth - as you may see from the photos - I have a dodgy line that I can't quite keep straight going on under my chin. Other than that, I'm quite happy with the coverage I'm getting, although we'll see if any holes appear over the next few weeks.
My main question is whether I should shave and start again as I've only just started, or if I now let the neck go will it catch up ?
As far as style goes, I think i'm going for full, couple of inches, without a defined jaw line - kinda definitely there rather than anything whispy, nothing to fashionably styled, just natural but well kept (this is actually hard to explain...), and I'll probably go to a barber for maintenance as I clearly can't be trusted.
Looking forward to lots of chat and maintenance tips on the forum
thanks
