Hey guys!
I was looking online for styling tips and just doing general beard research, then I came across this awesome place! This is my 1st thread so here is a little about me. My name is Ricky, I am 22, and am trying to grow an epic beard + stache. I've always had some type of facial hair on me, but never wanted to try to grow a full beard till a year ago. I always recieved negative feedback mostly because I am brown, so that kept me away from it. After deciding 'F' what they think for being ignorant I gave it a shot. Had a tight full beard until last Oct. and then I really let it grow. I wish I had some pictures.. anyway. I'd put my growth at about 3/4 months for both beard and stache? They have both seen a fair amount of trimming over the summer, and I always end up taking a bunch off then letting it grow big, then taking a bunch off. Wish I knew for sure! Anyway..
To my question for you guys!
I just shaped up my beard today. Used some scissors to give it a tighter shape and rid it of stragglers. Now I love the beard so far, but I have come to a crossroads for the stache. I usually have it lay down and flat like below:

I gave a curved/handlebar style a shot:

As you all can see, it looks pretty decent from above/straight on. But from a diff angle, with my head slightly tilted up:

You can see it just looks thin?
With the amount of time I have invested, do you guys think I may have hit my terminal growth for the stache? Any tips or feedback on what I should be styling? If I contine with a curved stache, how should I proceed with growing it? Trims or just let it grow?
Thanks for any and all feedback!
Ricky
