So, for as long as I can remember, I have always wanted a full and thick beard. I mean, who doesn't? I have sported a stasch for 5-6 years now, as a result of failing cheek coverage. I had hoped that the coverage would come in while approaching my 30s but it's a slow and tedious wait. This late winter/early spring I tried to go unshaved to find out if I had any potential but bad beard confidence made me shave in the 6th week.

Having found this forum, reading virtually every thread on patchy beard/slow growers/etc., I have decided to give it the full 13 weeks, hoping to a) grow a decent start of a beard, or b) finding out my potential. So, my goals are to grow as much facial fuzz as humanly possible, considering genetic factors obviously. A full beard is ideal, but time will tell what my growth will allow!
My main enemy in this hairy pursuit is, as in many cases, myself. As many struggling beardies out there my chin and stash is pretty decent but my cheeks are terribly weak. The hairs are thinner and more scarce, causing terrible selfconcious shaving urges. I used to belive that 5-6 weeks were enough to display a mans beard potential, but now I have a bigger motivation to get past the scruffy 5-8 weeks.
So, I am currently 4 weeks in (on the day) and this is how it looks:
