Hey everyone. As the title indicates, this is my first genuine attempt to grow a full beard. Right now, I'm roughly 3 weeks in with the definite goal of the full 13 weeks. I have mixed feelings about the results thus far, but after reading thread after thread of "success with patience" stories, I'm determined to let it grow. Like many first timers, I have positive days and days that I feel like shaving because of the patchiness, itching, and scruffy looking appearance. My goals include making it to 13 weeks with no shaving/trimming, and ending up with something that suits me well and that I can enjoy. Because I'm so early in the journey, I'm not quite sure what that may be. Tell me what you think!
