It seems like they're not connecting all around on the sides.  Is there anything I can do about that?  I want to grow it in fully.

looks good the way it is imo

I can't grow a good goatee either, I can do the chin part and the mustache part well, but everywhere else looks bad. It's a shame, I've always wanted a goatee  

This was me after about 9 days-

I have a friend who believes in using a Sharpee... (this is not a joke)

1. It looks fine to me the way it is. Looks nice and neat and trimmed.

but

2. If you don't like the fact that the stache doesn't connect to the beard, just keep the beard part. That's what I do because although my mustache does connect I look diabolical with a mustache and so always keep the stache shaved.

Nine days--BB it's going to be 30 days before anything can be decided, 30 not 9, and probably 3 months, yes months, until you begin to see what your current beard will do and six months until it's mature.  As you get older it will probably improve, but for right now just let it grow and don't worry about it at all until 30 days, and don't think about shaving or massive trimming until 3 months.  Beards require time and patience--if you haven't had serious itching you don't have a beard experience!

I'm going to try and go without shaving for awhile, the itch is what usually makes me give in and shave it all off. Also I can't seem to get used to the feeling of my beard rubbing up against my pillow.

I wish I would grow hair on the sides of my mouth, that way people would know I'm trying to grow a goatee. A mustache and chin patch just looks weird lol

I don't have enough hair in the right places so do my best to blend and deceive!  I doubt I'm fooling anyone.

Really? Your goatee looks good.

[YohaiM]

BaldBradley,you look great without a goatee,so it doesn't matter.
As opposed to you,I look terrible without one,and I wish I could shave it off.......

Thanks buddy. I've always wanted a goatee, but I think it would look weird on me because I am younger.

I grew a goatee for senior prom. I was in the bathroom and this guy says to me "Hey. I think you missed a spot shaving" It will come.

[Jack21]

Why do you wish you could shave off your goatee? It looks good. Is it itching you?

COOL!  It 's working!

It wasn't full enough, and I felt like the dude from V For Vendetta. I only had it for like 3 minutes before I took that picture.

Patience.  It's hard to persevere through the early scruffy stages, but the end result is well worth it.
