Starting my first beard (hopefully)

[Harleyman]

The itching will stop let it grow looking good.

UPDATE:

Became discouraged with the level of growth today.  Virtually nothing has changed since last time y'all have seen it (end of week 3) and today (end of week 4), so I considered shaving it back to the tried-and-true goatee.  When I got home today I decided to just edge the neckline up slightly and re-evaluate.  Happy to report it improved the look of my pseudo-beard nicely so I'm soldiering on for a few more weeks!  If only the cheeks would fill in I would have no qualms about keeping it up for the next few months...

Progress report..............?

Ir's going to take some time to grow a full beard...but I can grow a nice chinstrap in two weeks. Maybe when (if) my military career is over, I may invest in going through the itching for three months to grow a thick beard!

Try to remember your perception of growth is in relation to what it was, the beard grows at a constant rate, so the beard does double in length between week 1 & week 2, but only 50% in week 3 and so forth and so on.  Patience--it's 20-30 minutes to sly, a fully mature beard is going to be a 2-3 month situation--let it do it's thing.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to let the beard do its thing.  After I edged the neckline it has some semblance of a true beard and doesn't look quite as unruly.  I'm looking forward to where it goes in the next month or two!
