Hey,
I started to grow a beard +- 1.5 weeks ago just to see what I can do with it.. I plan on growing it for 1-1.5 weeks before I start to do something with it and see if any beard look good on me. Some suggestions might be useful tho.. I don't really know if my beard grows well however it's better than most of my friends at this age but not sure if it's a good coverage at this point in my life... Pics below.
Need to get rid of my double chin...
P.S. I am using old phone camera to take these pictures and lighting screws things up a bit...

I think you've got good potential with that. Give it some more time.

Looks good dude.
I'm (obviously) a fan of facial hair as I sport my own. You have good growth there. Maybe experiment with a goatee of sorts?
You have a round face (like I do) and I have found keeping it trimmed and shaved off the neck, and shave and trim it down on the cheeks, also works well for a round face. Reason being is it adds more definition to the face. I have yet to try a goatee or patch on my chin, but I do intend to.
Overall, I say it looks good. Experiment with it.

You certainly have some real potential going on there, let it grow out for a few weeks and have a think about what style you want to settle on, you'll work out what's best for you.

Give it at least three months before making a final decision. Are you going to let the mustache grow in?

Three months is a long time, not sure if I can afford it but will keep it as long as it doesn't couse any problems.
As for the mustache. No, I can't stand a felling of having one...

I have few important business meetings to attend next week and I need to look professional. If I won't be able to get a good look out of it by then... Then I will have to shave it off :/ I at least I get my head fixed before than Hate that patch on my head now..
Believe this--you will never have a long enough patch of no "important" business meetings to get a beard to the mature level--that doesn't happen. But it's what's in your head, not on it or your chin, that matters. If you're well prepared everyone will understand the start of a beard--unless they're ignorant or "anti-beard" and then it won't matter what stage your facial hair is in. Dress neatly, conservatively, prepare for the meeting and show the preparation, and wear that chin mitten like a proud, bald man.

Patch was about my head hair which I talked in this thread:
http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=17959.0However I guess you are right about everything else..
Thanks for an advice. I have decided to grow my beard until the trip through Europe. Then I will see if I can make something I like with it or it will have to go away..

I am sure that in that time you will find something in that time, if facial hair is for you, that is.

Let your beard grown untrimmed for another month. Then consider having a barber trim and shape it for you.
