Thanks guys for the warm welcome.As I said, I had decided to grow my full beard again. This meant I needed to even out the other hair on my face. So this morning I trimmed down the rest of it.... It was a little bit of a shock because I think it was the longest I have ever let it grow. (still less than 2 inches, but seemed like a lot). Now it blends better with the other stubble on my face... it shouldn't be too long before it evens out.
