Does anyone have the issue where one side of their face grows faster and darker than the other!!!
My chin straps are always darker and thicker on the left side

Nature of the beast, and the moustache can grow slowest of all.  That's why to get an idea of what the beard is going to be, you have to let it develop at least a month before trimming, and only the slightest of trimming  until three months.  At that point you'll be able to even out these different growth areas.  I guess other than the itch these are some of the issues of the baby beard.

My growth is even, but have more gray on the left side...luckily it doesn't interfere with the goatee when I grow it...

Above the neck, the growth is fairly uniform.  The upper part of my belly on the other hand - the right side is quite a bit hairier than the left... go figure...

I kinda understand where you're coming from, my facial hair doesnt grow straight down the middle of my chain, and theres a gap in between my neck and chin where it doesnt grow, its steadily filling in though, i figured by 19 id have matured more :P

My beard sucks and it basically has most of the bad attributes a beard can have: bald spots, gray hairs, thin patches, regions of different colors, random "pubic" hair quality hairs (often in white).

The hairs I have on my lower lip are nearly blonde, and combine that with the fact that it's fairly thin and it makes the area look even thinner.

The right side of my face grows thicker and higher up on my cheek than on the left.

I don't think I have a place that grows faster than the other place, but even if it did: so what?  Just run clippers through it every 4 or 5 days and you'll never notice.

One thing that took me well over 10 years to figure out is that my face is not symetrical.  I cannot trim the left edge to match the right edge.  It looks symettrical from the front but the sides look different from each other.  I finally figured out that my jaw isn't symetrical so it's impossible for me to trim both sides perfectly identical.

Gray is a sign of maturity and, in my case, a past reckless life.............
