It's been 30 days and I think the new look is here to stay! Thanks for answering all of my questions and what not. Sly 'till I die lol
I am sure by now the tone has started to even out and you've got your shave routine down to a reasonable time. The shaving time will continue to improve, as well as your technique. Your beard looks great with your sly look. Post a new photo when you can.
Congrats on the making it to the 30-day mark.
