Beginning of week 3. I did end up trimming the neck line. It was starting to look like a jungle.

You've got a first rate full beard going, really first rate! Keep up the good work. In about another month you will be moving into a mature beard stage. Good color & coverage too.

Thanks Saint! I'd like it to be a little more full on the upper checks but can't do much about that. We'll see if a little more time helps to fill them out.

Looks good. The upper cheeks will fill in in time. Just be patient. The beard really suits you.

Just to emphasize what Razor says--the fill in will occur. It will become clear to you, if it already hasn't, that the growth rate varies from upper lip, cheek, chin, etc. That's why it is essential to allow time for the slowest growing parts to reach a pretty good length before you do any real trimming. What looks thin now may at the end be one of the apparently densest areas. But, to repeat myself, you're well on your way to a killer beard. Now it's an exercise in patience, the beard will do the work if you let it.

Doug, that looks SHARP. My beard is not that thick. So I need to let it grow longer to look decent. I would not sweat the 'upper cheeks'. I think it looks great.

I hear you Doug about the neckline. For me, the lower part grows upward, and eventually clashes with the rest of the beard growing downward. So I shave the neck area clean and keep the beard at the jawline/chin area.

Doug, if you add a little white there in the beard, it will start to look like mine!
Looks great.

Time to update my profile pic because the beard is no more. I let grow for ~5 weeks then started trimming it back a little for a more crisp, clean look. Well yesterday I went to a barber and got my first straight razor shave. It wasn't the most pleasant (read: painful!) experience, but the pampering aspect of it was nice.
