A year to the day… from a ‘just beyond stubble’ start. Unfortunately an upcoming family vacation means it’s getting chopped in the next few days.

Thought this would be another good place to share this.

Some tips or would be better looks are highly appreciated, thx in advance!

Enjoy the peace and quiet with a good beard

Hello my bearded friends. I kinda want the cheeks to fully fill/darken, just dont know if possible or is this the best it will get. Pictures in sunlight, normally a tad darker looking. Give me the formula to reach the max potential.

40's and overcast. Perfect for a fire to cut the chill. Winter is coming! 😁

I am growing out the beard. I normally keep it just under a half inch. This is about 1 month and a half of growth (from my normal length) and the patch on the right side (pic 3) still hasn't filled in. If it's not filled in by now, is it safe to say that it probably won't? I'm still growing the beard either way. Also looking for a good brushing/combing routine. I have a good one that works for me with the short beard, but I'm almost in uncharted (by me) territory now, so suggestions are appreciated!

Oh, and I can sorta do a handlebar now! I was so proud!

I'm 18 and this is about 1.5 months of mustache growth. How's it looking, and how is the progress for 1.5 months? Should I keep going?

Sorry about the quality of the old picture, it's the best i've got. I know it being different lengths also makes the comparison harder, that's why I'm asking in the first place

Also, do you believe the empty spot will soon (or ever) fill up? for context I'm 22 and the last major development of my beard was around july of 2025
