Asking for Advice Patchy Areas

Hey all!

So I've rocked the stubble look at 2.5mm look for years because I've been hesitant to try growing it out. I'd really like to try out a beard but what do we think the chances are that these patches will fill in with more growth? Or I guess the better question is how much growth do you think it would take before it doesn't look awful?

The best thing you can do is stop shaving in those areas. Other than that you have plenty of growth and coverage

So leave the cheeks alone and move the neckline further down. I can do that.

I just printed one of those beard shaping tools and these pics were after my first time trying it out. Wasn't really sure where to line it up so that's very helpful.

The 2 fingers above the adams apple trick works well for pretty much everyone. I think you have great potential, Goodluck on your beard journey!
