I've been growing mine in due to laziness/the girlfriend likes it.
I'm growing some facial hair!

Eh, I've given up on it this morning and will likely shave it off tonight. It was coming in okay but the hairs around my mouth are coarser than pubic hair and, frankly, I found the damn thing annoying.

TREKER FAIL.

Not a fail, just didn't like it.
It's genetic, in terms of thickness, coverage, and growth. You also just may need more time, both in the short-term (to grow more) and in the long-term for things to fill in and get thicken. If you cannot connect the mustache to your facial hair or things aren't filling in, you may have to wait several years, or this may just never happen.
Punk. BTW, if you can't grow one as full as mine, you probably should give up!

Fair enough. I guess I feel a little let down. This thread promised big things and I was hoping you'd post a pic to show the end result. Instead, it's just pittering away like a dorito fart.

I'll get a picture and post it, haven't bothered to shave it yet.
I dunno, maybe I'll live with it for the reast of the week and see how it ends up before I have to go back to work.
I just find it more annoying than anything else, feeling the coarse hairs when I touch my face and and rub my lips together. Bah!
Oh, I'm sure I could grow one as full as yours.
Well, I don't know that for sure but, bah!

I've gotten to be the complete opposite. If I touch my face and don't at least feel some stubble it feels very strange. Especially my chin. My chin has not been clean-shaven in years.
I went two days without shaving before. Every weekend in fact. I think I'll share it with the world.
Someone else needs to take up the mantle and grow a beard, complete with picture diary - your BBS needs you!
FWIW I'm a hairy monster and could grow a full, bushy beard in a week. I never look clean shaven, even immediately after I've shaved.

I double-dog dare ya!
I just figured by age 26 what more is there to develop?
I think if I grew it out longer it would probably look like a Brandon Flowers (lead singer of The Killers) style.
ie.
And photograph yourself under the same lighting and from the same distance and angle each day, then edit all the frames together for a time-lapse movie. Watch your beard grow in 30 seconds!
I seem only capable of growing a 'neckbeard'. Darker hair only comes in on the underside of my chin and neck. I grow hair around the mouth and on the cheeks...it's just very light, and doesn't grow nearly as fast as the other hair. I'd like to attempt to grow it out, but it does end up looking a bit creepy. One friend told me she thinks it makes me look like a "Creepy Hobo Rapist". Comes in quite fast too...after 3 days of not shaving I have a decently thick stubble going on. I'd imagine that with 2 weeks of not cutting it off it would be quite thick and possibly look presentable.

Yeah, which is why I always shave at one point and never actually let it grow out. Too uncomfortable.

Not a good look. If your mustache doesn't connect with your beard, it just looks unfinished. Don't even bother!
