Hello fellow community of the beardbrand.

I have a question and i want you to help me but first of all let me introduce myself...I'm 16 years old almost 17, I'm not that hairy overly in my face but I'm sure above average for my age!I get soon facial hair so i have shaved enough times with both a razor and a shaving machine. I wanted to grow a full beard and i started growing one and untill now it's been 21 days, so i was only trimming my neck but it was still getting a little itchy which disturb me a little bit. So here is my question: Is it too early to grow my beard? Because it doesn't get that full and there are a lot of spaces that make me to not like it that much

So what do you think should i leave it be or should i shave till I grow more?

Here are some pictures so you can see how it looks.Forgive me for the bad pose i was really bored when i took the photos :P By the way what do you think about my hair?(im growing them out)

  For your age you have a good base. Shaving however isn't going to cause your beard to come back more full. From the look of things you're going to have a great beard! You should definitely let it grow out further just to see how it looks. In a few years you'll probably see a significant increase in growth. Cheers!

  I agree with Parker and think your beard looks great for a 16 year old. My recommendation would be to keep it about that length and use a trimmer to maintain it. It'll only fill in over time and as it does, you can try giving it a bit of length.

  Your beard looks good for your age. I kept it pretty short allowing it to fill in for about 6 months before finally deciding to grow it out. It's now been one month now and my beard is coming in very nicely. Don't get discouraged!

  You mentioned you have some spots that you don't like that much on your beard, so my one word of advice would be this: no beard is perfect and I'm sure every guy out there has parts about their beard that they're uncomfortable with. But over time once you get a little more experience with maintaining your beard and finding the length and shape thats right for you, those insecurities go away. So don't panic, you got alot of time ahead of you to grow your beard
