I'm twenty five now and I can grow enough of a beard that it doesn't look like a shit stain, but I still can't grow the bit in between the mustache and the beard so it looks a little neck beardy.

But I can't win. It's either imperfect beard or look like a big twelve year old. Seriously. Last year when I was still clean shaven a woman started to give me advice for "When I get old enough to buy my own groceries".
