Well I want to grow some sideburns sinc eI have ones that only go about half way down my ear. I've been growing for a week but they don't match the ones I have. I want to link them together. No shaving is killing me. Can I just shave around it? Like the neck and such. Or should I wait until they match. Also is there anyway that I can thin out my existing sideburns so they meet faster?
