I have a pretty thick and full "ginger" beard despite my dark blonde/light brown hair. The mustache not only comes in the thinnest, but light golden blonde despite the full red chin, cheeks, & neck! It grows just as fast so if I shave the beard and leave the mustache, it is barely visible from a far. It's a surprise stache', not visible until 5 feet then woo where'd that come from?
I know I can't be the only one.

Same brother I use the back blade on a proglide or the pop-up on an electric trimmer. I hate that damn unibrow.

My friend's noggin' is "Ginger" but his beard and stache is dark dark brown. He says it's kinda weird but it is what it is.
You're not the only one. I have never attempted to grow a full beard but I suspect if I did it might be patchy in at least one spot. That being the case I will never grow a beard. There is nothing worse than a man with a patchy beard. A patchy beard is as bad as a comb-over. Look to the bright said, at least this gives you more real estate to shave
Ugh, I was able to grow a full beard at 14, lol, what a pain it's been since up until I discovered wetshaving a few months ago. Up until then, I would always use and electric beard trimmer as I would get worse rash using the plastic shavers.
I absolutely love wet shaving, do it every day now, no rash or ingrown hair when done properly pre and post shave.
I have read that onion juice rubbed on the face will promote hair growth, old wives tail with some truth in it? Let me know, ha ha.

To be fair, my father has very, very sparse stubble and I think I have a little more than him, but I can easily go 3 days between shaves without looking any more than a little bit scruffy. Every other day is my normal interval, just to keep clean shaven for work, but even then I don't really need to.

I can grow a pretty good beard. The things is, it makes for my unmanliness in other areas!
I have that exact same issue. It doesn't look awful if I grow just the moustache and goatee out-people say it looks like a like French artiste or 'Jack Sparrow'-type beard. It looks ridiculous if I haven't shaved for a few days though, and have an otherwise full beard coming through; have had people ask why I'm shaving between my moustache and beard!
The wife finally made me trim this gnarly mess but it's going to come back but tamed a little better. Might add this stache I've pasted over mine as well.

I appreciate that bit of knowledge but I know SWMBO would kill me if I walked around smelling of onion lol.

Yes sir lots of "real estate" to shave indeed. I definitely agree a patchy beard and comb overs are horrible on the face of anyone.
Well at least none of you will ever go bald.
The few times I have grown a beard, I had to start the moustache two weeks earlier than the rest of my face. Otherwise, it would have looked very uneven.
I'm Italian and shave every 2 days because i want to. Otherwise, I could shave every 3 days and get away with it. And I'm 57...could probably grow a full beard but that would take at least 6 months.
I'm Danish and Norwegian. Full on Barbarian Viking. I can't grow a beard to save my life. After about a month I get kind of a scrubby, light goatee type deal. It's patchy at best.
Same as this???
Welcome on board, my grandpa from my mothers side had the same pattern as the guy in the picture. I have inherited it from him because my father and brother had full beard growth. I'm 24 and I don't think it will change, it's fine with me nothing to worry about.
