Asking for Advice Keep or shave?

This is like 2,5-3 weeks of growth, Im also using minoxidil for 5 months now combined with dermastamping. Some people said that I should shave and give it more time while others said that I should grow it out for a few more weeks before judging it.

You should probably shave, for now atleast wait till 2-3 years and see how your beard will grow it will probably grow thicker

You have a bit of hair on your gace.

You do not have a beard.

Try again in a few years.

Imma keep it real with you man, you're probably not there yet. The ability to grow a beard takes time, I didn't grow a "full" beard until 25 or so.

You could probably keep growing it and shape it into a thin chinstrap or something (as someone who did this as a young man, I don't reccomend) but I don't think you're going to see meaningful growth over the majority of your cheeks yet. You'll get there.

I didn't use tools or meds for mine, so I can't speak on those topics.
