Good day,
I have been reading AoM for a few days almost nonstop since a friend told me about it. It's a great site, and I decided to make an account.

I am 17 years old and I have been shaving for almost 4 months now. I am finding that the majority of my facial hair grows on my mustache and chin. I know that this is normal for everybody, but I also have a few random hairs growing on my cheeks. I am just wondering when a full beard will grow in. I have to shave my mustache and chin every few days, since it grows back so fast. Yet, the rest of my face grows nearly nothing. I still shave off the few random hairs on my cheeks, but they just grow right back, in the same random places. Is this just a matter of waiting for a full beard to grow in? Or do you think I am doing something wrong? Thanks a lot guys.

I couldn't grow a decent full beard until I was about 20, but as has been said before, some men are never able to grow full bears. Genetics play a large part.

I started shaving when I was about 16 but it was mainly just my mustache and chin.  I probably couldn't grow a decent beard until I was about 25.

Like most have already pointed out, most guys aren't able to grow a full beard until their 30's or so, but then again it all depends on the person and their genes. For me, I could barely grow a full goatee at 20, the rest of my face was incredibly thinned out. Then around my mid 20's or so I started getting the salt and pepper effect, now at only 31 my mustache and chin grow out the thickest while my cheek and neck area tend take a little longer to fill out, plus the majority of the hairs are white which make it look even less full. 

I think the longest I ever went without shaving was 2-3 months tops and I really could not compare my whiskers to your average red or brown haired bearded gentlemen. 

One full moon, now if it only worked for my head.
