Keep shaving until you are 30. Before then, you'll just look retarded to anyone over 18.

Ya I'll probably look back at pics of myself in about 20 years and say what the hell was I thinking but for now i think my 3.5 inch long gotee looks kool.

As a person who grew facial hair really early in life. If you are hairy, shave and it will get thicker. If you are not heiry, don't even think about growing a beard until you are older.

At 18 I had a full beard that was thicker than most of the 40yo's

I'm with Shartley on this one: keep shaving it till it doesn't come in patches or peech fuzz anymore. This came pretty quickly with me when I started to grow this goatee I now have (and it does look pretty good. I've made sure of THAT from several reliable and older sources who would know), b/c I shaved my face daily (except for the goatee area) and sure enough, after a month or two, I started getting REAL 5 O'Clock shadows and the 2nd day (w/o shaving) itch. THe worst is the hair on your neck! That stuff is a pain the the ARSE to shave, b/c you can't always get it all, and when it's growing around your adam's apple, then you have to be VERY deft with the razor, lest you cut yourself.

Oh well, just keep shaving: it'll start to grow in quite thick after a few months. Trust me.

Um... (cant beleive noone beet me to this...)

Hit puberty first :P

/Zing!

Seriously keep shaving until you have a full growth thing going. Then growing a beard becomes like some sort of primal man right of the long weekend.
