I can rock a goatee like it's nobody's business.  But outside of that it comes in all patchy

I'm the opposite. Bald chin but super bushy on the sides.
Though letting it grow does seem to be encouraging my chin hair follicles  to regenerate

[Grey Fox]

Let it grow, you gotta suffer the patchiness. Trim down when it gets ridiculous. Eventually, it'll be full.

So what do you do in the meantime when you look like a homeless dude?

You look like a homeless dude.

I think Alt-Right is a bunch of unfunny not clever internet memes made by douchebag 20-somethings for the LOLZ.

CNN had a review of both Devil's Bargain and Shattered this weekend.  I thought this part was interesting:

Biggest revelation:

Bannon conceived of activating the internet's legions of disaffected, meme-addicted young males after investing (and losing his shirt) in IGE, a Hong Kong-based business that "farmed" gold and virtual items for resale to online gamers. Bannon realized that these underemployed and overeducated denizens of message boards like 4chan and Reddit were susceptible to misogynist and racist symbolism (when disguised with snark) and highly adept in launching viral campaigns. They became the digital shock troops for the booming growth of Breitbart News and, later, the Trump campaign.

So he was able to take a setback and turn it into a victory.   

(Or maybe it should be since allegedly he has an oil painting of himself reimagined as Napoleon Bonaparte in his own office.)

Me too;  it takes 6 months though. Up to then I just look like a 16 year old Latino busboy, all patchy in some places and downy soft in others.  Then one day, and I look like the head biker from Breaking Bad, streaks of gray along my Fu Manchu line.  But can't grow a full beard; too many bald patches, like Dad.

It is true though;  the more you grow it out and shave it, the thicker it grows back in.

My beard comes in think, but if it grows long enough I get the Hasidic curls going on. or I did, I haven't grown it out that long in years.

[The Brain]

I often stopped shaving over the summer holidays, and a couple of years ago I decided to keep the result. So now I have some facial hair thing going on. I get just enough to make it kinda work. Chicks like it.

Agreed. People who can't grow facial hair properly shouldn't have it.
