My whiskers filled in enough for me to grow my first full, mostly-symmetrical set around age 21, but I didn't see the cheek lines and over-the-throat areas arrive at true fill-in and symmetry until my mid 30's. I might even have failed to notice their arrival for a few years because I had been experimenting with different styles. bb, since you’re that young, rest assured you can look forward to quite a bit of “filling in.”

I know there are some people who haven't gotten used to talking comfortably with men whose facial hair makes some lip and cheek movements difficult to see. Therefore, your map, grown out, isn't as abrupt a cultural filter as mine is. Why or how did you get an apparently unique mustache map in your family? I can only guess, yet I strongly believe there's no need to harbor doubts about paternal identity. Recessive genes (both mother's and father's genes control a man's beard)? A new (and not necessarily bad) mutation in your family? Different experience in your mother's womb? Different experience while growing up? My facial hair is different from my brother's in color, texture, fast-growth areas and slow-growth areas, but we and our cousins who share our surname also share the same face structure. bb, I’ve seen that map on some men, in weekend stubble and real mustaches.

After the hairs grow longer, they'll lie along the skin instead of trying to pierce it. Then consider any trimming or shaping there. If you shave there, the shaving will have to happen daily to keep a consistent look and prevent the return of the inverted pincushion.

But my problem is that I have a very "strong" "big" "pointy" whatever chin that juts out. While I like my chin, the whiskers growing down from my lower lip are growing right into my chin and visa versa. Its becoming pretty annoying/painful. But I'm afraid that if I try to trim it short in that one spot it will throw everything off. Any thoughts? Heyo,
