Yeah I have really thick hair so by morning I'll have stubble...but I don't have enough to have a full beard...mostly goatee, lip and barely any sideburns...so it shouldn't be too bad while I'm learning...yeah I'm not a rusher and can't wait to have my routine started....this has been very helpful! I may look around an hour to an hour and a half at first.....like I said I'm aiming for this to definately be a relaxing routine!
