I have the exact same problem as Mike. I’m 20 and I can grow a full beard except for the middle of my chin and I can only grow on the sides of my chin. I keep a full beard year round (I’m kinda chunky and it makes me look good in a “rugged” sort of way) but I feel as if I look like a complete idiot because of this damned bald spot in the middle of my chin. ANY HELP!?!?!

Take heart from the Coach’s words, Bearless! I’m not much older than you, 24, and while my beard still has some developing left to do it still gives what I could grow at 21 a run for it’s money.

Weird, I have this exact same facial hair pattern. Anyone have any input as to how it looks after fully growing in? Moustache, chin, neck, mutton chops… Arrrrrgh!

Hey Adam,

I am 33 too and I have very less moustache and worse, only along the jaw line. Nothing seem to grow in the area right below my nose and above my upper lip. I really don’t know why it is so. I also feel in no way this should be any deterrent to my happiness level. If there is lesser face hair, i end up shaving faster

Hey there Beard Coach, consider me subscribed!

Just wanted to share my thanks for this interesting bit of insight. Many transgender men like myself view beards with a certain reverent awe, and eagerly look forward to the day when we too might pursue the noble facial fuzz.

Even those of us who have been voluntarily introducing testosterone to our bodies and studying its effects for years never cease to be amazed by the diversity of results men experience! (One wonders what wondrous revelations may lie in the study of female-bodied beard-growers.)

Patchy beard is definitely a regular complaint for many of us, and the brutal reality of how fickle genetics and biochemstry are can really land a blow on a guy who expected to give Grizzly Adams a run for his money after just a few months. It’s good to know even “cisgender/bio-men” commonly experience this kind of anxiety!
