this is why i'd give this a shot. as someone with shit hair AND shit facial hair (i've bic'ed my head, i ALSO have the worst headshape ever, it's really unflattering) i need some relief, a beard can make up for what i lack up top.
here's a link

I am going to try this with a once a day application (two if i am not lazy). i will post results every now and then.
also, I am 35 years old and have pretty much had the same facial hair pattern for the past decade.
