Feels like great progress for 2.5 hours and counting!
Old pic of me is from about a year ago with a freshly trimmed beard, the two cheek pics are from yesterday right after my session, and the swollen jaw pic is from just a few minutes ago. :)
I've been really pleased with this process so far! I actually find it really relaxing, almost meditative. So far the worst part about this whole process has simply been holding off on shaving before and right after sessions. Virtually no pain, though she hasn't gotten into sensitive areas like my upper lip or neck yet, so TBD. My upper cheek was always less dense than elsewhere but this is still a much larger degree of coverage than I expected so early on!
Given my overall density I'm trying to be realistic with my expectations, but going into all of this I assumed I'd need like 300+ hours and now I'm not so sure.
