We've all been through puberty (hopefully), and most of us can grow facial hair. My sideburns came first, then my chin, then my upper lip.
Mustache, then bit on the bottom lip (like a flavor saver), later connected to my chin and then sideburns.
I didn't think sideburns counted as facial hair, unless they're some bitchin' mutton chops. But if they do, then I followed the same pattern as you.
You already had it.....Cheater! and my right below my bottom lip, then my upper lip, then the beard. ive got a beard right meow.
Forgot the neck-beard as a choice! I could grow a pretty decent neck beard that connected to the hair on the back of my neck before I was able to really grow much of anything above the jaw-line.
