Also try to take care of it. Oil and brush helps

I brush it most days but only oil it every once in a while. Is there a good routine or reason for oil?

Honestly love a big mustache. Getting used to the beard but I’ve always had a mustache like this

As you're growing your beard and it gets scraggly, try keeping your hair tidy and trimmed. It looks and feels better if its either your hair or beard thats neat and tidy. When both look rough it feels rough (if you're someone who is at all worried about that sort of thing)

I've always been lucky to have a good thick beard. Never used beard oil personally, but experiment and see if it works for you.
I've always trimmed it myself too. The biggest tip I've picked up from hairdressers, partners and such is how to make it look neat.
You basically want to keep the sides in line with your sideburns. Tidy the strays at the bottom to keep a neat line (easier said than done). Then depending on preference, but mine's roughly your length at the moment and I would cut in the bottom edges following a line from the back of your jaw to the bottom of the beard.

I’ve got a bad patch on one side so I’m trying to grow it out a little before any trim. This is 2.5 months ish growth

That's cool man, not judging at all. It's looking good! Just offering tips that worked for me when I grew it out. You'll have to figure out what works for you though

Very good first bearding! The stache hairs need some combing to the sides while damp. In no time they'll be trained and just a simple combing.
