Heh, I guess I'm lucky. I had a full dark beard when I was 15. It's good for hiding my Peter Griffin chin.

Shave it.
The rumor is that shaving hair actually makes it grow thicker next time, not sure if this is true. Either way, just letting it sit there isn't going to help. Might as well shave it.

The rumour is false.

It's true in the sense that shaving leaves the follicle blunted, and thus with more surface area, which makes it look larger. I myself cannot appear clean shaven due to black hair+pale skin, no matter how close the shave is.

Have you tried a straight razor? Seriousy though, better dark hair than mine; my chin covering is a 50-50 mix of dark copper, and platinum blond. Which means that my beard always looks a lot sparser than it is, and takes a lot of careful grooming to stay long enough to fill out, without getting so long that it starts to curl.

just shaving when needed until the point where facial hair grows on me properly?

Do that. Not much choice, is there?

I've got a near black beard, but some single beard-hairs are red-ish.
Also Armokforsaken brittle. Breaks away at a finger broad... No epic beard for me.

i can grow a proper beard, i just keep it in short goatee and mustache, when i grow it long the chin turn coppery brown.

Have you tried a straight razor?

I do not seek to acquire massive facial scaring. I also doubt it would work, I shave down to the follicle. You'd have to take off a layer of skin to make it less dark.

Straight razors aren't that hard, I don't even usually use water with mine. The main trick is to avoid shaving off all your skin.   

I can't seem to grow anything to connect my mutton chops to my potential bottom-half-of-a-goatee, which is somewhat disappointing. Still waiting on that mustache and those mid-jaw patches. On the other hand, my mutton chops grow almost as fast as my scalp hair. Further bearding should be intense.

[Max White]

Don't use a freaking straight edge! Not unless you think ingrown hairs are sexy.
If there is short stubble that you can see but not really feel after you shave, you have done it right.

[penguinofhonor]

MSH, you could wax your facial hair.

I mean, it'd be pretty painful, but if you really want to look clean-shaven, there you go.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Go mutton chops + 'stache and act like an (American) civil war general until your beard fully matures.
