Save or shave?

Hi guys, So, first time trying to grow a beard. Genetics are not on my side, but I wanted to try something new. This is now about 3 months in. I'm 37, so guess this is it ^{^} I'm torn between liking the change and wanting to save more, and just shaving if off as i feel it's too thin/patchy. So, I'm seeking your advice. Try to save some more, or does it just look like a failed attempt and time to shave? Attached some images from now, some from 6 weeks in, and one without.
