i have to shave every day because of work and i hate shaving but when on holiday or at weekends i dont bother but after a few days i hate the itching feel
Bear with it. Comb it, stick a bit of anti itch (Witch Doctor or similar) on. The itching does stop, and only starts again if it gets beyond it's regular length.
Beardy all the way here. Have been for about 5 years now. Usually use clippers on a grade 1 once a week. Still trim the neck without a clipper shield to keep it neat.
Let it go over the last couple of weeks though and it's probably longer than it ever has been. Feels a bit strange but i'm sticking with it.
Wife likes it too (bonus) - what's a beard really when her husband still buys toys?
Great beard vid...
