No. After a few days I get scratchy and a tendency for ingrowing hairs.

Went feral in Sept when I was in Canada for a few weeks - the beard remains 🙂

Miss my beard (if you could call it that) 😥 , was ace in winter.

New business means it will not be back for a few years. I need a few weeks to bed it in so always grow it on holiday.

Beardvember is over plus was looking through our photos for christmas pressies and realised what a scruffy ****er I look with a beard so keeping the stubble short from now on. (or atleast until I cba, running the clippers round my face [b]every few days[/b] is so tiresome 😉 )

a tendency for ingrowing hairs.
thought you got that from shaving.

I stop shaving in October normally. Keeps my face warm.
By April I look like grizzly Adams.

Must be 14/15 years since I last scraped my chin with a sharp piece of steel, if it's itchy try just shaving the bit where your shirt collar goes.

Started growing mine just to see if I could. I've grown quite attached to it now.

Depends on whether your wife/GF/BF or whatever likes the feel of the hair - you know, Christmas and all that... 😉

not been beardless for over two years now.

hack it back with the clippers to a #2 once every 3-4 months or whenever i'm going back to the UK.... the hassle/moaning/comments from my mum are not worth the effort.

Apart from the odd break for a week or two, (shaved to get married etc) I have had a beard for 34 years. 50 now and it's getting a bit badger like. Sadly I am no longer allowed to go the Duck Dynasty route.
