"I still don't know how anyone can grow one - I shaved at the weekend after 2 weeks because it was driving me absolutely insane."

I don't think it helps that I look like a tramp too. |

My current beard is regularly groomed and I've had it since end of October. To the guy who shaved after 2 weeks, you were so close lol. That is right about the time it stops itching! |

And I don't like tinned sardines... |

"I find porridge or egg particularly problematic. "
Porridge agreed!
With this beard, I'm experimenting with not trimming my top lip. I want to see what nature's plan is. It seems ridiculous that you can grow something that makes eating really really annoying. |

You may need to wax your upper lip so you don't end up with a soup strainer!! I currently have the same problem and have to use a moustache wax to shape it!! |

"Were the sardines in oil, or tomato sauce OP? This needs clarifying before I can comment further.
Extra virgin olive oil.  "
Now see, that's where your going wrong my friend. Sild and extra virgin would be a much better combination |

Need to always look after the beard. Can't be having fish walking around your beard. Need to make sure they stay well clear of all that.
I love mine. Have always had it, even before the 'trend'. As I now say, more hair on my chin than on my head. By choice may I just add.

By the way dear reader, if you're into the whole "manliness" movement you're probably aware of the Capt Fawcett range of crap to throw at your beard/moustache (eagle eyed viewers will be aware of my past dalliance with moustaches..) may i recommend the Booze and baccy cologne that they sell. My wonderful wife purloined me at bottle for Yule and everyone agrees on its exquisite aroma.. |

"6 weeks until my winter beard comes off and I embrace the summer barefaced. "
You should keep it until The Panther become Deutschemeister
Might be waiting a while though heh heh
On a side note about beard care. Always carry a comb. Works wonders for post food carnage |

Beard fact:
They fell out of favour during the reign of Elizabeth I when she imposed a tax on them in order to raise funds for her fleet.
I see they're making a come back. |

I would gladly pay a beard tax to fund our Royal Navy. |

"Having a beard seems like more upkeep than mowing my face once a week. 
Depends. I always seem to be plagued by razor rash and ingrowing hairs.

Don't shave yer arse "
Ooo no! I might catch a pile. |

You don't get that with a face mower though - I just use the pair of clippers.
Wet shaving is filthy. |

ASAÀAAAARGH! IT'S ITCHING.
Is there anything I can do to calm it down? Something to soften the hair maybe, and stop it antagonizing me...
Any help appreciated before my face ends up bald again. Thanks. |

I'd hardly call a weeks worth of stubble a beard. |
