A few days growth is the way to go, having some stubble to rub when pondering things is what's up.

I can't stand the itching of more than 24 hours of growth...it drives me nuts. I can wash my face, take a shower or whatever, but my face will still itch. And somehow, I am compelled to touch my face...to say "Man, I need to shave!" and then the itching is worse...and then I want to cut myself. To end the itching. To end it all.

But then I just shave and everything is OK.

So, shave everyday and I won't have to cut myself, OK? :)

Naw, a shave so close, smooth, and comfortable that you caress yourself like you're "faceterbating" is what's up. :cool:

I had major itching/irritation when trying to grow a beard. After 2-3 days I could not stand it and would shave it off. My step-mother told me to try conditioner on my facial hair while trying to grow a beard, it will soften the hairs and not itch. Worked like a champ and have had a beard going on a year and a half now.

I can't go more than 3-4 days before the beard gets to be really annoying and I shave it. "Faceterbating" isn't possible for me, within thiry minutes I have heavy stubble. I'm part viking, part lumberjack, part barbarian. The hair on my chest is so thick that it could suffocate a man. My 5 o'clock shadow can grate a sheet of steel into fine shavings. Okay, those last two sentences were lies, but the first three were true.

I hate growing it, but I wouldn't feel quite as manly if I were one of those guys that never had to shave. I don't know why.

MoPHo is nuts if he's serious about that bowie knife thing. I'll shave in the shower (no mirror, still a perfect shave). I've never used a knife on my face though. I'd give it a shot if I owned a bowie knife, but I'd probably spend an extra 15 minutes being EXTRA careful

Be a real man, grow a beard.


QFT! I hate shaving, especially a 5-day old beard... Call me lazy. At least my woman loves it!
