I don't like shaving. Most guys don't. My wife doesn't like facial hair but alas she is away for awhile. I am ex-military. We weren't allowed to grow beards (not a submariner) so now I can grow a beard to save time.
For one, it itches like a bit@##. It is now long enough to grab (1/4"). I have tried a few times in the past, but after a week, it itches so bad, I cut the dang thang off.
Second, I looked into "how to make it softer". Dang you are suppose to oil it 2x per day. That takes longer than shaving.
I read to use coconut oil on the hair follicles to imbibe moister thus keeps them from being brittle.

Dunno, is it worth the time.
Of course a personal point. Also a desired look....mine is all grey:-) [Reply]
Oiling your beard doesn’t take any time at all. I use Duluth Trading Co. beard oil. Rub a few drops in after I shower and again around lunchtime. [Reply]

Foe homedics and severely dry and brittle beard use coconut oil. Dont laugh it really works and its really the only useful thing from coconuts. [Reply]
I've grown several beards. They do itch from about 5 to 10 days, then it gets better. I have never oiled a beard, just trim it and shave lower neck area. I agree, I also hate shaving. Enjoy the beard, while the wife is gone! [Reply]
When my wife complains about a beard I just throw back hair color. I married a brunette who wants to be a blond or redhead. Its a Filipino thing I think. She also was having her sister mailing her skin whitener from the Phils. The shit broke her out in hives lol. I just tell her to be who she is, but in one ear out the other. [Reply]
