    Beard gives me a chin, which is otherwise weak. (This is apparently a common problem in modern humans. Too much utensil use and not enough flesh tearing begets a reduced jaw.)

    Even so, I take it off occasionally because, even when washed well, it will begin to literally irritate me.

    It’s my own hair. It’s not supposed to do that. And yet…

    aaand now I’m itchy.

      Get you one of these rubber brushes, put a little oil on it or just scrub your beard in the shower with it. This helps get down to the skin and also grabs loose/dead hair which can be irritating.

      NGL though that feeling of scritching through your beard from the neck going up is bliss

      Or that feeling when someone brushes your beard for you

      Ah I miss my beard sometimes

      Personally I just go with a wide curly handle bar mustache as I need to get a good seal on a respirator now kicks pebbles
