Well I had it for a month and was giving Santa a run for his money on the white bits. So was happy to shave it off.
There is a 1 - 2 day period over which it ceases to be itchy and then becomes utterly dashing. Blink and you'll miss it.
Your problem is you kept it too short. There is a point when growing one where it's itchy as fcuk,once you get past that it's fine
Let my beard grow out in December. Normally keep at around a blade 0 on the clippers. More stubble than beard. Don’t know how people keep a beard all the time, far too itchy.
This for me. Fiain are an Irish company that do some good stuff on that front. Would use them now for everything.
Have maintained a beard since lockdown. Have the trimming / maintenance down to a fine art and the misses gets me product to keep it soft and fluffy.
I love my beard, I'd definitely have made it as a Viking / Dwarf.
Hydro 5. For me.
I wouldn't be a shaving man beyond the clip pf the beard by the barber, but when I was safety razors were my go to. A fraction of the cost of the likes of a Mach 3, but a far better shave.
Change of topic but the new Gillette labs razor is fab. I think that’s me finished with the Mach 3.
He is. Sounds like an awful individual.

Is he after getting picked up in Romania on sex trafficking charges??
I started the video and lasted 5 seconds at most. State of him
That guy Andrew Tate must have taken a few too many blows to the head. It’s expect a better comeback from a 3 year old.
The army of complete saddo's Greta Thunberg has triggered is a pretty entertaining way to end the year.
Reminder to anyone who missed it. Just watched earlier. Loved it. Mildly funny and heartwarming.
Also if you’re interested in a summer read Elliot Ackerman (U.S. marine) has some good novels out but his real life “Istanbul Letters” is as good as you’ll get insight into Turkey from a western perspective.
Tokyo Vice worth watching. Also the new Jack Ryan season 3 and Echo 3
Very decent watch!
The English is good viewing. At least what I’ve watched to date.
My GP does a health check and presumably others do too.
Blood pressure, bloodwork and a talk about diet and vices and what you might need to start cutting down on. I've always been healthy and generally very fit but since my last health check have been reducing cholesterol.
Nothing major but better to know and I've friends that have had things surface in basic medicals which are life altering so I'm a big advocate.
Any recommendations for facilities that do this?
Thanks lads
Hoping for a swift and good recovery for your partner - as others have said, better to find these things routinely rather than abruptly.
Good time to say it - but for all the folks on here, get a health check this year - get it done early and make sure it's thorough. Knowing is always better than not knowing when it comes to health. Look after yourselves.
Hope she is ok, it’s certainly better to know about these things. Than not know.
That's rough. Hope all goes well.
Better to find it this way rather than an abrupt issue! Best of luck to her
My other half broke her tibia last week. Currently the owner of a metal apparatus to hole her leg straight until her next surgery. At the hospital, they found a heart valve defect! Another surgery coming up!
When **** flies.
My dad got covid just before Christmas (he's fine) but understandably he didn't want to infect the whole family. Unfortunately for me it meant I had to cook the dinner for the first time ever with a day's notice. Went surprisingly well! Hot plates and hot gravy was the best advice
I owe a debt to my "anonymous Internet friends".
That's you guys.
I'm not on social media... at all!
Boards is one of my primary sources of news, opinion and everything in between.
I will never agree with every single one of you all the time, but equally, I never expect any of you to agree with my notions every time either.
I look forward to another year of nodding, tsk-tsking, tututting and hell-yeahing to all of you beautiful, anonymous men and women on boards.
Please keep it up everyone.
Very grateful to you all. 🙏🏻
Happy Christmas, all. First year in awhile Covid didn’t come up in conversation; taking that as a huge win, and mad how quickly you’d have forgotten about it all.
