A cosmetic question

That is impressive hair all around!

@luckow Just wondering if the starting length was 4mm and what you are really saying is that you shaved off your beard and the itching stopped:) FWIW, I have had a beard for longer than I can remember. Occasionally, it itches. Not sure why this happens, but hang in there.

I followed a variation of @scooke's story and trimmed 4mm off my beard. Guess what? The itching suddenly stopped. We'll see in two weeks whether this magic tip has helped.
@luckow I suspect that the ends are rough, and trimming trimmed them so as not to be rough, and thus, not causing itchyness. That is my guess in my own case, that when I let it grow longer without good beard oil that the ends were always rough; trimming didn't help because the beard hair had spent all that time growing rough, too (without good beard oil). Once I started over and used good beard oil, it stayed "healthy" and not rough tipped. So, in addition to your 4mm trim, be sure to keep it clean and use good beard oil (not beard moisturizer). Keep us updated!

quick update on itching (2 1/2 months later). After being comfortable with 4mm, I've been trying to figure out what happens when I go to 6mm. It took a while, but now it feels normal to wear a 6mm beard. The next step is to grow to 9mm (because of the trimmer).

New phenomenon: the beard is longer than 6 mm. I wrinkle my upper lip and the whiskers tickle my nostrils. Do you have the same problem?
Solution for the moment: Upper lip beard max. 6mm. We'll see about the rest. -
Just don’t smile
