At what point does new beard growth stop itching so much that I want to claw my face off?

3 or 4 weeks.





It has to curl around enough to stop sticking you and become soft and fluffy.





Though, of course, it would be different for everybody and their particular beard hair.

Having a beard doesn't mean one can quit washing their face.

I've never really seen myself with facial hair, and I'm considering the no-shave November thing, but as crazy as it sounds, I don't know if I can simply not shave.

It's an important part of starting my day. I'd also be excluding myself from the interest of a significant percentage of women.

The best part is shaving it off and feeling the cool wind across the place where the fur used to be.

I spend more time shaving with a beard than without it.

I can't go longer than 2 months, then I end up shaving it all off.

I may go wtih porkchops for a week after shaving off the middle parts.

I have only shaved my beard off once since 1970. Wife had never seen me without it and started laughing. I grew it back immediately. Never remember it itching. ymmv.

I've never had the patience to go more than a week without shaving.  Doesn't help that the grey in my hair isn't noticeable, but my beard comes in mostly grey...

My job doesn't allow facial hair, which is probably a good thing because the stubbles are mostly gray now.

I have not shaved my beard in 6 months....it actually attracts women.

What is this "itching" you speak of?

Do you have face crabs?

I've had a beard for most of 10 years now, only shaved it a time or two.  The itching stopped pretty quick for me, a week or two tops.

It's about as long as it ever has been right now.  This is also the first time I have ever let the 'stache grow wild as well, haven't trimmed it in months.  The long mustache has been way harder to get used to than the beard, but it will be worth it when I land that Santa job over Christmas.

Cream rinse after shampoo helps.  

Last beard I grew didn't itch at all.  It was so light, I looked like Santa.  No mo beards for me.

Just entered a contest with my guys.  No shaving until March 1st.  Should be entertaining.

You'll want to pick up something like this.

How many days worth of food do you store in it

Few weeks to a month. Get a small comb to carry with you and comb it if it starts itching. Even when it's really too short to comb, it helps. I am about two weeks into my yearly winter beard so I'm in the same boat.

lol, well to be honest I try not to do that, but honestly when I've shaved or even trimmed closer than usual, I feel like I'm splashing my face with whatever I'm drinking, and frequently find myself having to wipe my chin.  So I guess the beard must be catching quite a bit, but it hides it pretty well.

In my 50's and never have made it past two weeks.
The itching drives me nuts and I don't care for the look. Who knows maybe someday. I remember my dad growing one in his 60's for about a year.

My beard itches from about day 5 until about day 7 or 8.

I'm not so sure about that. Without fail, every woman that I have dated has preferred me with some amount of facial hair. The hotter the woman, the more she liked me with a beard.

When I was finally allowed to grow one, I did it for a year, then got rid of it. I may grow it back someday.

Having an epic beard myself, I can say that just doing nothing is the solution.  Another few days and I bet you are home free.

Every couple of months I use hair clippers with no guard to shave. Do you even beard OP?

I only shave now once or twice a week.  One of the advantages of being self employed.  I can have a full thick beard in about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and mine never itch now.  When I had to shave daily mine would itch for a few days around week 2.
