I'm not sure which one worked, but it's a huge help. Especially since my facial hair grows so slowly. It's gonna take me forever to grow this damn beard and I'd hate to spend half of forever itching like a bee attack.

Although I can't grow a full beard ( sides and bottom of mouth, mustache unattached) I have resolved to let it grow the recommended 6 weeks. I really wish there was a way to make it grow fuller, but I will wait and see how this looks. At 21 yrs old I hope to grow a full wire brush some day.

I let it grew for about 2 month. it got nice and full. I recently shaved it which felt very nice to but miss it at times. I also got positive comments when it was gone. So the people who didn't think much about it kept their comments to themselves which was also nice in a way. At first it felt strange as if something was missing but i got used to it. Now I have a light scruff is growing back and I love it. Growing a full beard it definitely an experience that every men should try at least once. You'd be surprise of your reaction once you shave it off I grew my my first beard over christmas break so when i got back to university it was a big shock to everyone and luckily enough I got all positive comments.

I didn't let it get to me and I persevered through many verbal onslaughts. When my beard finally came in fully and that last section connected (the mustache never came down quite long enough) I don't think I had ever felt so happy. Though I've experimented with different styles since then, whenever I invariably get back to the full beard I feel so comfortable and complete. To all those contemplating a beard, I wholeheartedly encourage growing it out. This is something all men should do at least once in their life because it's such an awesome experience. Persevere and keep your eye on the prize! It is definitely well worth the effort.

Nick: Good to hear that! Martin: Just commit to man up and make it through the itching stage. Try applying some moisturizer or other skin-care products that are meant to help relieve itching. Cory: That's great. Keep growing! Michael: Keep growing!

Of course he wife hates it but i am standing strong. I'm less than 3 weeks in and she wants me to shave it for a banquet we are going to tomorrow night. I told her I would trim the "strays" and brush it down but it is staying for a while........ she will get used to it. Grow on.

I have yet to have had anyone mention my growth in a negative sense, like michael I too have been growing mine for close to three weeks now and the itching is getting to be very annoying if Im honest. I resisted shaving below my jaw line ( below my jaw seems to be the place with the worst itching ) but I feel I might have found the support on this website that I needed. Does anyone know of any practical solutions to this problem or is it just a necessary evil that must be overcome??? Keep up the good work my fellow 'Beardies' !!!!!

After 26 years I've finally grown a pair of balls and taken the beard plunge. However the neck itching was too much to bear so I shaved it off from my jaw line down and now I regret it as the rest looks a bit pathetic. If I'd found this support group earlier maybe I could've resisted being such a pussy and stuck it out or trimmed the neck line in a better way. I feel like I'm about to hit the neck version of 'The Wall' so I need all the support I can get dudes!
