I use hand lotion to keep it soft while it grows in.

enjoy the discomfort soon your upper lip will start to stink, then bugs will start making there homes in your side burns, and it will stay a splochy.

HAha kidding, no it goes away after it is about 3/8 to 1/2 inch long

As said, suck it up. It's not so bad after few days.

Shave it off if you don't want it to itch. Give it a week or so to grow out and you'll forget it's even there.

damn right. I hardly even think about now whenever I get crazy and shave my sides down or do the unthinkable and shave my chin.

Cum. Have a friend jerk off onto your face. Then rub it in.

Thanks for the info, guys.

I woke up and shaved it off. Where was my determination? Where were my balls of steel? Ah I'm still looking for those.
The itchiness, the scratchyness, the horror!

Speed_Gibson

my general dislike of having a clean-shaven face for long periods of time (as in shaving at least my chin more than once every 6 months or so) has almost always over-ruled any kind of discomfort.
There are periods, especially during the summer months or major job interviews, when I cut it down to a Van Dyke or Goatee but just recently decided to start using the clippers on very high setting like 5 or 6 and let it grow out the whole year.

Shave it.

Sorry...some guys I are just a little more suceptible to the itch.

I've had mine for 4 years, when I cut it shorter it still itches like hell... the worst thing you can do is scratch. Other than that I am a big fan of the beard. I think it makes me look ruggedly handsome. Yeah, that's it.

I'm (thankfully) clean-shaven now, but last year had a goatee with the approximate texture of a brillo-pad. I grew it for a contest, and after about 3 months it still itched all the time. On the other hand, when you're trying to waste time, stroking a beard is a good distraction, and people think you're an intellectual! (all I was thinking was "god this is itchy...")

I grew one about a year ago and it itched for about 7 to 10 days. I had to shave for a good face mask seal last month to go diving. It barely itched at all. So maybe it gets better each time.

Mine has never, ever itched before. Don't really know why. Maybe I just don't remember it itching (it was a while back when I first grew a decent sized one for the first time). But now it doesn't itch at all when I grow a new one.

Itching? Itching? Beards don't itch. Perhaps it's catching the water and keeping your chin wet for too long... Try Lotramin Ultra.

crow_daw

Yeah I can't recall my facial hair ever itching either.

Now my pubes..................

My face itches like hell if I let it get longer than 1mm or so. Thats why I *have* to shave after about three days.
