Lately I shave it completely off every 2-3 weeks. It starts to bother me around that point.

I shave my neck every 2 days during these 2-3 weeks.

I'm not hating, I just don't know how people do not use beard oils/balms/creams. Mine gets dried TF out if I don't.

Mainly because mine doesn't dry out. Only thing that will dry mine out is if I shampoo it every day. Found that out quickly when I first started growing one and haven't had an issue since. I don't even use "beard shampoo", just regular Dove.

I have a balm but rarely use it because of the shine. If it's unruly I actually prefer to use a little of my Old Spice pomade to style it that I use for my hair.

True.

Mine is all Joe Dirt-ish.

Mines too long to do anything with myself - it takes a pro. If I tried to scissor trim it I’d kill it.

I do trim above the lip to keep my mouth neat but that’s about it. Odd thing, my GF likes trimming it when I’m with her and she does a surprisingly good job.

Have it trimmed when I get my haircut every 4-5 weeks or "I look too Amish". In between cuts, I primarily just manage the neck and lips.

Shampoo daily, never use any oils.

I do my best to maintain it myself, but for some reason no matter how long I try to grow it, it won't grow past a certain length.

Same here. The only reason that I trim it is to even it out and to get rid of the wild strays.
I also hate the color. It's been solid white for 6 years. I'm 54 and I think it adds age to my face, but the wife loves it.

I grow it for a while, shave it off when it annoys me. Repeat. Never been able to stick with it for more than a month. I know bearded men are manly men, but it cracks me up to see a dude talk about his beardcare regimen. Sorry.

I also use that One razor, very happy with it. Bought one for each of my boys, too.

I can't get over how much dudes with beards constantly stroke and touch it. It's hard not to notice when some lumberjack is sitting at the table doing it.

I might test out rubbing my nipples at the table to see if it's socially acceptable.

Trim it myself with a wahl professional no guard once a week when I shave my head. And use these beard balm/butters, not as greasy as oil. Smells are amazing
