if you work in business environment they will expect a presentable beard also you can have a solid beard that looks neat not filthy.
That said I haven't trimmed my beard in a few months but its longer than the trimmers range anyway.
If you have a beard, guess what...., you're an idiot.

The last time I have been entirely clean shaven in the last six years was about three and a half years ago when I was on my first date with the mrs. So yes, I am a bearded arsehole.
I agree with the previous posts regarding the wankerish parts of this beard fad. I do however get annoyed that I've unintentionally fallen into this fad and get falsely recognised as being another trendy hipster doofus. There's no such thing as awkwardly sporting a $5 woollies flanno without being confused as being someone who gives a toss about wanting fit in with the current trend.
In my defense I have good reasons for growing a beard and have been n it for the long haul. One, I don't have a chin. Two, I'm a pretty gruff wanker that spends a fair amount of time out in the elements riding, fishing, work and whatever else.
The most appalling thing I see is the amount of patchy pieces of shit on sme blokes faces that are accompanied with long hair which is just barely long enough to be pulled back into a pony.

So you're a beard aficionado/snob?
What about having grey hair in a beard? No go or uber hipster?

I'm not trimming the beard. Just the mo so it only collects 25% of the food I shovel into my mouth and not upwards of 60%.
I'm currently up in Darwin and the amount of dandy arseholes with big trimmed beards and full sleevs tats is astounding! Even my kids have commented on the fad.
As someone who needs to be clean shaven for work I look forward to my annual leave so I can shun the razor.
And there is way more grey than black, but what is left on my dome is the same.

Resurrecting this thread for some advice /because its a funny read/ maybe get @johnny's ire up again
I've had a beard for about 10 years now, and on and off again the 5 before that. The trouble is its starting to get white in it (at the tender age of almost 35) and the Canberra cold air is drying it out so much that it becomes a hideous wirey mess.
I can't go clean shaven because I look like a kid. So I need some kind of trimmer. The trouble is that my beard hair is thick and hard to get through. I've got a Braun Cruzer thing that cant cut the hairs lower than my cheek bones so has sat in my drawer for close to a decade. I tried it again last night, no luck.
Anyone got a recommendation for a trimmer/clipper than will tame this beast?

You need beard oil...and then braid it like Gimli. Also grow a top knotted and get an owl tattooed onto your face.

Been bearded since I was a teenager.
Firstly, avoid manscaping at all costs.
Secondly, trim it short and keep it relatively short. Wash with gentle soap like Dove (yes, I use Dove).
Thirdly, beard oil... see rule number 1.
And remember what the Beards said: "If your Dad doesn't have a beard. You've got two mums".

Yeah, there will be no manscaping, just a way of keeping it all the same length and short. I do use beard oil but beard is a mess.
Cheers - theres a shaver shop nearby. Ugh its quite an investment isn't it.
