My Wtf: I am attempting to grow a beard, and my face itches. Why am I doing this to myself? Science! I have never done it, and I'm curious how it'd turn out.

The itchiness should die down as the hairs grow out.

God I hope so *scratchscratchscratch*

[pisskop]

Mine get that way at about 4-7 days of not shaving.

I'm on day 5 I think, just a few more days then...

The moment I don't have to wear uniforms for NJROTC I am going to start growing a beard.  Because shaving is always a horrible experience if you have the slightest bit of acne.

Generally when the hair gets long enough that it stops either lying against the skin or sticking straight out, mind stops itching.

That, and you get used to what itches remains - until someone mentions it.

That certainly puts Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff in a different context.

Try shaving in the shower without cream, and then with it.  If you can, swing for more blades.  Like 4.  If not, mind the bump, so to speak
  The steam and heat helps.

Here's a bit of a WTF, if you want your beard to darken and thicken, you have to shave regularly.  Mine got so thick after my stint in the army that it completely destroys the edge of disposable razors, if I try to shave with them I go through two or more to get rid of the whole beard.  Tho' to be honest, my facial hair was awfully thick before that (just not two+ razors per shave thick).

Nah you just grow a thick beard - brads actually develop until you're about 26.

I'm hoping mine gets less blonde D:

I'm 31, almost 32 and my beard is still getting thicker, It just destroyed my electric shaver (oscillating blades) a couple months ago, and all I was doing was trimming it.

Hi Ben, Hi Ruth, view your dream home this valentines weekend

Title of an email I just got from a house hunting site I use. I don't know anyone called Ruth so I presume it's a profiling fail.

Have to disagree here; The only way I can clean shave without issue is with cream and a single blade safety razor (sharp edge on either side), the rest of what you say is spot on. Extra blades reliably cause me more irritation for some reason.

The biggest mistake I've made is not thoroughly cleaning the skin under the hair or keeping it warm enough (makes the hairs stand up). Use fresh blades or keep them in isopropyl alcohol between uses to stop microscopic rust cutting you. One other advantage with a safety razor is that the blades are much cheaper than more modern style razors and despite thick hair I've never needed more than one for a full shave.

The heat thing also helps with trimming an existing beard (hot towels). One thing to remember when trimming moustaches is that the hairs will appear shorter when dry so be careful cutting them wet.

I'm hoping mine gets less blonde D:

Most in my family have hair from brown to dirty blonde, but occasionally there is someone with a red beard and no other red hair, my brother is displeased with this for some reason (I think it looks cool on him).
