Beard looks awesome. But.. .I'm biased. Like me, you are able to
grow an Epic Beard. Now, not all men can grow an Epic Beard. In
fact, _most_ men cannot, judging by the number of, "Oh I wish I
could grow my beard like you but..." and I get to hear tales of
patchy spots on men's faces.
Random men mind you. Walgreens. Supermarket. Parking lot.
Apparently I look approachable like Jesus and people talk to me
sometimes.
Anyway, I'd keep it. If someone's on your case about trimming,
buy a $17 Wahl trimmer, use the 3rd smallest setting to do the
whole beard, then trim the edges with the 2nd smallest blade and
you're DONE.
Upkeep time: 5 minutes about every couple of weeks, or whenever
someone bitches about the beard being scraggly.
PS - I don't wear the beard for looks. I wear it because I hate
shaving..
