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..
