I think having a full beard is a pain in the a**.. i can grow a full beard in 4 or 5 days (it’s the Sicilian from my mother’s side)- but maintaining it is an itchfest … Personally ive always been a stubble guy.. so instead of dealing with beard trimmers and the like, i will shave my face once per week, or twice per week at most, since as i mentioned if i go a whole week without shaving, i tend to find myself with a full-on Grizzly Adams .. so i rock the stubble, and to me it looks and feels better than a beard or a totally smooth face .
