I posted this the other day. In the ?? early 80's?? (so I was about 30) I got one HELL of a case of flu, and was ill for WEEKS. I just quit shaving. Had the beard ever since. I have a pretty heavy beard. Don't know what to tell you about yours.
Thanks. My other problem is it looks like crap. Might wait a few years until it is all gray. Kinda looks like dirt now.

I think it's part of the initiation. Unless you're one of the lucky ones that stubble crap doesn't seem to bother. I've had a beard of some sort or other for the better part of 50 years. I shave it off once in awhile and then grow it back. It takes me about three weeks of pain and suffering before I get over all that itching and scratching. So the short answer is it takes time. Steve
I never liked shaving so when I retired I said to hell with it. I got a Wahl trimmer with the little shoes that let you mow it as much or as little as you like. I give it a go-over about once a week and keep it about a half inch long. Easy-peasy.
When I trim it short and it gets itchy I rub in a little vaseline. Right now I letting it do it's own thing prior to being trimed soon. Lol
If I keep mine short, it's fine, but when it reaches about 3/4 to 1 inch it drives me crazy. When I'm able to get past it I'm fine after that, but usually I trim it when it gets to that point. 'Course that's only on my chin, the sides just never seem to get beyond the stubble/scruffy stage so I just shave them and stick with a goatee and mustache.
Ya... soon would be good. LOL
Thats what I do now, just want to be a little more distinguished.

Just make sure to grow the beard to a point and handle bar the stash.
Problem is accommodating a paint respirator for now.

Just let it grow once it gets past that ichy length you'll never notice it again. I hate that itchy stage too that why I don't shave lol. I had to shave it back in May for a respirator haven't shaved since. I usally keep a pretty full beard.
I think I may go for something like this. Mine used to be awesomely RED. Now, not so much... I also have to wear a paint respirator. I finally managed to force myself to stop shaving this week.

Thats pretty much how my beard looks other than it has some grey. I don't like it. Not full enough for me to have the look I want.
The first outgrowth is annoying, for certain. The tickle, the itch..AAAaaaaAAGhhh!
I spent most of my life clean shaven. The few times that I tried to grow out anything were met with my usual lack of patience and I usually shaved by week 2.
In May 2018, I grew out the fuzz. The Wife really liked it so it stayed. I have shaved it off twice but immediately grew it back.

Mine itched for a few days, now I don't notice it.
I let mine go during this COVID crap. Right now I'm looking like Grizzly Adams, long hair and all.

Nope can’t do it. 5’Oclock shadow and that’s it
Like THIS guy??
Funny story.....
About 15 years ago I was at a drag strip and got into an argument with a few guys. One of them was pale and skinny. I said he looked like the guy in the movie "Powder". One of the three said...."Well, you look like some Don Johnson lookalike".
Yeah, like THAT was an insult ? That dude got all sorts of chicks!

Shampoo it when you shower - that usually helps - doesn't eliminate it, but reduces it (just got through it again ;-))
Wow, just googled him. Seams like a dickhead
I remember a razor named after him. The Miami Device

Me either lol mine isn't full at all but I just learn to live with it. There are some products that help I use a derma roller and beard oil with growth vitamins it works but its slow results.
