I've had mine since May 2009. I have zero desire to shave my face ever again.

I've had a beard for a long time, I can't remember the last time I've been clean shaven. But I always kept the beard relatively short.

I have a trim roughly 1-2 times a year. It was 2-3 times a year, can't remember if I've really done 4 times in a year.

If I can remember, the trimmer is set on 4 or 5 when I trim, so that's typically the shortest I go.

I'm hoboish at the moment. solid 3-5 inches of scraggy growth.

I tried, but can'y break through.  I've made it 7-10 days without shaving and it drives me nuts.  I would like to try a beard someday, but I just think it's not in the cards for me.  I love the feeling of a fresh shave too much.

Once you're past the itchy growing out phase, it's no issue at all.

I already had a beard but I keep it short. But I did let it grow for two months without a trim. My wife hated it. She did not like seeing me grabbing and pulling on it.

I'm constantly pulling on mine, it's a nice pacifier when I'm stressed.

My wife likes my beard, she does hate when I pluck out straggly hairs.

I was just thinking about this today.  I am 50 years old, have tried to grow a beard a time or two.  I can never get past 5-10 days.  I think I just like the feel of a freshly shared face too much.  To me, shaving is equivalent to showering - it's cleansing.  I wished I could grow a full beard just to see what it's like, but I can't.  A freshly shaved face is one of the great pleasures of life.  

I’ve trimmed mine back considerably from its longest point. I might grow it back in 5-10 years when I go completely gray. 

Last time I shaved was the morning of my retirement ceremony March 3, 2017.

NO I didn't.

End of rant.
