    It's beginning to become an annoyance and the damn acne has decided to be a pain again now I have hair on my face and is coming to attack lol. So I'm debating should I shave and look like a teen and such or keep the slowly growing beard and grow it out and hope it gets better? Think I may shave cause it itches at times and generally gets annoying but I like having it lol shows I'm a guy not a teen! But eh who knows lol so wonderful members of EC what should I do?

    Maybe just keep it trimmed? That could be a compromise between not wanting to look too young and also not liking the feeling of a full beard. I tend to think guys look nice and professional with good trimmed facial hair, even though I'm not attracted to guys so I can't be of too much help. I have given the same advice to relatives though.

    I also vote for keeping it trimmed. Full beards are kind of a pain to maintain, even though they are beautiful.

    I also suffer from acne so I use an electric trimmer with a guard that leaves generous clearance on my face. That might be a good idea.

    Get a trimmer set it on level two or three. Keep it trimmed nice and forgo the razor burn. Advice from an old guy. :slight_smile:
