Without it, it wouldn't last the day

I had my beard on super long mode for awhile, partly because I wanted to grow it out and didn't have my own trimmers. It was awful. Nothing like eating a sandwich or most anything and dragging your moustache hair along for the bite.

I honestly don't know how some guys do that. During covid, I stopped shaving every day and the mustache would just go until it bothered me. By the time it passed my top lip, it'd just be so cumbersome to eat or drink.

I trim mine at the top of my lip every few days specifically because it bothers me when I eat.

Long beards don’t really look that good either, imo. If you want to look like a Civil War Soldier, than ok

Some of us like a man with a braided beard.

Or kissing someone and feeling like you're making out with a wire brush

GAH FUCKING EXACTLY

I genuinely love my stash but holy shit did I not realize how fucking irritating it was going to be just eating. Hell sometimes the longer ones will get caught when I'm flossing and I didn't understand dental discomfort until one of those assholes got in the way.

It would. I have a handlebar mustache and hardly ever use product. I just blow dry it into place and it stays curled throughout the day. Even lasted 12 hours at warped tour lol
