I disagree. Both matter.

I can grow a decent amount of facial hair. Unforturnately, it’s just curly enough to look scraggly, but not curly enough to pack in nicely on itself. But it’s red hair in contrast to my normal dark brown hair, and I don’t want to waste it.
You might be running out of ink, drink more blood of the witch
Ah yes, an ironbeard.
If I let my beard get long enough, the neckbeard cowlicks collide and make random waves and spikes stick out.
Ugh, I have a spot on my chin that the hair grows in a spiral, so I always have a cowlick.
Do you happen to own a spaceship named the Bebop?
Legit considering getting my beard lasered off because I have such awful genes for beard hair.
The moustache is fine though, I get to roleplay as flanders to make my GF laugh because she’s the more outgoing one :3
Also, not sure who needs to hear it, but beard oil significantly shortens the awkward phase (and you should be using it anyway if you’ve got anything more than light stubble)
What does it do? i.e. what problem do you have if you have more than a light stubble and don’t use beard oil?
Mostly Itch and lack of control.
The longer your beard hair, the more it needs something to keep it from looking scruffy.
Also the itch is just annoying and the oil basically stops it entirely
Thanks. I’d categorise mine as a heavy stubble, but it doesn’t itch at all luckily. Possibly people would argue that it looks scruffy, I don’t know :P
You don’t get the itch with heavy stubble, you get it when you try to grow it out to a full beard.
Yeah, when the hairs get long enough to start curling and the ends poke the skin
I’m not sure what OP would say, but beard oils/balms keep the facial hair conditioned, which gently softens the hair, as well as it acts like a moisturizer for your facial skin which significantly reduces how dry and itchy it gets.
In my experience, I don’t know if it helps it grow in fuller, but it certainly makes wearing a beard more comfortable and easier to manage.
Don’t fret beardless man. Its evolution. Who needs a crumb catcher?
Wow look at this fat cat over here who can afford to lose crumbs
