I saw an image on Facebook yesterday that said "Men with beards are sexy", with the same man in three stages, beard (closer to stubble), moustache and shaved.

It's a thing. I've been told when I don't shave and have a bit of "designer stubble" that I'm more attractive and look older. I get an itchy face though, so it goes.

Let it grow a little longer, and the itchiness will subside. Establishing a neckline of your beard also helps - but don't cut it too high.

My problem is that it grows really patchy. I've got parts that is as smooth as a baby's bum, but others which is as rough as badgers arse - so I shave to hide my inability to grow a proper beard haha.

Shampoo and conditioner helps prevent itchiness, at any stage of growth. If it's really just stubble, soap & lotion will work.
