I have a full beard. I keep it neat, around an in inch of growth depending on the season. Just a neck shave. Helps hide my nerdy face. I work in health care and a big beard would get in the way.
Right now, I'm scruffy.
I wore masks as a nurse for years, and that's why I had a chin beard: the dang ingrown hairs!I'm back to growing out the goatee. Freshly shaved chin + masks at work again don't mix well for me. My chin irritation was why I wore a beard for the last 7 years in the first place.

Well, I got sick of the goatee this weekend so off it went. My post-shave is a little different than before, and my technique is overall better, so I haven't had any issues for the last 3 days, at least.I wore masks as a nurse for years, and that's why I had a chin beard: the dang ingrown hairs!
I admire your commitment. Once daily mask wearing became a thing, my mustache migrated from Tsar Nicholas to Stalin. As of today it's more Mark Twain. It seems happier that way, anyways.Here's a picture that isn't worth 10 words! A little sloppy from mask-wearing.
