I grow my beard out every month but then usually shave it. I have a skin condition that causes my beard to itch severely if the hair length gets too long. Fortunately for me it grows super fast so I get it back quick. Its doing pretty good right now actually:

I love my red-beard... I am still searching for a natural skin remedy for this "dermatitis". The only thing that has worked so far is ketoconazole, but I don't like using things I don't fully understand, also its a pharma.

AND YES ALL WOMEN TAKE OFF YOUR BRAS!!! Shirts too while your at it, guys do it so I don't see why girls can't. Who doesn't want to live in a world where titties are always out and free? Really?
