Thanks for that triggs:-( I've got to stick it out for a month, then I'll treat myself to a proper shave at the Turkish barbers...hot towels & all that.
I've gone the other way, I was clean shaven on Monday for the first time in a year for the start of Movember, I miss my stubble/beard!
I've never had any trouble with itchiness really. Still got to decide what style muzzy to have!
