I've finally reached the age where I can grow proper facial hair.

Only, as soon as it begins to appear, it itches the fck out of my face. I'm constantly aware it's there. The relief only ever comes when I'm in the shower or drunk and can't feel it. Normally though it ranges between irritating and painful.

Apart from MingTFU, is there anything you can buy or do it to alleviate the agony?

Help me, beardmen. You're my only hope.

PS. I'm not growing a fluffy vagrant beard like Joaquin Phoenix, and I do realise what a big girl's blouse complaining about a sore beard makes me.

Thanks
