I keep it shorter in the summer and I trim it down thin, then I just go for the full Sasquatch over the winter and let it grow for about 3 weeks before I even think about taking the trimmers to even things up.
I first grew my beard out maybe 5 years ago? And I've shaved it off only twice since then (and let it immediately grow back). I think I look like I'm about 13 years old without it. I keep it relatively short though, and I trim it once a week.

My girlfriend has never seen me without a beard (though she has seen pictures), and she says she doesn't want me to shave it off (which suits me just fine! )

When I get to be really old I want to grow a long Charles Darwin beard :

these are just a few of the reasons I choose to keep my beard around.

I find it more effective to wear a face mask and am sick of facial hair. One day I will grow something again but I doubt it will be a thick full beard.
That and I stink at keeping mine trimmed.
