Emachine9643: So I started growing a beard a little over a month ago and wanted to know if you guys have any tips? On maintaining, styling and products you use for your beard.
I've got one good solid tip for sure! If you decide at some point that you want to get a professional trim done, stay the hell away from the barbershop on the east side of Novigrad!

No offense but it looks like your wife is the one that needs to shave.

OH WAIT, that pic is of you. DUH!
I grew a beard for 2 years. It was interesting. My current beard is about half an inch long now, and I may be removing that fairly soon.

As for washing it. Hot water and soap/shampoo. Until it gets long enough not much to do. I recommend keeping your upper mustache area trimmed, otherwise when it gets long enough you'll keep finding your hair in your mouth at all times. Beards will also get notoriously dirty, in the last months I had mine long I would have egg yolk and bread crumbs in it constantly and having to wash it out 2-3 times a day. Best to keep it at a manageable level, say an inch or two long.

Beyond that, not sure.

My wife for years doesn't like sex. I'd happily shave and do more around the house if I got sex. But seeing as I'm not... *shrugs* I'd be a completely different person if my needs were being met.
Grew a beard (and hair) for about 5 years, with just the minimum essential maintenance to keep everything clean and tidy. Otherwise I just let everything grow wild.

If you are the type (meaning both the looks and personality) that can pull it off, it does look very impressive. But man is it uncomfortable... and you don't notice it until the day you get rid of all the excess hair. Fast forward 10 years, and now I'm the guy that shows up to death metal fests with a fresh close shave.

In that case you should probably go with a few days' stubble and tousled hair, for that "just rolled out of the tomb" look.

One morning on Easter I did come down to the kitchen, bent over and reaching for my back, and yelled, "Fuckin' hell, I never thought I'd get off that cross!"
If i sneeze i grow a beard.. it sucks, i look old has hell.... granted i am still a young man but with a beard i look like an axeman deep in canada that eats bears for dinner... so i use a 0 blade trimmer to keep it trimmed and a Spiced Sandalwood Beard Oil to keep the ends soft.... sandlewood has a manly smell that isnt to old man to be nasty....

I wish I could grow a full beard. For the first two weeks or so it looks okay, but any longer than that it just starts looking all kinds of bad. Stupid straight hair.
I don't really like having facial hair, but at the same time, shaving it off always irritates my skin. I go through vague periods of looking either normal or like there's a perpetual shadow on my face.

Start working on it now and in like 40 years you could look like this guy.

[url= Not that that's 40 years of growth. But you're like seven and that guy's gotta be over 50. ][/url]

With my hair? More like this guy.

But this is Abraham Lincoln we're talking about here. Nobody distrusts Honest Abe. He killed vampires.
