    1. It made me look 10 years younger and I’d prefer to look my age

    2. Shaving is annoying. Occasional razor burn and cuts aside, it’s an “all or nothing” style. If you miss a spot, it sticks out against the smooth skin

    3. Having to do it daily sucks especially for people like me who get 10am shadows. Post-shave stubble looks bad. Post-#1 trimmer stubble looks the same

    4. It’s relaxing to scratch a beard and it doesn’t feel good to scratch a freshly-shaven face.

    I trim my beard once a week and I can do it half asleep. it stays relatively nice and if I miss a spot, it mostly blends in. Sometimes during the week I will trim the couple of hairs that grow a little higher on my cheeks but even if I don’t, it doesn’t look too bad.
