It will itch
It is going to happen, no matter what, unfortunately. While you grow and nurture your facial hair, there will be an itching phase. Fortunately, there are absolutely great products available like beard oils and balms that go a long way toward reducing and even eliminating beard itch.
Longer morning routine
If you want to prevent those insane itch phases, you'll need to give your beard the nutrients it needs to thrive and grow. Like when you were shaving every morning, you will now need to take a few minutes to shampoo, comb and use beard oil or balm on your mane. As it does wonders, it is a necessity toward our beard quest.
People will ask you for help
Even in the developmental stage, a proper mane screams wisdom. Therefore, people will assume that you are well-versed in the ways of the world, and ask you for help. Hopefully, they'll be right, and you'll be able to guide them toward a proper wood chopping technic or about how properly cook a steak.
Your personal space will get smaller
This is not something that you can control. People are just drawn to beards. Beards tell a tale of an individual who prides himself on being independent and adventurous. When your beard starts looking full, people will get closer and wait for you to tell your story. They might even ask to touch your mane, just go with it.
Your beard becomes you
Don't be surprised if people don't call you by your name anymore, or if people stop asking you to show ID as proof of age to buy beers.
You can't bite down food the same
While growing a beard, chowing down on a plate of BBQ can have sticky consequences. No need for fear, though, just be a little more aware where you're putting the food while you chow down.
Your days will be more Awesome
It's simply a natural side effect of being bearded, there's nothing you can do. You'll be more confident in your daily life because of your epic beard. Now that you know how much patience and dedication it took to get an epic mane, you also know that you can apply that same dedication to anything that you want to achieve in life.
