Precisely why I wear one - it's my natural state. I've finally broken down and just get a beard trim at the barber, it makes for a nice experience, I look far better than taking matters into my own hands, and I don't have to deal with this stuff (the mess, time spent in the bathroom, etc.)

Every time I let a barber trim my beard I was very happy with the result, and I got the same impression that I would not be able to replicate that on my own anyway, so maybe that's just the answer.

Overall, I still feel that a beard is much less hassle. Unlike a clean shave, I have to go a pretty long time without a trim for my beard to really become "unsightly".

This. I guess I can understand some people prefer how they look shaven, but I can't understand spending so much time and money to avoid looking how you really look.

I use an electric shaver, and it takes less than a minute per day. My last shaver lasted 12 years, the amortized cost is negligible...

I'm curious how much time/cost were you considering.
