The general rule of thumb for any guy who is thinking of shaving his beard is to wait 24 hours before acting and then see how you feel. I think it's a wise idea; I shaved mine off on a couple of occasions and regretted it each time. The last time I grew it back I decided that I would never shave it off again.
I'd like to add, if after that first 24 hours you still have the urge, wait another 24... and another 24 etc until the urge has passed

I know I'm a bit late to the party but man, that is a sweet beard... keep it. I shaved off 3 months worth for a halloween costume and I'm kicking myself!

I shaved off 3 months worth for a halloween costume and I'm kicking myself!Thanks slyfive. Also thanks to the other guys for their advice about the beard. I think it was just some pressure from family to get rid of the beard that made me think about it, but not for long. I actually think the beard suits me and want to continue the journey to see if a bigger beard does too....I just needed to come back to the forum to strengthen my resolve. The beard is at least going to get to 5 months without a trim!
It's not coming off any time soon Beardman. I have shaved previous beards off and have instantly regretted it....the only shaving will be happening on my head and not my face....
So I am planning at least 5 months without trimming....how long have some of you other guys gone? I am tempted to keep going for a while...
Well maybe I could go to next March with mine and then see...
