Been sporting a beard for 40 years. I shaved it off one hot day last summer. I decided right then and there never to shave again. I'll be planted with it.

Year round, #4 on the hair trimmer. I shave under my chin daily to it doesn't look scruffy.
It's about like this:

"Hell no!"

Start it on September 1st, keep it cleaned up with a number 4 and neck cleaned, shave all but the goatee April 1st. And you notice how much it kept yer face warm that first week it's shaved off!

Full beard for 42 years. Would not know how to deal with not having one.

Used to usually grow a beard just over the winter but since retiring I keep a full beard year around. Every once in a great while I buzz a little bit off just to even the length up and get rid of split ends.
Personally I really can't tell much of a difference as far as comfort in having a beard in hot weather vs cold.
For me shaving daily in both hot and cold weather is far worse with sweat or cold winds stinging a freshly shaved face.

Oh, wait, you meant on the face, right?
Had a beard once or twice in my youth but clean shaven except for a mustache these last 40 years. These days I only shave every other day and not at all on weekends to enhance the grubby homeless old man look...

Beard for the last 40 years, usually short but one time a nurse mentioned (good naturedly) that it was getting a bit long. Response: Winter coat - she just walked away shaking her head.

The mid chest beard above made me think, I talked to an Amish man at Burger King in Wadnea, Mn, I told him he had a better beard than I did.
He said thirty years for his.

Goatee year round cause my chin looks like my buttcrack, ones enough. LOL, when I shaved my chin it looked like two chapped red butt cheeks.  Better to grow whiskers and not have to shave that butthead crack.

I grow a beard every winter and shave it in the spring. Actually I had to grow two beards this winter, had to shave it off when visiting a refinery in December.
It definitely keeps your face warm in the winter. And even though it's officially spring, I'm holding onto my beard for another month as it looks and feels a lot more like winter than spring here.

Can't use SCBA... no beard. That was my issue for many years. Now I prefer just a mini-Paul Tuttlish 'stache.

I remember a guy who used to smear his beard with Vaseline to pass SCBA fit tests. I still don't know how they allowed him to keep his beard, but he did.
That's why I had to shave my beard this past December.

I start a beard every fall as the weather cools. I particularly like it while ice fishing. Comes off late April early May depending on the weather. Can't do summer, just to damn hot for me.

I grow one for deer hunting then shave right before Christmas. Thirty years I couldn't grow one because of work and now its all gray. Same here. The girls at work pray that I tag out the first weekend. They can't stand me with a beard. The 'stash stays year round though. I shave it off every once in a while when it gets ratty looking, but grow it right back. My wife really gets upset when I'm "clean". She hates kissing me without the stash.

Have had a beard for over 35 years.
I like it and do not care what anyone else thinks.
I keep it neatly trimmed and shave where needed every day.

Liked it and left it. Wife likes it so no issues there.

Have a beard, or clean shaven? \ When I was in high school, I grew my first beard, one summer. One of my Dad's friends came over one night. He took one look at me and said, "Jesus Larry, he's cultivating on his face what I'm growing wild on my ass". How they howled.

Closely/neatly trimmed goatee for me. A beard makes me look 60 and clean cut makes me look 18.
