I care for my beard by cutting it clear off every morning.
Ha, that's me too.
I wore a beard for a year or so back in the '70s when I was a single 30-something, before it became fashionable. Now I don't want to look like every other geezer, besides, my wife doesn't like beards.
There was a time when a beard was considered the mark of a non-conformist; now it's the opposite.
To each his own.
