I need to trim my beard and shave my head. I don't like getting hair in my mouth, ears, or nose.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

I just did the semi-monthly trim and feel much better. Do it!

It's not about that so much as the temperature. I work outside a lot, so I let it grow out during the winter. Right now it is the only thing holding a blizzard back from our city. If I trim it we'll be buried in two feet of snow and then I will have to go out in that bare cheeked. So I keep it long until the spring.
