I have grown a beard at various times, but for many recent years have propagated just a large moustache, with a daily shave of the rest, as I'm not a fan of "designer stubble". In my reckoning, a worthwhile beard is one that reaches my top shirt collar button as a minimum. My wife died last August, and from that day I stopped shaving, but once past the itchy stage, the usual problem of beard scurf and the need to avoid becoming Edward Lear's "Old man with a Beard" required action.
In the past I have tried shampoos, bar soap and other things, but someone else sporting "a full set" recommended L'Oreal's Barbershop "beard, face and hair wash". This isn't cheap, but I bought some, and it does indeed perform as advertised; at least, for me.
I used to be a MWF enthusiast in my full shave days, but once it ran out, I went down the rabbit hole of trying different new makers; Nanny's, P&B, Signature and a couple of others, and now have supplies to see me out. However, this thread has roused an interest in beard maintenance using some of these soaps, on the "nothing ventured, nothing gained" principle.
