Ah yes, but when you are walking down the street with your Beard loving Women arm in arm, a 10YO boy may shout " Beardoe "!
To which your Ladies and members of the public may think he shouted " Paedo " leaving you with irreparable damage....... exactly, you must think outside the box, get it off.
No,they are shouting"BEARD-HO", in the manner of sailors shouting "LAND-HO",as a particularly magnificent specimen of face foliage hoves into view,and they are alerting all around to your awesomeness!To which your Ladies and members of the public may think he shouted " Paedo " leaving you with irreparable damage....... exactly, you must think outside the box, get it off.
Keep up the the good work bro.

Bear in mind I'm no expert though, still figuring it out myself!Let it grow and find a decent barber to sort it out. Mine's pretty long now and I've got a lovely handlebar 'tache that doesn't need any wax to style these days, it just curls on its own. Or because I keep twiddling it.
I get the barber to trim it up every week or 2 depending on how I'm feeling/it looks. Takes 5-10 mins at most. Where about are you? My barber is in Twickenham and is very good.
Other than that just take car of it - shampoo/condition regularly, a bit of oil to stop it looking straggly and a quick blow dry to straighten it out.
As Mr Will said, I get plenty of compliments and people wanting to talk too. Plus lots of girl seem to love it. Which is nice.Bath.
I'm really at the beginning of the journey. Thanks for the advice. Really do need to trust the barber. I could see someone really messing up months/years of "hard work" not shaving.

I'm thinking that's a good call. 
I've clippered mine to get it all the same length. Now I'm letting it grow. I did wonder how you maintained it once it's out grown the clippers. Do you comb and scissors it yourself?
I don't like shaving, so I'm currently enjoying the once a week trim n edge.
I do feel the need to cultivate a handlebar to see if I like it, and the full beard is a way of doing it incognito. Without having to guess the best place to shave upto.
Since taking a break from fast cars to raise kinder, I'm enjoying this new, ultimate slow paced hobby.
Comp first, then clippers with a ~no.4 guard on the sides to blend with my sideburns. The front I just gently trim freehand with a short guard on the clippers, then no guard at all to tidy the moustache. Finally a razor to clean up neck and cheeks and it's good to go. If I tried using scissors looking in the mirror I think I'd end up stabbing myself in the eye!I've clippered mine to get it all the same length. Now I'm letting it grow.

As a slight adjunct to the topic, presumably pubic lice can be transferred to the full Blessed?
You see that's a big turn off, having to get the nit comb and run it around your face to prove to the missus you're clean before partaking of a certain pleasure. Hey ho, i'm surprised you can't get a sticker or certificate or something 'this beard is certified 100% nit and crabs free'.

This,In fact I have started shaving more recently as I am sick of people presuming I am trying to look "cool". I know i'm not cool, i'm just lazy!
Beards also used to be fairly popular in the metal scene, particularly amongst those whose jobs wouldn't let them have long hair, so if I saw someone like said I'd wonder if they're into their metal but now it's 100-1 they're a conforming non-conformist trendy hipster

In reply to the OP's original post - what you do, is find the biggest, most badass looking biker you can with a beard - and yank it downwards. This signifies trust and will not get you harmed in any possible way.
