-For those saying that their wife/gf doesn't like it, I had the same issue, but I let it grow out just for a month or two, and now when I wanted to trim it down she wants it to stay :P Maybe give it a chance, it might turn out that she likes it, but is just nervous about that weird period between when your clean shaven, and when your beard is the right size ;)
-For those complaining about itchiness, it usually goes away after the beard gets a little length... For the first week or two it might itch like crazy, but after that you're on your way to itch-less beard paradise :P
Honestly, most people who think facial hair looks bad on them haven't given it enough time. Beards are back in a big way, and it's worth giving the old beard/stache a chance!! (Fashion Advice via Andross)
