I grow a beard for a few months, every year. When I've had enough, out come the scissors, and then the cheapo single blade. Rinse after every stroke. When done, use a fresh razor and do it over.

I started growing out a mustache about a year and a half ago. The jury is still out on whether I can pull it off.
Since I work for myself, I tend to go for 3-4 days between shaves, which is a big change from working in banking, where a close shave was a professional necessity (including sometimes shaving AGAIN in the afternoon if I had a late meeting - as stupid as that sounds, it's true)
I go as long as I can, after the first 2 days, it stops itching for a day, but somewhere between day 4 and 6, it gets long enough to start curling, and I have to remove the beard all over again.

A true beard never dies it only changes vessels. Everytime you shave your beard a teenage boy starts puberty. So take solace in knowing that you are helping someone else by doing this (its the only way to justify such an act).
But in all seriousness just get a cheapo trimmer, it is much simpler than hacking away the bulk of it with scissors. I have to get rid of mine everytime I get a hair cut (about once a year) my beard is currently on its way back from last month.

Out of curiosity, why would you have to shave your beard to work in a mine?

That's kinda it. The site I'm at has some people wearing respirators. So the client has a rule that everybody has to be ready for for respirators. Nevermind that you actually need a fit test to wear one. I think it's driven by whiny people complaining that others have facial hair. Complete bs.

My expensive beard trimmer crapped out on me a few months back, and when I went to replace it I stumbled onto this cheap (20 bucks) Gillette Fusion Proglide Trimmer/edge/razor.
Honestly it's the best thing I've ever used. The trimmer is really good for such a small thing. And I love the powered wet razor.
It's got a lot of power for something that runs on a single double a.
To de-beard yourself, if you don't wanna spend a lot, drop a 20 and get that. And use it as an electric wet razor if you don't need the trimmer after that.
