I hear ya. I shaved just enough to keep from getting a real beard...usually once a week or so. Ugh. Don’t miss that scruffy feeling at all!

My poor wife, what she went through...:)

Yes, and if I get those coarse beard hair longer than say 3 days growth, some on neck begin to curl back into the skin, causing those awful blisters you aptly described.
