This.
I like having just a stubble so i always shave using electric razor once a week or so, it actually looks better than fully shaved with a razor blade. But i don't let it grow out too much.
By the way, do some of you have an idea till what age your beard actually grows? I heard it will usually not be fully grown until your late 20s? Mine actually hasn't change in like 4 years, so since i was about 18. Any chances of it growing thicker in the next few years? Or i'll just never be able to be a fully accomplished badass?
