I usually only have itchyness with a new beard like 1-3 weeks old then after it gets long enough the hairs become smooth and dont cause any itchyness. It probably also has to do with genetics but i would say keep growing it longer and shampoo it once or twice a week and it should grow past the itchyness stage.

Just the neck gets itchy for me. That's why i keep that neckbeard clean shaven..It's been a few days now since I've shaved my neck tho. I took some kratom tonight so I'm scratching away at this thing like I got fleas.

I think the itchiness comes from skin flaking off underneath the hair and being trapped up against the skin, and when the head or face moves it shifts slightly against the skin causing an itch. Or, the skin isn't fully detached yet and is causing the itch, like an itchy scab while it's healing. The human body sheds all its skin every 21 days or something like that. Since the skin doesn't stop reproducing its cells, the itchiness never goes away completely. Best thing to do is exfoliate with a comb rubbing perpendicular to the direction the hair grows with the bristles on the comb, sort of like intensely itching the skin under the hair without pulling the hairs out if that makes sense. You'll see dandruff flaking off and falling out and it'll itch a lot when it happens. Then just comb out the skin flakes. It sounds gross but someone had to say it.
That's all my theory anyway it could be wrong but my moustache itches like a son of a bitch and exfoliation helps a lot.

I dont shave my neck or cheeks i just give everything a trim with scissors but im not even sure what a neck beard really is. I just comb the beard growing from under my jaw opposite direction as the rest so that it stays pointed and good shape.

Dude go wash it with shampoo and conditioner. Try and massage the skin under the beard with shampoo without pulling out hairs. Let the conditioner sit for like 5 minutes and rinse with as cold of water as you can stand. Make sure you get allllllllllllllllllll the conditioner out or it'll give you flakes which also itch.
Should get rid of it almost completely. When my shit gets that itchy, a wash always clears it up.

I actually just got out of the shower and did that. I condition my beard around once a week. I feel a lot better. I'm just all itchy because Kratom gives me really strong opiate style itching. It's usually all good tho. Thanks again for all the facial hair advice man. I gotta get some sleep but I'll hit you up with +5 's. Peace.
