Grew one while backpacking and not bothering to shave while in my late 20s and not looked back. Previous attempts would see me shave once it began itching, but I found after a few days that passed. Clean shaven people would regularly add a decade to my age, now they often take a decade off (although my only grey hairs are in my beard, but they’re isolated rather than patches).
I’m not sure it’s any less of a hassle though - keeping it neat, dealing with skin flakes/beard dandruff etc are all annoying in their own way. But still, I think it suits me.
