Yes, a full set, beard and moustache.

Usually I only have a goatee, but have grown the lot to play Archchancellor Ridcully at the MCMExpo in November. The whole lot is washed daily, twice daily if I am going out in the evening.

Guilty - the full set: and no messing about with namby-pamby shaping and sculpting for me. Every few weeks it gets a brief run over with the Flymo, with a touch of Baby-Bio now and then, and otherwise it is left to its own devices.

I couldn't be without it - I wouldn't know what to do with my hands all day.

Likewise.  Have only been without it 3 or 4 times since I was 22.  The first time it disappeared was when I appeared as an extra in David Lean's 'A Passage to India' (no beards in Edwardian-era India).
