Are beards warm or super itchy? (Off-Topic)

Itchy for the first week, and not much thereafter.

Since my wife does not allow me to have a beard, a week is usually as long as I can go without shaving, and that's only when I'm in the woods or out of the country. It's itchy and at first feels like rough sandpaper, then like a really stiff bristle brush. I've actually brushed her cheek with mine and taken skin off. I've never let it grow out enough to see if it softens up.
