I didn't play for most of the 18 years I kept a full beard. When I started playing regularly a little over a year ago, the moustache had to go because I couldn't get any kind of seal around the mouthpiece. I have extremely thick, coarse, and hard beard hair and a fairly inflexible lip, so my choice was to lose the lip hair or not be able to hit low notes at all. I kept the jawline part of the beard, but that's all. I've seen many people play with full facial hair, but it just doesn't work for me.
