Interesting post Maverick.

Since my major trim where I took quite a bit off my sides I've been using less oil and balm and haven't noticed a difference in my hairs. I didn't set out to use less but I previously used balm to keep the sides tidy and didn't need to after the trim.

Are you back full bearded now buddy? Last I knew you had gone to a solo mustache.
