I like the cutback, actually. But, I have an idea that may help everyone in this situation.

Next time anyone gets the urge to cut their beard off, grab someone else with a beard and cut theirs off. Preferably, this should be someone much smaller and weaker than you. Someone you can hold down with one arm. Shave his beard and note the before and after difference. If that's the change you're looking for, then shave your own off.

Currently trying to break the trimming habit.
