Haha no I like my beard and my wife really likes it. I don't think I will ever not have a beard.

best get used to a pillow mask, or switch to the oracle 'scuba' 'mask'.

Take a look at my post on using the Oracle mask. The link is in my signature block.
It may help even with a full beard.

I had a beard for a little over 32 years when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I shaved it off and have not regretted it. It felt strange for about two weeks, but I do not have trouble getting my mask to seal. Last night my 95% leak rate was 0.0 and my max was 9.6 liter. I would much rather have good sleep instead of the facial hair.
