Second the Mammoth beard oil, works super well, bonus points for being a local guy. Have never had a problem with it causing breakouts (maybe this is based on the type of oil used?). I don't shampoo or conditioner mine, just water from the shower, then use the oil and Blue Beard lotion.
Other than shaving the neck/cheek line, I no longer trim my beard myself. I've screwed it up enough, and just leave that to the barber. When you find a good barber, stick with them! they'll learn how your hair grows, and will be able to trim it better over time.
You'll go through a hobo/itchy stage, I call it beard puberty, power through this and the barber will clean that up for you when you get it trimmed (Check out Chin Whiskey, they have some good barbers).
