Beard gives me a chin, which is otherwise weak. (This is apparently a common problem in modern humans. Too much utensil use and not enough flesh tearing begets a reduced jaw.)
Even so, I take it off occasionally because, even when washed well, it will begin to literally irritate me.
It’s my own hair. It’s not supposed to do that. And yet…
Get you one of these rubber brushes, put a little oil on it or just scrub your beard in the shower with it. This helps get down to the skin and also grabs loose/dead hair which can be irritating.
I don’t think conditioner and oil is part of washing. Besides, I have never used oil on my head-, chest-, arm-, whatever-hair, and still the beard is the only one that randomly goes itchy sometimes.
That’s because afaik beard hair is structurally different from “regular” hair.
And depending on your skin and “head”-hair type your scalp can become itchy too. Which is why some people prefer to use oil instead of soap for their scalp.

NGL though that feeling of scritching through your beard from the neck going up is bliss
Or that feeling when someone brushes your beard for you
Ah I miss my beard sometimes
Personally I just go with a wide curly handle bar mustache as I need to get a good seal on a respirator now kicks pebbles
Define “washed well”. Most men I have encountered complaining about irritated or itchy under their beard don’t use oil or moisturizer.
