Haven't shaved in about a decade. Does that answer your question? Beard gets trimmed when I feel like it, which isn't often. On the many days where I've looked less than stellar over the years, well, I don't really care how random people perceive me. Odds are I won't think too highly of them, no matter how much effort they put into surface appearance (there are many, many exceptions to this rule--I'm not a total misanthrope. I do lean misanthropic though).
Sometimes I get calls in my shop inquiring about shaves which we do not offer anymore for various reasons. I am surprised than some men are willing to pay for someone to.shave them. I tried once and I wasn't impressed with it.
Sure do, that's why i only shave like twice a week. It grows in fast, but not in the line of work where I've gotta be clean shaven every day. And it's like a 5 minute or under affair..a cut or too i could care less!!
I don't remember the last time I shaved. I am 56, retired and don't care. I let my beard grow out to about 2" and hit it with the hair clippers to hack it down to 1". It doesn't itch as I wash it with the same Head and Shoulders I use on my head. I am going grey - duh - and my beard is as well. If one worries about gray whiskers wait until you hair does the same. I might look scruffy to some but It gets mowed enough to stay a constant length. As I prefaced, I am 56, retired and don't really care. I did my time in the rat race and will enjoy growing old naturally.
Someone mentioned no deodorant. I learned a long time ago about a product called ROCK or any other derivative that consists of natural minerals and a fluid to serve as a vehicle. It rolls on and keeps you from stinking for a day. I've never used an antiperspirant due to the ingredients - what is wrong with sweat? I don't need the perfume in commercial deodorants.
Take a shower/brush your teeth daily and you should be good to go.
As far as 'manscaping'... that's not very manly. We may be naked apes but our hair is on us for a purpose.
I know a woman who wants to hold me down to pluck my ears/eyebrows every time she sees me. Maybe if I am dead. I like my werewolf ear tufts and Andy Rooney eyebrows. The gubmint can't take those from me.
One of the advantages of having a Mongol ancestry. I had no face fur for my entire working life. However, shortly after my 65th birthday I unexpectedly grew a beard.
I never actually shaved, although while in the Military and living on base I was required to shave 2 times daily. But I never put a blade in the razor.
I just shaved with my Norelco electric razor, I got a little irritation on a section of my neck but it is gone already. It is not the closest shave ever but it is good enough for me and it only took me a few minutes.
when my sons were old enough to start shaving, I said
welcome to hell.
