Male facial hair

[Fromtherough]

Shaving is one of life’s chores, especially with the speed my facial hair grows, so I tend to do it very infrequently. At the minute I have a semi-maintained full beard, but even if I shave it’s only with beard trimmers to stubble. Then it grows back over 3-5 days. Can’t remember the last time I had a proper shave.

In saying that, as a teenager in the mid 90’s, being able to cultivate huge sideburns was great.

I'm not the hairiest if people, and having been knocked off my bike as a young lad and face diving into the gutter I have areas on one side of my face that never grow anything as a result. I therefore stay clean shaven nearly all year round, possibly bar 2 weeks at Xmas when I leave it for a laugh to see how bad I might look after that time.

I shave infrequently....its, as said above, a chore.
I'll leave it 3-4 weeks unti, it starts itching or I feel I'm in danger of finding new forms of life in it and then it comes off....rinse and repeat.

Clean shaven, though I dabbled with all sorts in the past but never lasted more than a few months.

I have always wanted to have a handlebar mustache, Jimmy Edwards style or maybe Windsor Davis maybe, but alas my upper lip is sparse compared to the rest.

I have a normal full beard but god knows what option that is in your poll.

Brian Blessed - completely normal.

I shave on maybe a Sunday night and once mid week and that is about it unless I am going out.

Ditto

Oh! In that case I've voted wrong! I have a full beard but I didn't know which one that was so voted for a trimmed box because that seemed to fit into the pattern.

I've had a beard is one kind of another for about 20 years - Movember aside. I'd like to say there's a fashion reason for this but it's mainly laziness and the fact that I get shaving rash if I shave.

I shave once a week (wet shave) as anymore than that and my skin gets irritated. Fortunately I don't take after my dad and so I don't grow to thick a beard in a week so it looks relatively tidy. My old man could shave and have a five o'clock shadow by the time he got downstairs. He was in hospital for several weeks once and came out looking like a castaway with a massive and scraggy beard

 

[Dando]

There are “ladies” who can grow better facial hair than me so I’ll shave once a week

 

[SaintHacker]

I’ve gone for clean shaven, although I now only shave every other day at best #retired. Once upon a time I had a porn ’tash, maybe for 25 years.

After that admission I think you should change your forum name to Dirk Diggler!

Only one with a Tash, ? not Tache.?

 

[Carlwm]

Had a small chin wig ever since I was able to grow one, in a forlorn attempt to disguise the fact that I don't have much of an actual chin.

 

[arnieboy]

In my yoof, long hair, beard and tache, now clean shaven although as I have recently retired I could go two or three days between shaves.

 

[Deleted member 29109]

I can’t remember the last time I was clean shaven. Life is too short for shaving every day or beard grooming.

I just shave with the clippers every few weeks when the beard starts to get itchy

 

[Smiffy]

I have a small patch of skin on my right cheek which does not grow any hair.

Fragger's whole head is a bit like that...
