Once a day seems like overkill. As stated though, shaving is a rare mistake for me. I’m basically a wolfman in the facial hair department, but can’t imagine needing to shave every day. I’d be penniless from the expenditure on razors and foam 😀
BST - every 2 or 3 days
GMT - never (OK - an occasional tidy-up)
2/3x per week, postponed during relatively severe cold snaps down south.
I shave both ways 😂
to last longer between ...
shaves
Face - every other day.
Balls - about once a month
Legs - never
Once, maybe twice a week.
Ive set the bar pretty low with my appearance in general so very little is expected of me. One of my better strategies for reducing pointless bullshit in my life tbh.
Nah.
Big full beard me.
With my shift pattern only When I'm in work on days Monday to Friday as that's when the jobs worths are in
So about 5 days a month shift work has it uses
Week off every 4 weeks helps to
Barber trims it once a quarterish... haven’t (electric) shaved for 3 ish years. Never wet shaved.

a happy coincidence for me, I simply can’t be arsed to shave.
The beard came not because of the hipsters. I look young for my age , so it adds a few years. The cost of razors also, The faff and time. Then it was the rashes and sensitivity from wet shaving every other day, my neck would burn.
My beard is an entirely vanity based decision, I look better with one than without according to Mrs Lunge. And that’s good enough for me.
Legs started getting shaved as I find it reduces chaffing when running. The fact that toned, tanned legs look better when shaved (again, according to Mrs Lunge) is a very nice bonus too. It does attract the odd comment when you walk into a football changing room or on our annual “sod this, it’s too hot, we’re wearibg shorts” week at work.
only for court apearances
Once, maybe twice a week.

This. See also Ironing. Self ironing shirts and careful drying strategy is close enough. I’ve also slowly changed my office culture to be accepting of jeans. It only took a formal reprimand before they accepted that it was jeans or they could fire me. Half the office now wears smart jeans.
Last wet shave was about ten years ago. When I did shave it was on a Monday morning only. Now my beard gets trimmed when I have to think about drying it post-shower.
Bloody hipsters have ruined things for long term beardy men. I like to think they all copied me 😀
Have to admit, "Work From Home" days I just can't be bothered now (though I can be bothered to go on a bike ride 😀 ).
Office days I'll make the effort, though it's for no one else's benefit. Just habit.
Havent wet shaved for about 15 years now, no guard on clipper buzz about once a fortnight
Cost of razors - £10pm = 120pa + same on foam and accessories = £240pa x 15 years = £3600 to do something to myself i never enjoyed and used to make my neck burn
Clippers were £70, still got them although have purchased new blades once at about £15 = £85
Said clippers also used for hair saving me £15(?) x 12 cuts pa = £150pa x 15years = £2250 saving
Clippers also used for cutting two dogs (I know, I know), one 14 years old the other 7 - saved myself a fortune getting them done 'professionally", estimated saving £3000 (21 years of dog clipping)
I reckon buying a pair of clippers and not wet shaving has saved me approx £8 - 10,000 over 15 years and months worth of hours standing in front of a mirror........whats not to like!
Brilliant SIB. Never thought of it like that.
I've not shaved since I left school 18yrs ago, and in those days weekly with an electric razor was fine. Now trim once a month ish with clippers, due another trim some time soon as it's getting pretty bushy again. I have never had a wet shave in my life.
Someone on the first page mentioned riding in the winter clean shaven - I can feel the difference between bushy and trimmed, no beard must be horrendous on really cold days. How do girls manage?
Every second day if I'm in the office, once week if not.
I last shaved in July 2007, but I look ridiculous clean shaven.
Proper shave once or twice a year. Stubble trim once or twice a week
Daily when working, rarely when not£10 a month on razers plus the same on "accessories"? I doubt I spend 1/10th of that! Same handle and brush for 30 years, cartridge blades £1 each and each one lasts a couple of weeks, tube of shave gel a few quid every few months
I stopped shaving everyday around the same time I stopped wearing a tie to work and switched to chinos rather than 'work' trousers.
I shave once a week now, even then mostly it's with a hair trimmer without the guard, so still looks stubbly. Occasionally I'll wet shave. If I could push through the itchy phase I'd just grow a beard.
I seem to be unusual in shaving daily (wet shave, face only). I'd rather shave less often, but I find it more of a PITA to shave longer stubble or a beard in terms of shaving rash and general discomfort.
I ineffectually wave my electric razor at my face every morning, which means I look like I didn't shave today, forever. Best of both worlds.
Never, shaving is expensive<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">I also i'm trying to run Gillette out of business, it's a lifelong calling.</span>
When my ears start aching, or it gets too itchy, or for a smart do. Had long sideburns for 25 years though, so these don't match long stubble as much.
