I don't and I'm glad to see the back of it. Not had a wet shave for years, I just clipper my stubble every few days. Actually, I had to the other week when I forgot my clippers working away. My face felt horrible after.

My head is just as easy too ๐Ÿ™‚

Wet shave once or twice a week in the shower. That's all.

Currently sporting a 5 day protobeard.

Haven't had a wet shave in years. Trim with clippers once a week to ten days. Have better things to do with my time... like having an extra 5 mins in bed in the mornings!

Full beard for nigh on two years. Hairy and proud.

I love a good wet shave. Let it grow for a few days then shave the lot off. There's a Turkish barbers in the town who does the full on cut throat jobby. Not cheap but feels really nice afterwards.

And my ten year old daughter doesn't shave.

5 days growth ain't anything near a beard, you need at least 3 weeks before it qualifies. Anything else is jst bum fluff. And Im like Desperate Dan, i get a 5 o'clock shadow at 9 in the morning.

Last full shave was for my wedding 2 years ago. Now it's a number 4 with the clippers & a tidy up if I need to look smart for work.

I use clippers set at 5mm every few days... I count it as shaving.

I use to shave every day (work), but now I just shave when I need/want to, I just love the 2 day stubble feel & look ๐Ÿ™‚

So now it tends to be about twice a week. I did try and grow a beard, but after about 3 or 4 weeks it was just driving me crazy, so it came off !

Clean shaven twice in the past 8 years. Beard trimmer is the way forward.

I trim my chest, pits and bits, obviously not a full shave. My Mrs just likes some stubble on my face - makes up for a lack of hair on my head

Funnily enough my mates accused me of looking like him when we were at SITS.

Admittedly I had the cap, but only a whisper of a beard compared to that bad boy.

I really like being clean shaven. If I have time in the morning I'll really take my time and get my face baby smooth.

Beards? Well, there's something wrong with those guys. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT UNDER THERE!!?

Makes it easier to apply the foundation and blusher?

Thing is lots of men with beards try to make out that they don't care, that they're above the whole "fashion" thing and their such rebels, thing is my loves your just as bad as any-one else, it's a look, it's a statement, it's fashion.

trying too hard. Plus you look like you've spent the night behind the bins at Tesco ๐Ÿ˜†

I shave on a Sunday before work on the Monday, or if I have the Monday off I shave then.

Then again on Wednesday and that does me for the week.

Might have to shave on the weekend if the missus complains about scratchy face, or if I'm going out and need to look smart.

Wet shave every time

Is the 'dad beard' sill common? How many of you have grown a beard for the first time shortly after becoming a dad?

OMG - this is soooo my look right now. I even use product in my hair to give me bed head.

I go from well coiffured to tramp in 30 mins.

Beards/facial hair takes years off! I shave 6 times a week, my facial hair goes a nice shade of Ginger and Grey so I like to hack it off.

Say it loud, I'm ginger bearded and proud!
Haven't wet shaved for, um, 9 years I think. The length, style and appearance of the beard changes with my moods, and now winter is getting close I will be letting the full winter plumage develop through 'til March time.
This was early last Winter-

Surprised to see how many other lazy shavers there are - once or twice a week for me too (though I'm going to have to try the clippers next time I "need" a shave - shaved yesterday, so that's a few days away).

trying too hard.

Exactly the opposite in fact!

I haven't had a wet shave for about 6 years now, I have one of those fancy adjustable beard trimmers so have a tidy up every few days.

You're surprised that the folk slacking off work at 9:30am are too lazy to shave regularly?

I think the sample may be self-selecting ๐Ÿ˜€

Damn right! I take great care with my scruffy old rebel image; clippers a couple of times a week, tidy up the margins with a razor. Probably takes more time than wet shaving, but who cares?

I developing my winter coat, hair not cut since august - check, only a weeks growth on the beard though, as I shaved it off after having (proper) flu, should be suitably bushy by Christmas...

+1
Beard trimmer when it starts getting abit too messy, definitley leave it longer during winter tho. Did have 1st wet shave in ages a few weeks ago, over-rated.

gonna have to grow a beard at somepoint, just coz it's a bloke thing I guess, wouldn't fancy being a full time beardy tho (and my mrs would complain).

Twice a week with a trimmer. Or proper shave for the occasional important meeting.

Also. How do beardy blokes get on with swimming, or lack thereof.

I mean, obviously you can't go swimming because you'll get arrested.

No, but I would if she asked nicely.

Anyway, beards are for chinless wonders. Us chaps with a good strong jawline don't need to hide behind a mask. Shave everyday, me.

I manage about once a week at the moment. Should shave more often, but can't be bothered.

I usually leave it until it gets to that itchy, scratchy neck stage...
