The opposite: I cut it off. Masks don't fit well with facial hair.

I wear a respirator at work so I always have to shave. That leads me to not shave on the weekends or vacation. However, I'm working from home so it isn't really a vacation, Therefore, I still shave as it keeps me in work mode.

Yeah, pretty much.

Could use a real haircut too. My wife trimmed me up a bit, did a pretty good job for not knowing what she was doing.

Working from home I've tried to keep my morning habit of shower, shave and getting dressed early just so I didn't fall into a rut that will be hard to break when things get back to normal.

Funny you should ask... Yeah, been growing a fuzz for the last couple of weeks (wife made me do it). In my 1970s "hippy days", I had the usual long hair and beard and I kind of looked like JC but right now I just look like a scruffy old dude.

Shaving is something I only do for vacations and relations. I'm not one for going all full blown beard but I do like to keep what I have neatly trimmed and my neck free of stubble. My flabby face needs the reinforcement just like the hillside needs grass to keep it from sliding into my house.

That being said, my beard is weird. It's significantly lacking in color; it's all salt and pepper whereas my mop is still (mostly) brown.

A big, fat negative. Being very blonde, that should be having-been blonde.I only have to shave every 2-3 days anyway. The temples are whitening and the facial hair has turned white white so, my wife believes, I shave regularly so I don't look old. Hmmmmmm. Not so. I shave because I start to look scruffy.

I have a short beard with mustache and I shave the exposed parts of my face every so often now that I'm not going anywhere for a while.

I went in the opposite direction yesterday and shaved the center section of my Van Dyke leaving me with a Fu Man Chu mustache and a soul patch. Since it might be a while before my next hair cut, I started prepping for my next pony tail. Heck, I'm 70 and live alone; who's going to object???

I shaved yesterday for the first time in over 2 weeks. My daughter said it looked horrible and she was right.

However, I have not been able to get a haircut for 2 months but I'm not sure anyone would notice - even if I saw someone I know. My wife offered to cut it for me last week - - - - - - - - I declined. She said, "How hard could it be? It's all the same length." It is not. It's strategically "layered". A nuance lost on her. I didn't want to look like this............. great guitar player, hair model not so much.

Yeah - 3 weeks now.

Getting a little scruffy to say the least.

Probably shave it soon, and my head too!

Wahl clippers with number two guard.
