I shave every morning in the shower. No need to stare in a mirror.

When I was working from work, as opposed to working from home, I would shave Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My beard is all white and doesn't look bad on those off days. Now that I work from home, I'll shave roughly every five days unless I'm going somewhere where I need to look neat.

I pretty much always have a beard or goatee. But I keep it relatively neat, trimming it every week or two and I shave my neck and cheeks pretty much every day. I can't shave with a wet razor more than every 3-4 days or my skin goes crazy on me, but I use an electric and I'm fine doing it every day.

Every other day. One day of stubble isn't too bad, but I can't take two.

2-5 times a week, depending on what is on my schedule.

Let's see... Last time would have been somewhere around 1984.

Every other day before Covid. I've added a day now. Norelco 3-head for me.

I wear a Wyatt Earp thick moustache and a small soul patch. I'm required to be able to get a good seal with an SCBA for my job, so I shave the rest every workday.

I really should shave every other day. I often leave it for 3 days, but by then it’s getting uncomfortable. For me, it’s not manly - just scruffy

I switched to wet shaving 7 or 8 years ago, and have settled to a razor and an appropriate set of condiments that work very well for me.

I actually rather enjoy the ritual. It’s not as if I don’t have the time

During my work life I shaved every weekday. Since retiring 10 years ago, every 2-3 days unless for a family/friend gathering.

Have never had a beard or mustache. During the past two years I’ve gone as long as 10 days and cannot stand the way it feels.

Used to shave everyday, including weekends,. Now I’m pretty every other day.

I'm retired and have settled in on every other day. If I go a third day (it happens every once in a while), it just feels a little itchy and icky.
