After about 5 days it looks really bad but I just cba to shave :mmm:

I normally shave once a week, usually Monday morning

Although I should shave about every other day to look like a normal 17 year old

Haha ^^, so you don't wanna keep some facial hair like on the chin or even a wait for it.. a goatee? :P, I think a clean shave is nice but when there is some hair on but not a full on beard it looks even better :cool:


Nah I think I look a lot better with no facial hair, even a goatee looks silly on me :p:

Though some guys do look sharp with some stubble

How often do you guys shave (facial hair)?

How many days can you go without shaving before it starts to look bad / affects your apperance?

Shaving is for women.

Beards are for pros.

Shave everyday :smile:
1 day = designer stubble.

Any more than that and I look like a wookie.
I'm 6'1 and a 20 stone tattooed strongman, I already look like a brute - not shaving is just nice.

every week or so, but i get quite beardy after 2 days.
Daily, otherwise I feel uncomfortable.
I shave every day with a Merkur razor, unless I have a beard in which case I shave the neck and cheekline every day and every 2/3 days I trim it to a no. 2 or 3 with a trimmer.

I think its lazy to just shave every 5-6 days and have a constant cycle of slowly growing stubble then shave, so many men do it, but to be fair its usually student age men who haven't got much growth anyway. I think if you want to be taken seriously you need to be either daily clean shaven or have a well maintained beard. The designer stubble look looks more effective if people are used to you being clean shaven, then one week you give yourself the weekend off shaving and turn up to work on Monday with a rugged stubble look, then ditch it by Tuesday.

2 days normally but I have some pretty bad-ass stubble by then. If I leave it 2 weeks it feels like I'm shaving a head of hair or something.
