Guys: Do you ever go a long time w/o shaving?

[Descartes]

I've been pretty lazy lately. I go several days without shaving, and almost a full week this time

I've had a few comments like, "what's with the growth?", but nothing bad. Is this unprofessional of me?

 

[pulse8]

I go about 4-6 days without shaving all the time. I hate shaving.

 

[Pastore]

my girlfriend likes the scruffy look... so i usually go about a week between shaves...

 

[Beau]

I can't stand to go more than a two, maybe three days with out it. I recently started growing a partial goatee, and am having a hard time not shaving it...

 

[murphy55d]

every 4-5 days. my facial hair doesn't grow all that fast.

i went through that too...since my gf and i started fighting last week, i just stopped caring and stopped shaving. Now that we've broken up, i'm not in any rush to impress anybody, so i'm at a week w/o shaving. I've trimmed it up, but having a beard in this hot michigan weather is kinda silly.

I like the way I look/feel after I've had about a day of growth. Not quite scruffy, not quite that "baby face, skin as tight as leather" look.

 

[vi edit]

Cool. I was going to start a thread on this earlier this morning

I shave VERY infrequently. And I don't actually shave. I just take a beard trimmer to my neck and cheeks, and "manage" the goatee. I'm usually a shaggy mofo. Luckily the employers don't seem to mind.

I use an actual razor, maybe 5 times a year.

i've got the goatee(oldpic) goin on, and it starts growing under my chin and on the sides of the goatee pretty fast...i don't shave it more then once every ~2-3 days, but I let it go almost all last week and it was gettin kinda scruffy/irritating so I had to put an end to that :Q

edit - I usually try to trim it every time I shave or it starts growin wild and gets outta hand

That's how I was for a few weeks after I broke up with my fiance.

 

[WhiteKnight]

Sometimes if I'm lazy or I won't be seeing my girlfriend for a few days I'll skip. It's a lot smoother then too when I actually do shave.

 

[Michael1897]

the most now that i work a day or 2

during school maybe a week at a time just depends

 

[Alphazero]

I shave around every 36 hours. Sometimes I let it grow because i get lazy or have no reason to shave, and then I get a really good shave. Never more than 4 days though.

 

[Tanner]

EXATLY...I'd let it go for weeks... but DANG it starts itching!!!

 

[Linflas]

I shave every morning before going to work. Weekends, long weekends, or vacations I don't shave unless I end up going out to a place where looking scruffy would be inappropriate.

 

[SnapIT]

I shave every day... real men do...

been there, done that. Gets old after a while, thus the need for something new on the face like a go-tee or whatever. I dunno. I can barely grow a decent mustache, but it takes almost two weeks for it to grow in full.

funny, i consider them anal men.

 

[ElFenix]

i went a week and a half last time... got too damned itchy... plus i was going out so that had something to do with it.

i have to shave before doing anything strenuous outside or i'll just itch something awful.

 

[monk3y]

I usually only shave once every 3 days. I like the scruff hehe. But the longest I've went is probably 10 days, got way too itchy with the extra hair hehe.

 

[StageLeft]

Longest ever since started shaving was 11 days. It was a couple years ago and I was out of work at christmas time so I thought what the hell. In recent times I don't shave on the weekends but i don't have more than two days growth for work cause it looks lazy (because it is).

 

[Barrak]

Mine grows fairlly fast, but I have a new cheat. I use Hair clippers. The same ones you would use to give a haircut, just without any of the attachments. Yes you have stubble all the time, but it is short and well kept if you do it every day or 2, and it only takes about 30 seconds to do.

 

[yakko]

The most I go is 4 days.
