My facial hair doesn't grow particularly quickly.Bertylicious said:
Thick enough, just not very quick.
I rock a full beard all the time these days. I used to shave every other day up until a few years ago when I hit 30, then I just said fuck it and let it grow. I do keep it trimmed, so I don't look like a hobo. The only area I do shave often is my neck. I just try to keep it neat and tidy.
Beards are gross.
I'll let a bit of rougish-looking scruff grow in, and then its all shaved off.

I shave at least once a week. 2-3 times usually. I can usually last about 2 days of not shaving before it starts looking unpresentable for business or social situations. If I'm feeling particularly lazy I can wait a week before shaving without trimming first becomes a pain, both physically, and in terms of effort.
I wish I could get mine that long; longest I've managed was about 5", which was able to cover my throat.Voxgizer said:I've been known to let my goatee swing freely from time to time.
Feels good, man. Hope the picture isn't gigantic.
I generally save the other areas once a week or so.

Captcha might be right. Beard buddies are always good.
I am stuck in an uncomfortable middle ground when it comes to shaving. I hate shaving, it is a fucking chore and a half, I shave every 2 days. I would grow it out, but it gets to a certain point that it starts itching really badly. People have said to me that that goes away after a while, but last year I grew it out for about 3 weeks, it being unbearably itchy for the majority of that time, it was a pleasure to finally get rid of that beard when I had to go back to work.
So, I shave because I have to. But I don't like it.

I maintain a moustache and goatee at present and keep the rest shaven every few days (if I did it every day I'd go through razors faster than I make money, my facial hair grows very fast and is like barbed wire).
Too well built for clean shaven makes my face look fat and derpy.

There's no real set interval between shavings for me. I really only shave when my boss tells me to or when I have to go somewhere fancy. Our contract states we need to be clean-shaven everyday, but my boss fortunately doesn't give much of a fuck. She makes me shave like once every 3-6 months. Left to my own devices (ie back in high school and university), I shaved once a year most years and not at all other years. Too much pointless hassle, really. I don't stand to gain anything from shaving.
If I shaved I'd look like a 12 year old... So I leave my beard on and trim it every couple of weeks...Bamba said:
One of my last jobs made me shave and it was horrible! All man should wear a beard! Girls (usually) love it and it makes you feel 15% more badass!
Angling to get elected as Milk Guardian, I see.KelDG said:
OT: theoretically every other day. I'm lazy though.
Gonna go for Movember this year just as an excuse to beard up. If it looks good, I'll keep it and start trimming instead.
The puberty forum?
Of course I shave. Once a day or every other day would be the optimum shaving frequency. Three-four days is kinda pushing the limit, as I'm not planning to grow a beard. I've got no facial features to hide.
So for my face it's mostly every other/three days, since I'm somewhat lazy. I do shave my head mostly about every five/ten days though. And then there's the other shavings. Enough testosterone and dihydrotestosterone; too bad I'm not too keen on facial & body hair, as it gets somewhat tiresome after a while to get rid of it.

My family's genes (for males) actually has a lot of problem growing facial hair. I can grow little patches of hair, so I always shave.
I shave with a safety razor almost every day, although I sometimes let a little stubble grow in when I'm really busy or have a cut on my face that I don't want to irritate.
My beard must grow a bunch slower, then.Voxgizer said:It took me a little over a year to let it get that long.Aerodyamic said:I wish I could get mine that long; longest I've managed was about 5", which was able to cover my throat.Voxgizer said:I've been known to let my goatee swing freely from time to time.

Captcha might be right. Beard buddies are always good.
I should mention the first rule of being beard buddies, though: no making out, because beard-lock sucks, and trying to un-velcro 2 beards is a terribly frustrating game.
I found that I have two bald spots under my lower lip (totally symetrical) so I don't grow a beard but I do have a pretty kickass mustache.
