Used to always be clean shaven, shave every day then about 3 years ago thought **** it I'll not shave few 3/4 days see what it's like. kept it that length ever since. Don't see myself going back to clean shaven now, think would make me look really young.
Similar for me. I used to clean shave but I always found it really uncomfortable. Mate said just use a beard trimmer and I now keep it at about 4-5 days length. Not had a clean shave in about 2 years.
Being bald makes having a beard a necessity for me .. otherwise if my old lady wanted to run her hands through my hair ... I have to pull my pants down
