Since I'm unemployed right now, I don't shave but maybe once every 1-2 weeks. When I was working, we just had to keep it neat.

I'll usually always shave Monday and Wednesday mornings. Other days just depend on what I'm doing.

I have the freedom to do as I wish but prefer to keep it pretty neat/clean shaven. If they don't like all that hair down there they probably don't like up there either.

As of recent, they have decided to care. They shouldn't because some of the guys can't even shave properly. I was told to shave last week although I had a bit of sunburn and was just trying to let the burn go away a bit before I took a razor to it.

Pretty much the same with me. We rarely meet with clients. We're not allowed to come it wearing ratty looking jeans, etc but there's no issue with facial hair. When I was wrestling, I had hair almost down to my ass, a 6 inch goat coming off my chin, various body piercings and multiple tats. I looked like a psychotic leprechaun.

I never meet our clients, only speak with them on the phone....And the majority of my work is accounting related behind the scenes.

I always have a 5 o'clock shadow look, and will shave my neck pretty much daily. For my face I just use a face trimmer with no guard.

I shave twice a week. Not because of my job but because my facial hair doesn't grow very fast.

I shave once a week, before church on Sunday.

I do shave on business trips when I will be in front of the customer, but when in the office I just let it go most of the week, like someone said above, who cares when I'm at the computer.

I'm required to be clean shaven, but can have a mustache. I fucking hate it. But recently, I've realized that as long as I take my electric trimmer and get really close to the skin, they won't say anything to me. I really do hate using a razor. Just not for me. When I'm at school, I rock a full beard. And when I student teach, I merely keep it trimmed up nice and clean.

It took me years, but I'm finally at a job where daily shaving isn't required. (It only took me 21 years in the work force to find a place this way)

Independent contractor, so no, I dont need to shave. However, I dont like to let my beard grow too much and my facial hair grows fast. I shave every other day because anything past stubble I dont like the look.

The strategy so far is just to shave every monday morning, and it seems to grow out just a little bit before tomorrow. I personally don't think its bad, but I'm also younger than 99% of the people on this forum.

LOL

that is about where i am at on this thing,

i could do whatever I want...i have to present some semblane of control for the client.
the client does not need to know that I post on a crazy chat site several nites a week all lit up.
so...
therefore, i shave almost every day except Friday;
cause Friday is for me, baby.
