Look, if it makes you feel better, I'm as much a slave to this shit as anyone, piercing, hair colour. it's endless, you should see the mounds of 'fashion' mags i get through.
don't take it personally
Elfinsafety i dispute that.if you saw my beard,you'd see that i wasn't trying at all (i do look like someone who has just got out of a skip 😳 but i really hate shaving (as i suffer with excema/a good enough excuse 😉
piercing
FREAK
I don't take it personally, it's just irritating that strangers think I want to hear their views on my looks.
I agree it does sound like you try too hard though 😛
So, who doesnt shave?
Me. Gave up in 2003; tried it for a job interview the following year, felt really uncomfortable, and never shaved since. As the OP says, clippers on the stubble every few days are enough.
Only real issue for me is the neck beard, which really does need keeping down. To be honest, shaving is probably the best bet for it, but I refuse on principle.
I don't shave, prefer waxing
My effort last year of movember

Even when I bothered to shave, I didn't do so more than once or twice a week. I've always had a three-to-four day shadow. Now it's just a proper beard, which, together with my wire spectacles, makes me feel extra philosophical.
Clippers on my face, razor on my legs.
