    The longest I did not shave my beard was 2 months. After I had it shaved, I felt sorry. I wish I'd let it grow more but I was looking like a homeless drunkard, I guess.

    2 Days LOL . I am a stippler for grooming these days.

    When I was well overweight and very depressed some years ago I didn't bother and couldnt be bothered no matter what others thought of me

    2 days? Is it because of job or your personal choice?

    No matter what me I have become, I have always been unattractive to the opposite sex. I became skinny, obese, in between and also long beard, no beard, long hair (no cut for 7 months), short hair or even no hair (clean shaved). I have become all different me. And nothing has chanced.

    The only thing I have not become is being muscular.

    long enough for shaving to be painful, because razors, for whatever odd reason, are rediculously expensive.
    the twin blades were just right, and you used to be able to get refills for them, all reasonably in expensively.
    but then they stared this nonsense of four or more blades in each blade head, just so they could use that as an excuse to jack up the price, as far as i can tell,
    and anything cheaper they just stopped making or stopped shopping. and most of the time there aren't refills, just the whole thing having to be thrown away,
    to witch i mean wtf, aren't we supposed to be generating LESS waste to not screw up the environment?
    at any rate every other day had been always sufficient when i could afford to, but now, i don't know what the longest was, i did grow a beard a couple of times,
    a big bushy one back in the day, but not, its 3 or four days typical, which isn't so bad hid by the mask i wear every time i leave the house, but still its annoying that i have to ration blades like that.

    for what its worth, social graces are worth more. still no guarantee.

    just a roll of the dice, the longer you live, the more likely you'll eventually get a winner.

    When one goes to the barber for the shaving once in a while, it is never painful.

    Ahh... something like 6 weeks? But even then, I trimmed my moustache with the scissors in my Swiss knife to stop them from itching. I usually always take it all off eventually, since a beard seriously does not suit me. My hairs begin to spread in every direction, and it's just nasty, like a wild bush. Not a good look for me. I've hoarded and stockpiled shaving equipment to last me for years, just in case the world ends someday.

    A man should be able to shave his own face. It's a matter of male pride and honor to possess this skill.

    2 years.
    I was a single mother in Turner's Falls, MA, back in the 80s
    I knew that if I pretended to be a man my raise in pay would be significant, so that's what I did. It was easy because I was on hormones as an experimental cancer treatment so had the ability to grow a beard.
    I took 2 jobs as John Twinspirits (a family name) and got paid in cash stocking shelves and delivering groceries by day and tending bar at a bowling alley at night.
    A male friend helped me be convincing and nobody ever guessed.
    I shave 3x a week now

    Don't be confused.
    .I am a woman who needed more money.
    I had been treated with testosterone for medical reasons and had had a mastectomy.
    I pretended to be a man for 2 years to get more money because men used to get paid more than women for doing the same work.
    That's the simplified version.
    I was confused myself, no worries.

    Eighteen months. I didn’t even trim is for the first year so they started calling me Osama bin Laden at work. It’s red so people kept accusing me of dying it (hair on my head is blond but the rest of my body hair is red. Dad was blond and moms a ginger, I got the combo).

    My wife hated it, so I shaved it off as a birthday present.
