I'm keeping the beard in check. Just using a small trim guard to keep it short, and shaving the upper cheek/neck neat and clean. I only do this like once a week anyways.

I'm thinking about experimenting with my head hair, though... I might try to fade the sides and back, blend the top with a trim guard, but it may be easier said than done. If I mess up I'll just give myself a full buzz cut LOL. Looks badass anyways IDGAF I'm not going to Great Clips.

No, I still feel like I need to look presentable for work video calls.

Clean shaven, always.

I'm worried about my hair though, I also shave / buzz cut it and I don't have a proper tool to do it myself now.

Giving it some thought, I might shave it all off the first of April and let it grow back in again.

I'm literally going to shave everything off today. I have a beard because I look better with it. Since I'm not going out I'm taking the opportunity to do a full shave for the first time in years.

I'm kinda pondering this also. Have had a beard or at least stubble consistently for 4 years now, not a single full shave in all those years. Maybe it's time.

I think I'd let it grow out right after though and not shave anymore until it's all over haha

Thing is, my job requires me to be on a decent number of Skype calls so maybe I should maintain it after all... Decisions decisions!

I shaved most of my facial hair off with a razor for the first time in 2 years. (i just trimmed with clippers before that) I tend to touch and stroke my beard, or even lick the upper lip facial hair. I do these things much less without facial hair, so I shaved it.

I hadn't seen myself clean shaven in years, so I figured now's a good time to see if I still have that baby face, too.

I've spent the last six months cultivating what the CDC apparently calls a Bandholz. I still groom and straighten it every morning, though there's no one to see it.

Originally I was growing it out just to see what I felt like with a full beard, but it got pretty long and I got frustrated with having it there so I shaved it all off.

I'm growing out my goatee as long as it will go, both out of defiance and so that if I lose my job, I can sit on a mountaintop and stroke it when people ask for wisdom.

My facial hair has always been kinda patchy and shitty, but I usually let it grow anyway including now.

Facial hair I'm keeping trimmed but unfortunately my (increasingly thinning) hair is grown out. I look like a kewpie doll due to my recessed hairline.

I thought about growing out a beard during this time, as I'd been going clean-shaven for the past year and this was an easy opportunity to change that up. But I decided I already felt grubby enough working from home wearing sweatpants every day, and that keeping up with shaving would help counter that feeling.

Have never really tried to have facial hair before but I'm giving it a go now! Lol 3 weeks in and slowly but surely getting there. All I've heard/read is that you just need to be patient and I've never been that before, so it's kind of a fun experiment.

I have a really good electric razor. Takes me five minutes in the morning to take it out of the dock, shave off my five o'clock shadow, and be done with it.

My hair? There's no way I'd set foot into a salon even with a mask and gloves on until at least the end of April.

I never had the chance to grow it out, now's the time. It's been a week and the goatee and moustache are there but the rest of the beard is pathetic... i'll never be a real man. :(

I can grow a beard but I have a single patch on my left side right by a birth mark. It kinda sucks cause I've been at it for 6 months now and I have no choice but to trim it to even it.

Going to shave when I have to go out and wear a face mask, because having a beard will make it ineffective.
Not planning on leaving the building in the next 6 months.

Mine reached about 3 weeks and started to really itch so I shaved it. I wont pass judgement on people in here but I would never grow full beard even if it didn't feel horrible

Moderate stubble before a shave. I just look off with long stubble at some point, part death, part homeless. It's thick, not patchy but I never make it past the long stubble phase.

I tried for a week but apparently I can't grow a beard. Looked scraggly and awful so I shaved it off yesterday.

Started growing my beard out since I started sheltering in place a couple of weeks ago.

But the announcement that it's been extended through May (and we'll see about that) prompted me to trim. Need to start treating this more just like normal life.

As always, I'll be trying to go full Grizzly Adams until complaints from the wife, quite rightly, get too frequent for me to not shave.

I had been consistently shaving since the summer, now I'm just trimming with my shitty electric razor. I also got a buzzcut when I had a perfectly good, nicely done undercut hairstyle. Thanks, quarantine!
