No Shave November?

Do you participate? I know this is a "thing" but it usually takes a few minutes to register when you see those normally clean shaven people at the end of the month looking like they are trying out for the new "Grizzly Adams".
 
 
I tried it one time, but growing a beard (or even just a mustache) is not something my body does well.
 
Never. I grew my beard when I felt like growing my beard, and stayed clean-shaven when I wanted to be.
 
Gets too itchy. Uusually doesn't get far in November as my part time job you have to be clean shaven.
 
I generally shave October 31st and then don't shave again until March. Wife loves it otherwise I would probably shave by Christmas.
 
Doing or not doing something just because of which day or date is on the calendar is stupid (ex. New Year's Resolutions). I shave when I want to shave and let the beard grow when I want. Usually keep a beard in the winter to help combat the cold (I'm outside a lot).

I've had a goatee for as long as I remember. Going shaveless in November is something my wife constantly complains about so instead of trying to explain that to her while she b*tches and moans about it, I just shave.
 
Every millenial in the office does no shave year 'round, they seem to shave every 3-5 days. Not a fan of the look as it comes across as grubby and not everyone can pull it off. The other grooming trend I don't get is man buns, the only dudes that should have man buns are sumo wrestlers.
 
I shaved my beard when I graduated from college to get my first job, and have not been clean shaven since. That was August of '77.
 
I’m one of those guys that can practically grow a full beard in an afternoon. In my consulting days, I would often literally shave at lunch as to not appear to have a 5 day stubble look in the afternoon/evening.

My wife knows how to get me to shave. All she has to say is "There is grey coming in' on the beard! Longest I went was about 3 weeks as we were going to do a , um, job where to fit it we were to have as much stubble/beard as we could.
 
I work at home for the most part so there are weeks where I don’t shave. When I saw this thread it was Nov 8th and I realized I hadn’t shaved in November. But I shaved the next day, I have a feeling the wife doesn’t like the beard if it grows in too much so O shaved every 3-4 days usually.

Mine is the same way.

My facial hair grows so fast I can shave in the morning and by lunch there's enough stubble it feels like sandpaper.
 
I weakly attempt to participate. I also, am no good at growing a beard, but I do it for fun and my son thinks its funny.
 
When I try and grow facial hair I look like a pedophile. I grew only a mustache and my wife said I look like a mix between a pedophile and a cop.
 
So far, I've shaved every day this month. I'll keep everyone updated.

Wasn't there an old saying that "gentlemen shave twice a day"? First thing in the morning and then again before dinner. I don't think my father ever went a single day without shaving.
