I have heard of shaving and I have heard of shaving only every 3-4 days (I have a light beard and that’s what I do) and trimming a beard (I used to have a beard) but I am delighted to be informed that men use trimmers that will take their facial hair down to the equivalent of 1-3 day’s growth and maintain that level as an alternative to shaving. Just didn’t know that was a thing.

Thanks to all.

Fair enough. That’s not something that I could do.
