So, how many of you keep a beard? clean shaven? mustache? facial hair combo?

I shave every day. Even when I had a ponytail. I just feel odd if I don't and my job requires it. Personally I agree as we are a food store and I work around the loose fruit and veg.
I'm old school and shave everyday. On days off I shave later in the day but still go through the routine. Also as I work as an ambulance Tech it's easier for me to wash up at the end of the shift with just a 5 o'clock shadow rather than a full beard. However I do have some medium length side burns but these are kept grade 1 or 2 short with the clippers.
Short trimmed beard here. I use a beard trimmer to keep my beard short and till I discovered this forum I also used the trimmer to trim my neck and cheeks as close as I could. It wasn't the "cleanest" look, but electric and cartridges always cut up my neck if I wanted to get a clean shave.
Now I am using a Feather AC and hope to develop the skill to get a close shave on my neck (SAS, DFS) without cutting the skin there by just sticking to WTG. I noticed that the Feather AC doesn't have a problem cutting through longer hair. The shaved area on my cheeks is getting larger and larger. Before I know it I am going to end up with a full goatee if I don't watch it.

I usually keep a chin strap. For a lot of people when they hit a certain age they want to look younger, I look younger then I am but I don't like it. I have a graying beard and some facial hair shows I am older. Unfortunately, I have sensitive skin so I skip at least 2 days before shaving again so it's not out of the ordinary for me to sport facial hair period.
Uncle Sam requires that I be clean shaven every day.
Would I be correct in assuming what you gents are referring to as a "full goatee" is actually more commonly referred to in the past as a "Van Dyke?"
Full goat beard. I have had it for a while now. Thinking about going with a Zappa beard, but with a less Groucho-like mustache.
Van Dyke or more traditionally, Van Dyck.
Not sure what qualifies as "sideburns", but my hair stops just above mid-ear.
Nothing about head shaves? Seems like a lot of gents here are clean shaven on face AND head... like me. Cheers!

Props on that AV, i miss that show.
Had to look up what the van dyke was, And yes. But i trim mine with the clippers (#2 guard) so it's not as long.
The only part of my facial hair that changes is my sideburns. The rest of me is always clean shaven, but my sideburns range from small to large and ferocious.
Clean shaven, everyday, for decades.
Every day shaver here. Although, if I could grow a full beard I'd try it. But, it just doesn't grow. I've had a goatee from time to time, but the cheeks and sideburns won't come in.
Goatee/mustache kept trimmed. If I don't I look too baby faced for my own comfort.
Mustachioed since 1976. Otherwise clean shaven for the last several years, but in college I wore a full beard.
I still have a goatee and sideburns.
