As little as possible.  Beard and mustache are just trimmed as needed.  There are some pubes that I shave on a regular basis, every few weeks.  The bush gets trimmed every several months.  The rest of the body hair is left alone.  TMI perhaps, but what the heck.  As I have gotten older, I've been having this problem with coarse nose hairs popping up and annoying the hell out me.  Fortunately, I don't have a problem with ear hairs, back hair, etc.  LOL

Everytime I meet up with my girlfriend. Face it, she likes it shaved, even though she won't admit it. I just hate shaving it though. it feels so stupid and a smooth chin doesn't really feel good to touch, and it hurts. Usually I just go through it with the machine to make it shorter and even, then blading on special occasions.

I usually shave 2-3 times a week, unlike in high school which was every day (I went to a Catholic school, so that's why).  I've had a goatee since summer '06 and am trying to add a mustache at the moment.

about once a week. I'm lazy and don't feel motivated to do it more often (like I should). It's a little more time consuming, too, because i have to use a "manual" razor, as the electric ones I've used irritated mah skin. Embarrassed

Finally had my shave for the first time since the 28th (or was it the 29th) of December last year, and I'll shave every three days for perhaps the next two weeks.

There actually isn't any occasion, other than my Mother's Birthday this weekend, but I shaved purely because it seemed like the best thing to do at the timeWacko
That and I'll see if any of the females that didn't like me bearded dig my looks without a beardWink
On average actaully, about 1/3 of the girls I know love the beard, the other 2/3 like me clean shaved.

I was checking back in on this thread and an old Genesis song came to mind.  I tried to get the lyrics online so I wouldn't have to retype or go on memory.  The best thing I was able to find is the blurb that came on the lyrics sheet before the lyrics (I think or it may have been from the written stuff that came with the album):

"That night he pictured the removal of his hairy heart and to the
accompaniment of very
romantic music he watched it being shaved smooth by an anonymous
stainless steel razor."

To answer the question: each day. Raser est rasant, but well...
 
I tried one of those 4-blade razors to have a better result (faster), but I don't think that it helps, and I went back to my old-fashioned (cheaper) 2-blade razor.

Halfway through a 2 week holiday during which I'd not shaved, my wife threatened bodily dismemberment if I didn't shave, so I did, except for (jokingly) a goatee... my wife then hid my razor until I promised to keep it...

I've now had a goatee for approx 10 years - I think I'd feel distinctly odd without it now

Hahaha. Im sporting a goatee as well, but mine is much more, erm, voluntary. And I agree; I would feel completely naked without it. As for the rest of my mug, I need to shave about every other day.

I had a moustache for over 10 years and I thought I'd never shave it 'cos it seemed to me I'd feel naked without them. Eventually I did have them off about two years ago and now I really don't feel like letting them grow again. They made me look older. Tongue

BTW, I save every two, three days. If I don't my skin under the hair starts to itch and flake.

How many folks have referred to shaving "it" - chin, upper lid,sideburns, skull, bikini line, legs, arms, back, stomach, armpits?........curious to know, since I suspicious that many people are shy at naming particular body parts here.. Personally I shave my (face) cheeks and neck every other day and trim the rest of my beard and sideburns  monthly.

Me? I'm still a babyface at 17 going on 18. :(
I've only ever shaved twice to get rid of "bumfluff" in the hope that an actual tache would replace it, but to no avail.
Most of my friends are the same age as me and shave regulary (except Brad who likes to grow a black beard to look older) so I take a bit of banter from them.
From what I hear I'm not missing much because I've been told that "shaving sucks" by a few people.

Once a week.  I'm a lazyass and my beard grows a little slower than most.
