I keep my beard very well groomed, but my hair goes wild. I have cut my hair a few times before and it came out pretty good, but it's hard to get the neckline and ear lines right.

I can’t stand ear or neck hair and it all grows back. Eventually the barber will open again.

What little color I had is fading from lack of sun and colorful vegetables.

I feel like Matthew Modine in Birdy (at least today).

I pulled a GI Jane and shaved it off a couple weeks ago. It seemed like a good time. OTOH - home facials have become a bi-weekly, not monthly ritual and my natural nails look fabulous!!

shaved heads. I really hesitate to shave mine because one of the few things I get complimented on is my hair color. Both my hair and beard are a really nice white. I like it because it is the exact same color as my mom's hair. She passed in 2012, and whenever I look in the mirror, I get a nice brief memory of her.

With my long silver (OK...grey) hair and beard I probably already look a little like a cross between Gandalf and Santa.

Haven't had a haircut in over 20 years, and the rate of loss to new growth keeps it a few inches below my shoulder blades. I use to trim my beard every spring and fall (it would get caught up in my motorcycle helmet strap), but haven't done that in several years now. If I brush my beard to taper it I look sort of like one of those garden gnomes.

I've never liked long hair. Don't have the features for it nor the patience to fuss with it. I'm a wash and wear kinda gal.

my head hair clippers! Yeah so after using the clippers I look like just having a 1 day old stubble.
And it is so much faster and easier than the smooth shaving Remington rotary shaver.
Shaving every 3rd day, and takes all of 5 minutes each time.

But my beard is getting to the Wild-man Santa Claus length again. Contemplating just shaving it off completely if this doesn't let up soon.

It is my theory that if you are not seeing anyone any time, and may not for months, then it really isn't too important how often I shave. I haven't shaved my upper lip since July 6, 1971 anyway. I shave when I start to itch, about 3 days. After I retired I started cutting my own hair, first with my dog groomer clippers, and then I broke down and bought my own. My dog was complaining about me using hers; she said that they smelled funny.
I still like to be clean when I hit the sheets at night, so the shower is still getting a workout.
