I am or will be 69 in April. Wore a shirt suit and tie for more than 40 years and showered and shaved every day. I guess I would skip Saturdays at times. Loved to take a shower; it was a great way to start the day. I even wore a shirt, suit and tie to church for 30 of those years. When I retired six years ago from a stressful job, I just sort of fell right into it. I thought I might have problems, but retirement was the right thing for me. I continued to shower every day but cut the shaving down to every other day plus Sunday. Recently I have found myself not showering every day, especially in the winter, and going as much as four days without a shower or a shave. In the cold weather I find that I can do this with no discomfort, odors or problems. If I have an appointment or lunch date or any other function to attend I would never think of not showering and shaving. I would guess most weeks I shower and shave every other day or every third day, always including Sunday in there. No complaints from anyone, including my wife, children, friends, neighbors and dog. I feel entitled to let down a little bit on these daily chores, especially the shaving. If I felt dirty I would shower, and I do so more often in the summer. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of retired people and have several retired friends. I know for sure that not all of them shave every day, and none of them have beards. Yet they do not look bad unshaven, nor do I.
