Just curious - How many of you (men, only) have a mustache or beard of any kind? I had a mustaches for decades, and then I shaved it off. Now, I have a mustaches and chin whiskers. Since Covid, many more men have beards.

It is easier not to shave, especially large areas of the face.
I have had hair on my face since my last year in the Army. My last assignment allowed me to have a full beard.

Had a mustache for many years a long time ago. Although I hate shaving I still do it but only every three or four days. Since I'm retired and don't go to work I forego the daily routine.
The title of your post says "Survery - Facial Hair". If this includes eye brows then yes I have some facial hair.

16 hairs on the left side and 22 on the right, preclude the pleasure of owning a beard or mustache. That, plus the fact that they are light, means that I can go go a few days without shaving and no one will notice. Tried to grow a mustache in Vietnam, and after 4 weeks I had to put black shoe polish on it so it could be seen further than 3 feet away!

I've had a mustache all of my adult life, and a couple years ago when I retired I decided to stop shaving entirely. It seems to me that beards are very popular now.

Have a beard and mustache since I was discharged from the service in 1975. I guess I am too lazy to shave every other day.

I quit shaving when I had to write a thesis in Grad school. It was a bit more work to trim things neatly but less often. When I became a farmer the trimming got less frequent.
When my wife died I found another candidate. One of the conditions for her becoming a wife was that I shave. So now I'm down to a mustache. I have to shave more regularly because otherwise it provides a rough surface that impacts tender spots on the wife. It was a small price to pay.

Beards are a fashion statement (at least in modern days) that come and go over time. Remember the late 60’s and 70s? Long hair, long sideburns or muttonchops, and beards were faddish back then. They soon faded away. A few years back the cool guys started showing three or four days beard growth and it became fashionable for young men. I read somewhere that women ranked men with three day old beard growth as the coolest and sexiest - they evidently hadn’t seen me with a three day growth (a derelict drifter look that does not compliment me at all!). DT Jr and Eric are a couple other guys that need to lose that look. The full beards we are seeing these days on young men will hopefully run its course soon. Those guys will soon be old enough that they won’t want to look like their decrepit, unkempt Grandpaw.

I get a kick out of watching movies from back then.

Back in 1983 I came back from a three week horse camping trip with a three week growth. Decided, what the heck ,lets see where this goes. Haven't shaved since; just quick trim. Had a mustache a few years only before that. Beats shaving everyday.
