I've recently come to like wearing a three-days-beard. I don't know a friend with one, so what I'm asking is how to maintain a steady three days growth?
I razor-shave my head every other day, my facial hair usually daily. So I don't have an electronic shaver, which is most probably exactly what I need, right? I can just not imagine that you can trim your beard with that to, let's say 2mm.
Does this work? If so, which shaver should I get?

I have a beard trimmer and I take off the guard to trim very short. It looks like this:

Yeah, you need a good beard trimmer, and you'd probably set it to the lowest setting (1 or 2).

I keep a three-days beard if I could grow a beard in three days. Or at all.

I haven't found any electric trimmer / shaver that really does 3 days well.
With the trim guards, it typically gives you a 5+days look, w/o the trim guard, it's more like 2 days.
So I'm using my trimmer w/o guard every Monday, by midweek the look is the best.
By the weekend, it already looks a bit long, but Monday is never far

I can't even grow a beard. Best I get is a goatee that doesn't even join at the lips lol.

It takes me two days, actually, to grow a three-day beard, which isn't the slightest better.

I used to exclusively razor-shave, but to keep the 3-day look, I use a cheap beard trimmer that came with my Remington hair clippers. Works wonders.

Same happens to me. I should shave daily, but I'm quite lazy

I have a natural, thick goatee, and nothing else. If I go three days without shaving I look like a dirtbag.

My "three day beard" occurs about two hours after I shave. By bed-time I look like Alan Moore.

My father, who turns 60 this year, has only recently been able to grow respectable facial hair. I blame my genes, although I must say i don't mind not having to shave every day.

If only you were as hairy as, say, Sarah Silverman.

Wait, you're unemployed and it's St. Patty's Day. How are you not blitzed out of your skull right now?

I'll still be drinking, mind you, but I certainly won't be honoring my Irish roots the usual way.

You have Irish roots?
You just moved up a notch in my book. That puts you at notch one.
