I have a beard that's longer than 2 in. But I put in a religious accommodation form because I am Hebrew Israelite and I followed the Bible which instructs believers to have beards. I don't have a shaved waiver from the doctor and my beard is over 2 inches long, the only thing that happened is they took a picture of it and that was it, and I haven't heard anything else for over a year.Problem is people grow facial air differently. No shaving means absolutely no shaving. Most shave the lower part of their neck or other areas to sculpt it the way they like. It also can't be longer then 2 inches.
Also lets be honest most get the waiver because they think they look good with stubble or whatever and shape the sideburns and whatever. Our DM has jumped all over this and guys are crying about how they now look like woods men.

If you really have a problem with ingrown hairs, try wet shaving. I've been using a merkur safety razor for 10 years, with real shaving soap, and a beaver hair brush, and it is so much better for your skin, and is the closest shave possible. It doesn't take much longer than using some overpriced 
ty 8 blade razor.
I actually enjoy shaving and splashing that classic Clubman aftershave on my face for that little sting. Such a classic barber shop smell. Women love it. You will cut the out of your face like Edward scissorhands at first but you will get used to it after the first week or so.
On Amazon you can buy everything you need and you'll save a ton of money in the long run.

Yeah well I'm not going to tell a story just to get is shaving note. I shave every day of my adult professional life sometimes twice a day and my face is as smooth as a baby's bottom, and everyone in feeders news that I don't get razor bumps so I doubt that story would work for me...

Don’t need a story just a doctors note. Outside of that it’s none of ups business

I like my beard. Waking up on Monday mornings not having to worry about shaving. Saves me 10$ a month too, thanks.

You smell that?
What is considered “sculpting” of a beard, also it states the appearance standards are a “clean shaved face” so does that mean you don’t have to shave the neck/throat, and if you do have a shave waiver can shave that area as it would not be considered sculpting since it’s not your face?

Meaning no chin straps or anything that makes you look good. If you get a shave waiver it means you can't shave for medical reasons so Ups isn't going to allow you to game the system just because you want to look cool. Man up and shave every day like drivers have been doing for years, or you'll have to grow out a full beard and not just the style you want to grow.
You forgot about no shave Friday

Nobody shaves on Friday’s.
I don't
I’m not talking about chin straps or anything crazy. I’m specifically referencing the part of the waiver that states “clean shaven face” it does not reference the neck. So my question is can you shave your neck since it isn’t your face as defined in the waiver. Can you shave it on the weekend since i’m not working for UPS on the weekend? I’ve shaved everyday and continue to get rashes that break out, so I started shaving every other day at which point I got bitched at of course, and get ingrown hairs. So I really don’t need to justify it or rationalize it, just looking for actual helpful info here which I know is few and far between.

Sometimes I skip shaving Thursday AND Friday so it's very obvious I didn't shave. I do it in hopes of being sent home on a Friday, but it never works

That’s considered grooming. Everyone knows what clean shaven means. Don’t try to play games with it and you’ll be fine.

Pretty much my exact scenario. I could shave every other day and be fine but they wanted to make a big deal out of it so I got a waiver.
If I want to look nice on the weekend I rarely shave but I’ll take a beard trimmer with no guard and trim up areas. Then once every could weeks I take the beard trimmer no guard to everything

To be honest with you I shave Sunday and I let it go till the next Sunday. My sups don’t really say anything I don’t cover tats either.Sometimes I skip shaving Thursday AND Friday so it's very obvious I didn't shave. I do it in hopes of being sent home on a Friday, but it never works
