Beardy pain.
Here's one area of Western society in which women generally have it much easier then men; women have it utterly made where shaving is concerned.

Shaving my face is rubbish. Why would any just society dictate that I have to scrape a razor-sharp razor all over the most visible and vital to social interaction part of my body, first thing in the damned morning whilst my brain is still half-asleep and my dexterity is suffering a -2D6 penalty with possible additional modifiers depending on how the previous night went?

In response to this, women might wish to bring up having to shave their legs, underarms, or whatever else to comply with prevailing societal standards of beauty, but the things ladies generally shave can easily be covered with clothing if one is just not feeling up to it. If I could skip shaving my face and just go to work with a trouser leg over my head instead, I would be so happy.

I agree!
But I have to add that shaving one's armpits, at any time of day, incurs at least a 4D6 penalty. It's not a straight surface!

Beardy solution
You could always just grow a beard. Works for me.

And me.
I love my beard.

You can scratch it and look pensive.

and people automatically think you are wise
if you have a decent beard anyway.

I sport a beard and sideburns combo. not joined together there is a gap between, but having these means I can get away with not shaving more than once a week.

it's great

That's why burkhas are great.
And judging from the amount of Fu Manchu moustaches some of the women out and about are sporting, it has to be Burkha or Bic time.

Im currently sporting a Mehican Bandido 'tache (or 70's Porn star look in my minds eye) and its great; mind I only shave about twice a week anyway; be stubbly and proud!

*Clicks*
Just for making me laugh so hard at the image of a bloke going to work with a trouser leg over his head.
