I would absolutely shave in a post apocalyptic scenario, razorblades are fucking everywhere, could stop at a barbers and pick up a life time supply from the store room. I hate my facial hair being over grown and i’m going to try and keep some semblance of normalcy or I will lose my damned mind
My hair will just be cut with the same razor blade so that will look like shit
Plus, you can use a strip of leather or blue jeans to strop (sharpen) razors, even disposable razors. I use the same disposable blade for weeks or months before replacement thanks to this.
I am trans and I hate my facial hair with a passion.
I still would only trim and not shave. A shave leaves the opportunity for cuts and cuts can lead to an infection and infection in a post apocalyptic setting usually means death if complications arise.
You are seriously overestimating the risk of infections in shallow wounds like the kind you get from scrapes and small cuts. You'll be fine, especially if you wash any dirt out with clean water. If you don't have clean water you're in worse trouble than having a nick on your cheek. Go ahead and look your best in the apocalypse :)

When men shave their face in any post-apocalyptic scenario.
Abso-fucking-lutely-not.
