stubble
Day-old facial growth
Stubble is the short, stiff remnants of something cut close to its base.
After harvest, stubble is the stalks left standing in a field.
On a face, stubble is the rough growth of beard a day or two after shaving: He rubbed the stubble on his chin.
Stubble suggests incompleteness—neither cleanly removed nor fully grown.
