unshaven

Needing a razor

Unshaven describes a man whose face shows visible stubble from not having shaved recently: He showed up looking tired and unshaven.

The word suggests either deliberate casualness or neglect of grooming, and often appears alongside other markers of dishevelment: unshaven and bleary-eyed.
