Superman's beard has changed over the years!. Back in the 60's, when they first started paying attention to such little continuity issues, it was stated that his hair, beard and nails don't grow!. (That makes no sense to me, they are all dead tissue, and as we all know he's supposed to be invulnerable, so you can't kill him!. If no part of him can die, then his hair beard and nails should always keep growing!.)
There was one comic where he was affected by Red Kryptonite, which causes unpredictable mutations!. This time it caused his hair, bread and nails to sprout wildly!. He looked like the super wild man from Borneo!. Because his heat vision couldt cut it, he felt it would ruin his secret identity!.
Supergirl to the rescue! Actually, Supergirl and his dog, Krypto! They used their combined heat vision which is twice as hot as his, to give him a shave, manicure and haircut!.
Prior to the John BUrne revamp, the only time Superman ever needed a shave was when he was under a red sun and lost his powers, then his beard and hair would grow normally!.
Like one time he traveled into the far future, when Earth's sun would grow into a red giant start, and then he was stuck because he no longe rhad his powers to get back! He found the ruins of his Fortress in the far north and used one of his trophies to get into space near a yellow sun so he could travel back into the past!. (But he had to shave first, because he knew if he waited until later, he couldn't!.)
In another early story, Pete Ross' son Jon figured out that Clark Kent was Superman because he used his bathroom and the nosy kid looked inside the medicine cabinet and saw no razor or shaving cream or bandaids or aspirin, nothing that an ordinary man would need!. There was just a comb and brush, for when his hair got messed up flying!.
Since the Crisis on Infinite Earths, they introduced the idea that he had to shave!. (He was no longer invulnerable, he just had an invisible force field!.) Then they used a curved piece of reflective metal from his rocket ship and he used his heat vision!.
The problem with that is that materials from Krypton are not necessarily indestructible any more! So I don't see why they bothered!.
Superman doesn't really need a mirror!. His super perception vision powers are more like clarvoyance, and his heat vision is like pyrogenesis!. He doesn't actually detect x-rays to see through things or project beams of heat out of his eyeballs!. If he can see his reflectionin an ordinary mirror, he can make the heat appear where he wants it, enough to shave with!.
Things were a lot easier when he just didn't NEED to shave!.

In a few variations of Superman that I have seen (both the animated version that appeared on the WB and the 1990's live Adventures of Lois and Clark) Superman shaves by reflecting his laser vision off a mirror and onto his stubbly face!.
I guess where things would get complicated would be if he ever had to shave his back!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

who really cares man!? Are you stating that Superman is a real person!? Geez, How does someone as large as Bumblebee in Transformers transform into such a small vehicle!?
Come on man, if people ask questions like that, then entertainment in movies would be crappy!.
The real question is, when the Hulk transforms, he's about 3 times the size and his pants some how stays fitted!. Why is that!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
