Unshaved usually means having facial hair that hasn't been removed with a razor. When someone is unshaved, you can see and feel the stubble or beard growing on their chin, cheeks, and neck.

Most adult men grow facial hair naturally, and many choose to shave it off regularly to keep their face smooth. But when they skip shaving for a day or two, they become unshaved. The stubble feels prickly and rough to the touch. Some men prefer to stay unshaved and grow beards, while others shave every morning as part of their routine.

You might notice your dad or grandfather looking unshaved on a weekend morning before he's gotten ready for the day. Sometimes people use unshaven instead, which means almost the same thing. In stories or movies, a character who's been traveling for days or going through a difficult time may appear unshaved, showing that they haven't had time for their usual grooming routine.
