Jan 2, 2018 at 10:39 comment added vsz He doesn't shave. His mustache is removed by CGI in post-production :)
Oct 18, 2016 at 1:09 comment added user68965 His razor blades of course have just the right concentration of kryptonite to weaken his hairs and allow them to be cut.

Jan 11, 2012 at 23:19 comment added Keith Thompson Only marginally relevant, but there's a scene in Hancock where the title character, a similarly invulnerable superhero, shaves with his fingernails.

Jan 11, 2012 at 20:58 comment added user4205 Here is the question, when he landed on earth as a baby. Did he have super powers? and if he did, how did his parents cut his hair, and nails?? If both were that tuff, then he would have had hair down to his knees, and finger nails curling up as well as toe nails which he could not wear shoes. Also does superman produce waste? why does he need to eat? how does he expel waste in a safe way with out exploding toilets? I guess he has control?

Sep 12, 2011 at 13:51 comment added Aarthi I know that episode of Superman: The Animated Series is one of the first ones with Mr. Mxyzptlk (I had to Google for that twice, no lie) and has a commentary track. The creative staff talked about borrowing that from the comics. Also, the answers below are probably better researched, but there's an easier way, imho -- lock him in a dark room with a red sun lamp for a while and he can cut his hair no problem. (That's also the way around the Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex problem.) For reference, depending on the canon, doing that basically powers him down to normal human strength.

Sep 6, 2011 at 21:28 comment added Goodbye Stack Exchange Went through my comics and actually found the one I was thinking of: Superman 402 from 1984, and it wouldn't have been a good example for this question, unfortunately. The guy on the cover is actually an escaped psychiatric patient named Jylla from the 40th century. He was apprehended in the Superman Museum, by men from the future. (Wow, this stuff was weird.)

Sep 6, 2011 at 21:16 comment added Goodbye Stack Exchange Out of curiosity, where's that first image from? It looks familiar, but I can't place where I've seen it.
