According to Hatfield and the North, shaving is boring. But it's not...

That’s a shame, but at least he had fun shaving.

Not unlikely. I have never seen any portrait of him with a beard.
 
No, he died after 1200.
Posthumous rehabilitation.

@Grape_Jam: Yes, he may be called an author as well. He wrote on different subjects.
@refugee: Yes, European.
 
He was merged with an early 20th century fictional character into a late 20th century fictional character.

Not native, but I bet he could speak quite a lot of German in the latter part of his life.
 
He studied for 12 years without obtaining a master's degree.

Yup, he died around 1347/1348, "It is believed that he studied theology at the University of Oxford from 1309 to 1321, but never completed his master's degree", "many scholars have thought that Ockham was summoned before the Papal court of Avignon in 1324 under charges of heresy", "[John Lutterell] carried with him a booklet of 56 errors taken from a commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard by William of Ockham"
 
It all fits.
