So... I was pranked by the dwarf. When I attempted a counter prank, he RPed his way out by playing up his character’s low intelligence. Which I feel was lame, and I’m now determined to tie him up in a knot of inescapable vengeance, aka: plan hypnosis and shave
If I get him with my wizard’s hypnotic gaze, can I keep him under the effects while I shave his beard and/or give him a clown face?
This is a brainstorming session, so feel free to volunteer other options.

What about the spell "Hypnotic Pattern" ? It basically does the same thing as "Hypnotic Gaze" but doesn't have the limitation of needing to use your action to maintain.
It does end though if "an affected creature takes any damage". So don't knick him while giving him the shave! Haha.
"Hold Person" is a 2nd level Spell, versus "Hypnotioc Pattern" being a 3rd. So "Hold Person" is probably a better option.
The downside though is that both "Hold Person" and "Hypnotic Pattern" both only last a minute, so you better shave fast!
You could also shave him in his sleep (sleep spell if needed).
Use Grease to make him fall on his arse.
Prestidigitation to make it seem like he soiled himself. Same cantrip to create bad odour too.
When he's not looking use Mold Earth to make a hole and Minor Illusion to cover it, lure him towards it and watch him fall in.
If you're high-level and out in public use Otto's Irresistable Dance when there's no music.
Levitate him and watch him struggle.
Harass his mind with Sending.
If you're high-enough level use Modify Memory to give him very embarassing memories.
Use Dream spell to give him nightmares.
Use Magic Mouth on all his equipment and weapons to shout embarassing phrases in various situations (like armour that says "TOUCH ME MORE!" whenever hit or a sword that says "Tag, You're it!" whenever it lands a strike or his bag that will say "I LiKe YoU iNsIdE mE!" whenever he reaches into it).
When he's around people use Minor Illusion to mimic his voice saying lewd or embarassing things.
Use Dominate Person to make him shave his own beard off, or Suggestion.
Use Shape Water to turn his drinks to ice whenever he tries to take a sip or prestidigitation to make it taste horrible.
Use Silent Image or Major Image to make a naked version of him run down a populated street.
Use Tiny Servant or Animate Objects to animate his belongings and have them always running away from him.
Have an Unseen Servant follow him and tickle him constantly.
...
All I got at the moment.
Wizards are the ultimate pranksters.

Like they peed or crapped themselves. The cantrip allows you to "soil" things, which can mean to make dirty. Soiling is also a reference to pooping yer pants. You can't make actual turdlings make you can make the stains - and smell.

Command (1st) is also a good choice (defecate, urinate, fart, or belch in any social setting).
I think I disagree about the shaving. Hypnotic Gaze is the capital A Action. In addition, you can still interact with an object every turn such as a razor. This seems like the very thing it is designed for. Keep in mind though, he's both Incapacitated and Charmed. Sure you can shave him but you can also try to have him give you permission and tell you all his secrets along the way. Just don't knick him!
If your DM doesn't like that interpretation, Unseen Servant (1st ritual) makes a great barber while your gaze keeps him occupied. Or just general harassment; drinks spill, shoelaces tied together every morning, mud in bedroll.
Changing the flavor of everything he eats or cooks for others with Prestidigitation (cantrip) is also fun.

No, because it takes your action to use and maintain Hypnotic Gaze.
You could use the spell Hold Person though.
What level is your Wizard?

Ok. Thought that was what it meant. Good ideas, especially as you have included cantrips and spells of all levels.
