Thread: Lightbulb moment! Beard length

It obviously has to do with your face and your beard growth and thickness. If I skip a day, it takes two WTG passes to get to the good stuff, and even approach smoothness, no matter how shave ready my SR is.

I dunno, everyone's facial seems to grow at different rates. I can only get 10-12 hrs before I feel there is enough stubble to warrant a shave. I rise early around 0500 and shave. Late afternoon I feel some stubble showing and sometimes do shave again. My stubble is never very long and the shaves are smooth. I can't see waiting 2 days and getting a smoother shave but have never tried it. I am thinking if the blade is up to snuff it should not matter. I am thinking it does not take much for the blade to be off a bit. OTH whatever works for the individual.

My point there Bob. I could shave twice a day if the feeling ever took root in my feeble mind. As it is, with my crazy work schedule, I only have the weekends to shave and by then it is thick.

Yea, just saying I feel the same about stubble length effecting the smoothness or lack of it during a shave.

I used to shave every day. I didn't mind it and would get great shaves. Then one day I had not been able to shave and the next time I was able to was on the third day. It was an absolute glorious shave. I had done nothing different except for having three days growth. I don't know why but I suspect that more hair can absorb more water. Also I believe that the longer hair is more flexible and doesn't cause such a stiff feeling of the blade going through stiff hair. If I go 7 days it's even better. I don't get it but try it if your skeptical. I now never shave daily.
