    When I started I shaved with a straight at night. Just a WTG. Then in the morning I cleaned up with a multiblade. As I got better with the straight I added in XTG and ATG at night and a morning cleanup with a DE. Finally I didn't need the morning clean up so I switched back to straight shaving in the morning. After about a week of morning shaving, I switched back to night shaving. It is how I unwind before bed. And with a 3 pass straight shave at night I don't get a five o'clock shadow until about 6pm the next day (and have black hair).

    Ultimately, find what works for you and do it.
