    Daily. Unless its my weekend and im too busy.
    When i started with a straight it was every day. I found i had irritation often. Then i started shaving every two days. It helped a lot. I found shaving two days growth was much more satisfying and it was so much easier on my face.
    Then about a year ago i deciede that my razors are so smooth now as my honing has gotten so much better, and the fact that ive learned how to properly shave, i started every day shaving. Unless im too busy. I enjoy it more and have no issues.
    My wife thinks that my whiskers are growing faster. I couldnt agree but maybe. I am over 50 so i dont think its a case of puberty again. Lol.

    Every day.

    A missed shave is a shave that you can never get back!

    Every day or two is what keeps me looking well groomed. I shave in the evening and some eve
    Nings there is a lot going on. I have not been able to shave for over two weeks because of a hand injury and I got want to learn to shave with one hand while my one hand is in a splint. I am seriously looking forward to Wednesday nights shave.

    On the average every 3 days. It was every other day when I still worked.

    Before retirement every day, now it’s when I feel like it and I’ve taken to only shaving my neck , beard coming out, grow a pony tail and become ZZ Top

    Before retirement, I shaved every workday, but would skip the days off along with any vacation times. I always grew a full beard during vacations and at the end play with trimming different styles of beards as beards weren't allowed by the company I worked for.

    I found that I liked the goatee style so when I retired that's what I sport.

    Since retiring I've come to only shave every few days or just for shites and giggles.

    TC! You've got plenty of time to grow that pony tail before the 2021 TX Meet--then I won't be the only 'Hippie' there--

    Once every 3 days, give or take. Over the road trucker, I just don't get the chance to get a good shave every day. Hence, the practice in the truck.

    Looks like 2022 now and yes, I’ve spent years being the oilfield hand, but my roots are old school biker so that’s what I am, sitting out front smoking a cigar or maybe something a little more 1970 style and sipping my bourbon. Me and you are just 2old hippies. Plus my part time job doesn’t care how much hair I grow!

    And by the way truckers have more time to shave than I did so that’s no excuse. Just do it. I’m going old hippie but got to trim the neck and lines.

    Hey mountain man you hearing this? Next time we meet we,ll be the same!
