Thread: Shave frequency

I was wondering how often you guys shave. I shave every two or three days.
Thank you

Every 4 to 5. If I shave before 4 days or so, I get really bad razor burn. Go figure.

I have a lot of blond and gray in my beard, though, so I never really look scruffy that quickly.

Every day shaver

Every day unless ill or possibly dead.

Same frequency here, and the longer I go between shaves the better results I get. Too bad I’m not that patient though.

Not possible to shave every day! If I shave, than I take my time and the shave is so efficient, that you barely can feel some stubbles coming up the next day, you won't see anything until day two. So for a following really efficient and comfortable shave it takes at least three days.

Agreed - I've been using a DE a couple of times the last few months, and later that day, can feel the stubble.

With a straight, a good 3 pass shave, skin feels sublime after, nothing appears on my face for two days but the start of some stubble.

Can't compare the shave of a straight in my opinion, nothing like it.

Interestingly, 7 years later, I was having a shave, and the thought occurred to me how cool it was to have developed and learned the skill to shave with a straight razor. It's still something you don't hear about often, maybe it's just the time factor and that I take it for granted now, but looking in the mirror, holding a large "cut throat" razor, made me think that, what a cool skill to have! :-)

Daily. No matter how close my shave or how many passes, I still look like Homer Simpson the next day.

Every two days.

I can get away with a straight razor shave every two days. If I shave in the morning, I can start to feel the stubble the next afternoon. When I choose not to rush in the morning, I shave the night before and feel good for the next 18 hours.
