    When I first started, I alternated the straight with a DE and I usually skipped the weekends completely. But now I shave every day, even on weekends and I try to use a straight as much as possible. I only use the DE on days when I'm in a rush, usually coz I overslept..!

    I shave everyday. Almost always at night. Being blonde, that's all I need to look decent the following workday.

    The first month it was to much for my skin. It got irritated and felt sore.
    But now, I feel dirty if I don't shave every day.
    Or perhaps it's just that I really enjoy it so damn much

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    I wonder if I shaved every day if my face would be a little less sore. When I get a really good shave there is often very little stubble the next day. It's the second day if feels very prickly and tender to shave. Well I guess I will just have to see how it works out with the straight.

    I shave every day, and would shave twice a day if I could - I love the challange!

    I alternate between a DE and my str8. But the funny thing is, it takes me almost as long to DE shave as str8 shave, I just need less faculties about me when I do it - much safer, not much faster

    It takes me forever to shave with the DE. At least a good 15-20 minutes.

    I shave with a straight on Monday night's, Wends or Thurs night's, and then sometimes on Saturday morning/afternoon. Then if I need to I will shave on Tues or Friday with my disposible (bic single blade).


    I just need the extra time either at night or on the weekend...as I get better I think that it will take less time unless I want to enjoy a slow relaxing shave.
