How often do you guys shave? Daily? Every two? I am currently a DE shaver but I just got a straight and will try it out Saturday. I often get a very good shave on 3 or 4 days growth. If I go two days and then shave my face gets really irritated. Hopefully this will pass with using a straight.
Same here, i tend to shave every three days but i find also if i shave every 2 days, my skin will be more tender when i do. 3 to 4 is where it works for me.
Well I am glad to hear it's not just me. I get a really smooth shave after a few days but even then you can still see my beard lines. I have very think beard.Quote:

Every day shaver here. I just don't feel right if I skip a day.

I shave daily, Monday to Friday. On the weekends, it depends. Sometimes not at all, sometimes on one of the days and sometimes both on Saturday and Sunday (depending if and how much new shave gear I want to test...)
I shave every day during the week. I feel dirty if I don't...On the weekend I like to wait until Sunday afternoon for my big day shave. That is when I break out all the fufu stuff and really enjoy the shave.
I tend to shave every day. 3 passes. On rare occasion I will skip a day on the weekend then I have a very long drawn out shave the next day.

Every day for me. I enjoy it too much to miss a day.
I really want to shave everyday, but I've come to realize that with both DE's and straights that it's not as fun for me if I don't leave my beard to grow for at least 2 days. First, I'm more likely to get irritation if I don't (not always, but usually). Second, it's just more fun to have a greyish face from all the hair (3-4 days of growth) and to then shave off all the hair and have a clean face. It's a nice experienceQuote:

I assume that will go away as my technique improves.
I shave every 36 hours - if I shave on Monday morning then I shave again on Tuesday night and so on. It's the perfect balance for me - if I shave more often I get irritation and if I wait longer then I get irritated.
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:)
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.
Hi,
Three (3) pass shave every day; if I miss my daily shave I start pining :)
Have fun !
Best regards

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

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.

Ack!!! A Bic single? I've never been able to use one of those. it just drags across my face.Quote:

I use the same lather as I do with straight and it works out well. My old M3 or others, now just clog up and I end up cutting my face.Quote:

Ladies and gentlemen:
I shave every day. I love the ritual of traditional and straight razor shaving too much to start my day without it.
