Thread: How to manage wait

FYI,

I did manage to soap up, then just rinse without shaving a couple of days ago - this was hard, but to me it was worth it.

Cheers

I just make shaving a part of my morning routine. Then I keep myself too busy throughout the day. The weekend roadtrip was hard on me though. Only one shave in 3 days

wow. I only shave once every several days anyway (unless required by consequent business meetings) - before it was laziness, now it's waiting for the nicks to heal and the hairs to grow long enough for a good, comfortable, *burn-free* shave. Starting to enjoy straight shaving so when I improve, the waiting period might be shortened

I shave at night. We have 2 bathrooms but I still prefer to do it when I can relax and enjoy it the most. And it takes me a good hour or so - can't think of giving up this time in the morning

Just wait a few months...I can get an excellent quick 7 minute no nick or cut straight shave including prep and cleanup..I dont like rushing, but when I have too I'll do it just so I never have to shave with anything but a straight.

This should improve rapidly. When I first started it took 45 mins or so, so I used the DE on weekdays and the straight on the weekends. Then I used the Feather AC on weekdays and the straight on weekends, then I finally got quick enough to do a 15 min shave (prep, shave, and cleanup) which is only a few minutes more than the DE, so I switched to the straight full-time. I did one once in 7, but I didn't enjoy it.
