Thread: Moonlight vs Sunlight?

I shave at night during the week. If I happen to get the weekend, or any other day off, then I have a good ol' morning shave. The shaves after the shower are always the smoothest though.

I always shave in the morning. From my first shave with disposables, then cartridges, then DE, then shavette, and now a SR, my shave routine has always been for the morning. I have noticed that my morning routine takes longer now that I'm using a SR, but it's time well spent.

I have always shaved in the evening right after my shower.

Ya know, that is something I've never done with any razor... Shaving in the shower... Or, after a shower... I guess I've always depended so heavily on a mirror that it never worked in my head. I have read so many posts and heard so many stories about it but just never have done it. Gonna have to switch my routine up sometime and give it a shot!

I don't recommend you take your cut-throat razor into the shower with you. If you drop it, you might lop it so to speak. You'll know what I mean when you look straight down when your undressed for the shower.

@ MickR... Roger that! I was thinking about just shaving with my normal routine but 'after' a shower. Yeah, a wet steamy environment, wet hands and a lethally sharp instrument held precariously above my other instrument would not a fun time make! I imagine the greater risk would be to my hands as I'd be compelled to save the razor from certain death, but, there is just no way I could see that turning out well either way. ;-)

I used to shave in the evening during the week and mornings on weekends but last summer I switched and now I shave in the mornings during the week and weekends can go either way.
I do kinda miss the regular evening shaves but I don't plan on switching back any time soon

When I started using a straight, I shaved in the evening because it took a long time compared to the "zip zip" of a cartridge razor. Over time, as I became more skilled and comfortable using a straight, it took less time to shave, so I returned to a morning routine.
