Thanked: 586I don't like shaving at all. If I shave twice in a given week, I have spent too much time shaving. I shave with a straight only because I like sharp tools and weapons. I don't think it is any better than shaving with a disposable cartridge thing. In fact, it is much more effort and I doubt the results are good enough to be "worth the effort". I simply enjoy the care and feeding of the razor. I do the same restorative work on hatchets.

Thanked: 431'Oh, let me count the ways.' I do love / enjoy shaving to the degree that I have wished that very thing. And there are a few fellas fortunate enough (IMPO) to be able to do so, of course not being in their shoes so to speak I suppose that they may not always consider it a blessing. Plus I have sensitive skin, but usually shave everyday, and my skin probly would not stand up to it more than once a day, once a day is pretty much all that my skin will take.

I love shaving so much I built a time machine so after I finish I can start all over again. Har Har.

Thanked: 259i love to shave with straights
..i do not know if i could twice a day though..
up until recently i could shave everyday(once) but my skin has either gotten more sensitive of my honing is getting better(as in extremely sharp and taking off a bigger layer of skin). i still would hate to go back to disposables and canned junk. i have too much fun making my own soaps and buying new straights and honing them up and getting a great shave(course sometimes i find a really tough razor to get perfect)

Once every other day is good with me. Though if I had to be baby faced, that would be a twice daily thing. I would not go along with that, though I do like shaving.

My facial hair doesnt grow enough for me to have to shave once a day, or once a month for the matter. Than again I'm 15 and just having fun with my straight razor

Thanked: 431On Jan.1st I came home about 1 a.m. and (I don't drink, so that was not part of the event) I spent about 20 minutes going over most of my wiskers with about 4 different shave ready razors, completely dry no water or anything, some of the razors I would strop and some I wouldn't, a little on this side with one and a little over here with another, just one pass for the most part WTG and a little XTG. I hadn't quite gotten the result that I wanted on the 31st and was just kind of obsessing about the stubble. Then still without any water or anything I did a rub over with the Ogallala Bay Rum AS and finally went to bed.
