    Default Just How Much Do You Love To Shave?

    Do you love shaving so much that, given the choice, you'd prefer that men's beards grew fast enough so that it would be normal to have to shave twice a day?

    Hmm...if it could hold off and only grow faster on the weekends, that'd be mighty considerate.

    I actually have a beard that grows fast enough that I could almost shave twice a day, but once is enough. Sometimes if I shave really early in the morning and have to go out at night I will make a quick N->S pass.

    So long as my skin recovered more quickly, I wouldn't mind my beard growing faster.

    Basically I hate shaving, but I hate straight razor shaving less than any other way of shaving. Straight shaving gives me the satisfaction of choosing my own tool and honing it to my own liking.

    DE shaves and electric shaves give me crap results, cartrigde shaves reasonable results, straight shaves give me near perfect results.

    I'm at the service so i have to shave every day. Daily shaving has became sort of automatic reaction from almost 30 years of shaving.
    I use DE at work, so when at home, why not do it the comfortable and nice way and use straights?
    And no, my beard grows quite fast but i wouldn't shave twice a day.

    I'm satisfied with once a day. Too much of a good thing is not necessarily good at all IME.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I use Rogaine as an aftershave daily. I now have so much facial hair I need to shave every 30 minutes.

    It's wonderful!

    Shaving once every weekday is enough. If I'm not going somewhere where I need to be smart and presentable, I sometimes skip shaving at the weekend.

    Not much, it's just shaving. I have a life out there somewhere.
