Surely must be the wait for when your beard grows back to a shave-able length again. I just got some new soap too!!

Yup! How many hobbies limit you to practice for only 30 minutes a day? You spend a quite hour cleaning, polishing, honing, creating, but can't use it in practice until go time. I think I am going to take up brush making so I have an excuse to create lather :p
Got any pets? Surely their squirming will give you good practice.
I hear you Andrew... For a while I was shaving daily just to be able to practice, but I find it more rewarding to allow 2-3 days growth to shave... feels more rewarding to remove a facefull of stubble than simply shaving a face that almost looks clean-shaven. Plus, I don't need to shave for work, so every 2-3 days is nicer to the skin.
Yup - not being able to shave more, too many soaps, and the fact that it's hard to justify doing more than a 4-pass shave...sometimes I think of getting a custom 9/8 blade made with a length of 1" - time for a 50 pass shave! :rock:
I wish I could wait.Quote:

I'm just the opposite. If I skip a day, the next shave is a pain, so I never let it go more than 36 hours!
Shaving is the worst thing about shaving. This may sound weird, but I started shaving with a straight razor for three reasons.
1. I was getting tired of the razor burn i always got around my neck.
2. I was fed up with paying $20 a month for disposables.
The next could be shocking...
3. I hated shaving.
My friend who is a barber told me I could get more time between shaves using a straight razor so i figured I'd go for it. There were a few years where my wife was pregnant with our first then second child and was so against it because she thought she would find me bleeding out at the sink i just gave her the peace of mind and used a disposable. Then got back into it a few years ago and haven't bought a disposable since.
I'm with him I hate shaving though shaving with a straight razor makes it fun and all the different soaps keep it fun in changing up the routine but in truth I diss like it the wife hates facial hair and you know the old saying happy wife happy life
Like I've said before for guys with a serious cace of "Iwannashaveallthetimeitis" there is the mock shave routine. You get a razor without an edge and then you can indulge whenever you feel the urge.
Lol so trie
Good point.Quote:

From previous threads, I know I'm not the only one who will find time on non-shave days to chase the perfect lather with a new soap.
Funny. I read the title an said to myself "hair doesn't grow fast enough".... Agreed! The wait to get to shave again is the worst.
Singe pass shave in morning before work. Single pass in the afternoon. Single pass before bed. Two pass before date/evening with SWMBO
Problem solved
Dry the mess after i'm finish.
Man I just started and I just can't wait everyday to shave again does it ever quit lol
