Lazy Whiskers: A blessing or a curse?

My whisker growth is so slow that the most I can possibly shave is once every two days and even then, I don't have much growth. Really, I don't "need" to shave until three days have gone by.

When I used to shave with a plastic piece-of-crap, I LOVED my lazy whiskers because I hated shaving. Now that I wet shave with a 6/8 Kamisori, shaving is the highlight of my day and I can't get enough. But, as much as I wanna go in the bathroom right now and heat up my scuttle, I don't have anything to shave.

Anyone else have lazy whiskers?

How old are you? I only ask because whisker growth can be slower in younger men but increases in the twenties. If you already are past your twenties, maybe you could start shaving your legs? :w

I'm sort of in that category now. My facial hair is now grey (almost white) so when I get a really close shave I hardly need to shave the next day or at least it's harder to see that I need to shave.

When I use a DE to shave I do it every day but when I'm in a straight razor phase I do it every other day usually. For whatever reason, when I shave with a straight razor I like for there to be a little more growth before I shave.

well then your young, or kinda lucky, I have to shave everyday, straight or DE, sometimes that sucks, I enjoy using a straight but its still shaving,, id like to go a few days in between, as I was retired I would go a couple days but I,m so used to being clean shaven for my old job that I just don't like being scraggly. now I did let the Van dyke grow long ,, go figure Tc

took me into my late thirties before i had sufficient beard growth to shave every other day. even now growing a beard would be slow and splotchy. with light colored hair (grey) and a job that doesn't require looking neat i could get by with every three days but choose to do every two. i tell my SWMBO "you got to mow it if you want to grow it".
