I've long said here at SRP that a shave is closer and smoother after 2 or 3 days. Maybe more, but by then your whiskers are so long that your razor really has its work cut out for it.

Haha, I hear you there, man! Those days before a baby and a wife (both tend to dictate your shaving schedule) seem to be fading from my memory very quickly.

Me too. My skin is too sensitive to be shaved everyday.
Also, I've started to shave with only 1 pass plus touch-ups, thus reducing the burn. The result is a DFS.
After years of straight shaving I think I found what works for me.
