Thread: What time of day to shave?

Hey all! Just woke up and decided to shake things up a bit. I'm usually a night shower/shaver. Last night I was just a bit too tired and not too funky so I thought I'd push it out till morning. I got up right at the alarm as opposed to after a snooze or two and had my shower and a nice shave. I feel super refreshed!!! I am ready to take on the day now Gents! What do you say? When is your favorite time of day to have your shave and shower??

I have always shaved right out of the shower. If I shower in the evening, by morning I'm already a little funky, and need another shave. So I almost always shower and shave in the morning. If I'm in for a morning of yard work or something, I might hold off on my shower till the afternoon, so I shave then.

Sunday to Thursday, morning shave,
Friday, evening shave
Saturday, no shave.

I'm a night time shaver.

My wife allows me to splurge on all this stuff so I like to shave at night, lay in bed, and have her enjoy the great manly smell that radiates off of me. She loves smelling my face so I feel its cheating her if I shave in the morning for others to enjoy my aroma.

I shave super diligently twice a week at some point in time. Usually.

During the week I get up far to early to shave so its always in the evening. But on the weekend its a morning or early afternoon shave.

I have been able to determine so far in the experience that i can shave with coffee or with beer. Probably getting the better shaves with coffee (the ones that make it pointless to shave again in 24hrs) . But i won't rush. If i don't have time for 2.5 passes, then I won't shave.

And I do give myself a better shave on 36-48hrs of stubble. Theory: longer stubble overlaps more, putting more hairs on the edge at one time, giving better "bite" as well as feedback, and easier to see for touchup. Also that the skin has had more recovery time.

Evening shave in a rush got me a little nick yesterday (no pics, remember--rush). But it was a good conversation starter last night-had several folks interested in the SR at our gathering...

after someone noticed me bleeding!!!

I usually shave in the evening, just because its cooler here, and my skin prefers cool rather than hot shave / hot post shave environment.

I occasionally like a morning shave if I'm not going to work (I work physically) and do like the buzz of a morning shave especially with Proraso free or similar.

As long as I shave I'm happy

Do not work anymore,guess I am retired.I shave when my wife tells me I look like a derilect street person.
Go sometimes a couple weeks

I am an early riser too which is why I am a night groomer, but I am thinking of making the switch to morning permanent after how invigorated felt this morning.
