At last, doubling my shaves!
When I started shaving with the immensely cheap Gillette Fusion Five Blade Magic Ribbons Built-In Lubricant and Backside Trimmer, I maybe shaved once a week. Over the years, it went to once every three days. When I started out straight shaving one and a half years ago, I cut it to every other day. And last week, at 23 years and 4 months and a week or so, I finally reached the point in puberty where the hairs are ready to be chopped daily!
I'm so happy. Double the shaves, double the fun Now for doubling the amount of razors...Last edited by Laurens; 11-02-2013 at 08:39 PM.

I'm 50, and while I could get barely away with shaving other day with the cartridges, with the straight, if I do my usual two passes, sometimes three...I'm literally good for two days.
Now if I wanted to get that military shaven look, it would be every day for sure...couple of members here have undertaken the shave every day thing...maybe one day I'll given that a try!!

Ah, Phrank, I'm not ex military, no longer in the work force, generally a semi-Luddite, semi-hermit, semi-anything BUT I shave everyday because I would be denied the pleasure, shear pleasure, of trying out a different razor in my rotation everyday otherwise. I love the ritual and concentration needed. It sets my mind and my day. (and at my age I need to remember each and every one of them)

Congratulations Laurens, now you are a proper man. And it's good that you like shaving because soon you will sprout hairs in all sorts of odd locations, I had the pleasure of shaving my shoulders that other day. And my ears have quite a crop too, but I am not doing them with a straight.
