How often do you shave?

**PigHog** · 12-21-2014, 04:02 PM

Tuesday and Saturday evenings.

I can never get up early enough to shave in the morning and I'm busy on most weekday evenings. I could probably fit in quick shaves but I don't like it—I prefer to rally and take my time.

I could potentially shave on Friday and Sunday, too but I like to keep a balanced regime...

Ideally I shave every third day

Every day because I like the ritual. Some days I even use two razors..one for each side of my face.

The same.

Shaving is "me" time. It is when I indulge myself with all the things Bob also enjoys.

We wish you a speedy recovery and the return to our brotherhood.

Dude you got issues. Good issues .
Me Every other to third day. I go for 3pass BBS . Takes that length of time to grow any amount of shaveable hair for me.

Depends on hair growth/how close the last shave was, how much razor burn I gave myself, and if I have some other reason to shave. If the shave was close, it will be 2-3 days before I have enough growth to be worthwhile. If razor burnt, 3 days, maybe 4. But if I have a razor inbound and it happens to arrive on an off day, I won't be able to resist the urge to prep it and put it to use that day.

Every other day unless I need to polish up for something.

Hey JTmke - great poll.

When I read the question, I was already thinking arg, I'll have to answer thinking in the aggregate. But you spared me with the "When I want to or need to shave." Which is about as accurate a statement as there can be when describing my shaving habits.

Sometimes it's every day - other times its...

The vast majority of my adult life I shaved everyday. When the Mach 3 came out at least shortly thereafter, the blade/shave quality, I felt was greatly diminished and I loathed shaving although I continued to shave every day. A few years ago, before straight shaving, I began to shave every other day and with straight shaving generally the same. The last year or so I have reduced that to a couple times a week, mostly because I really get a kick out of mowing down more growth. I'm constantly amazed for one reason or another that a straight is so capable. Way too much fun

Everyday - but it's not like the Army gives us a choice.
