Thread: How often do you shave?

Every day for as long as I can remember unless I grew a beard. The only thing is that since I started wet shaving, now it's a pleasure
Pete <:-}

Every other day but many times I go three days between shaves.

I generally take weekends off but sometimes treat myself to an extra long and careful stave to sharpen up the lines of my mustache and soul patch on Sunday. Switching from DE to straights soon and I can see this changing to everyday.

every day, before work and on weekends around same time.

I actually shave a little less frequently than before I got into straight shaving. I used to shave every other day but now it's more like twice per week. I keep sideburns and a little bit around the food-catcher so the contrast allows me to look relatively maintained even a couple days in. It's also a bit like cheating since I don't have to do the more complex portions of my face.
I use a straight whenever possible, the DE if I'm in a little bit of a hurry (or not feeling alert), but I keep a spare BIC around for the truly rush job in the shower.
In general, I never shave more frequently than every other day due to irritation on my neck. I could probably do single pass shaves and reduce the irritation but then it would be less close so it's not really a good trade.

I am the same as Major. This away leadership like Major doesn't have to correct me....lol. I am just a lonely old E-6.

Everyday, I would shave twice a day if my skin wasn't sensitive.

Typically I shave every other day as one day growth for me is not enough to shave. I tend to go three days in the winter as I am outside for work daily. However I don't go more than four days as it drives me crazy. Sensitive skin an working in the weather makes shaving daily a bit skin irritating.

Every 2-3 days for me. But this time of year I grow a bit of a beard for the outside work I do. So I keep my neck clean and thats' it.

I shave every other day during the week, and whenever I feel like it when I am off. The difference now is that I actually look forward to shaving instead of viewing it as a chore.
