Thread: Lazy Shavers

spent most of my career in the oil patch , last 20 years was all about safety so you shave every day so you can wear the SCBA,s when sour gas is around. that said I grow a Van Dyke and I still shave every day , I have always shaved every day so its habit and I always liked being groomed before leaving the house but that's me tc

Why are you lazy? If once a week serves your purpose it is a waste of time to do it more.

all the jobs I've had, I've never been required to shave like CEO's, Lawyers, or people who are in meetings all day, etc, etc. but shaving with a straight razor is badass period...so...shaving more often, is badass more often.

just askin.

The only reasonable reason I can think of to shave every day is to wear safety equipment like SCBA's. The rest in my opinion started as a status symbol that I am rich and can afford a slave to shave me every day. Or to hide the fact that they can't grow a decent beard.

Gotta shave everyday! Job and the beard grows to fast.

Spent most of my life in the military rarely taking more than a weekend off from shaving. Now that I'm retired from active duty, I still can't stand to go more than a few days. I guess it's just a habit now.

Have to shave 5 days a week for work. Prior to using a straight, I never shaved on my days off and maybe once if on vacation. Now, it's a three pass shave everyday. On vacation this week and still have not missed a day.

If once a week works for you, that's great. For me, my shave is an enjoyable "David time" with no distractions or anything else on my mind.

I usually shave twice a week... Wed or Thurs night... then again on Sun night. I have lighter colored hair, and some of that has turned gray, so I find it easy to get away with it.

Like 'tcrideshd', my work also requires me to be clean shaven. Always in B/A, being in the oilfield & firefighting, I can get away with shaving every 2 days, which is usually what I do.

I chuckle as I think of this. I am not a factory, refinery, fireman, etc. "peon" I should grow a beard so I can prove I don't have to take any risk to do my job.
