Thread: Skipping a day or 2 between shaves

With the straight I don't have to shave 2x in a day ever.

Pulling is noticeable for me after about maybe 3 days growth. As I have said before not much hair growth over full face, though I do still shave everyday or ever other.

I find it evens out for me pretty much.
Every day makes for easier shaves so there's an irritation/healing tradeoff.
I've gotten to the point where the straights are much kinder to my face than DE blades, I sometimes shave twice in the same day with a straight. (morning then evenning before going out).

Oh so true; I remember I grew a full beard and then decided to take it off. Wow did that mock3 pull the shit out of my face. I also learned to never go two days without a shave or pull city. Now the only reason I don't let it grow is I love to use my straight.....

Dammm I am impressed - Do you have a forest on your face. A morning shave does me fine until the next AM

I still get the sandpaper feel if my cheek's rubbed cross-grain, sometimes, if my morning shave is ~7am and I'm going somewhere 10-11pm.
2x a day is not my daily routine, mind you.
Does make my face feel good

I concur, sometimes in the night before I go out, I will do a quick 1 pass, so it will be nice for the ladies in the evening. And I am not meaning ladies of the night gentlemen.

Why? Don't they want smooth cheeks too?
