Thread: shaving at night

Retired.....

So I have all the time I need.
Get up at 6am, shave around 9am after shower.
This is the time of the day I enjoy most. Alone in the house, turn TV "Off", turn sound system "On", listen to good music, take my time, all the time I need to get the job well done. After I razorbate my face a bit and I,m ready for the rest of the day.

I shave at night simply out of convenience - my wife and I share only one bathroom, we work at the same time so we compete for the bathroom resources. Also, I have a problem getting up the morning as it is, I don't particularly want to get up any earlier to shave - a time of day I dislike to begin with - why ruin a good shave rushing and being half asleep so as to not enjoy the experience.

In the evening, I have all the time in the world and use that time to relax. I'm left alone as my wife watches television shows I dislike, I put on some music, and take my sweet time. Nobody bothers me, and I can do as many passes as I wish...who could ask for anything more!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I wake
up before my wife (we both go to work at the
same time) to have a relaxed and luxurious
shower and a shave. Nothing starts the day off
right like a straight razor shave.

I hate shaving in the morning at the moment - I get up at 5ish and it's too cold and blurry to shave. I cannot deal with a shave before the sun has come up so I tend to go for the evenings - it's safer and more relaxing plus I don't have the whole house knocking on the bathroom door!(Why! I only take 10 minutes to shave and they spend 25 just in the shower!)

At the moment I find it easier to shave in the evening, partly because I'm to tired in the morning to shave before work and I just love to stay in bed as long as possible in the morning.

I am NOT a morning person so I usually shave at night. Like everyone else said, it gives me time to concentrate but also relax and enjoy the process.

One more here almost always at night - in order to extract maximal satisfaction It is like a free therapy for me... well, it's not free, unfortunately - wonder if the health insurance will cover something say co-pay $10 / ebay razor, 1 new custom free every year for RAD-preventing, etc.

Lately I can be quick if I need to (like before going out) but this detracts from the experience for me

Night shaver here too with the exception of my weekends...I work the Graveyard Shift so night is my morning. My weekends, I usually shave around 0800-0900 hrs. or so...

I shave in the morning.

Now, I am not a morning person by any stretch of imagination. And I have a lot of reason to shave at night. However, I just notice that my skin feels different in the morning. It's more tight. I get better results and less irritation. I'm too lazy to shave in the morning on Sat so I do it around 5 - 6pm and I always get worse results. Always.

Plus, not being a morning person, I find that morning shower and a shave wakes me up and gives me more energy during the day. For years I used to shower at night and shave in the morning with canned good/multiblade in 1 min. Now, I need to wake up at least 30 min earlier to complete my routine but I usually end up more awake and energized.
