Thread: shaving at night

Night time in the big city.
A man sits at an old dining table.
His kids and wife are fast asleep.
An old Tom Waits record buzzes softly through the night.
The coffeepot quietly whistles.
The man is honing his razor.
He is king in his empire...

Yeah...
I too like to shave at night...

I too shave at night. I find shaving after work to be a huge stress reliever. I can come home and have the house quiet and not have to worry about rushing. My face is presentable the entire next day as well. However, I do find that both a WTG and ATG pass are necessary when shaving at night. Just my thoughts.

Observe that tons of us straight shavers tend to do our shaving at night. But all the "normal" disposable and electric shavers I've talked to have never even considered shaving at night.

Do straight shaves just last that much longer (yes) or do they just require more concentration (yes)?

+1 for everything that's been said for shaving at night. And yes, I find the shave is so much closer than the Mach3 that the next morning it's still BBS.

As for the other question, I find going 3 days between shaves is optimal Unfortunately, I usually resort to every other day. But every weekend I let it go three days and the shave is fantastic on the 3rd day!
