I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but I would assume most of you shave in the morning, before work. I, myself, do not. The fact is I don't wanna be rushed, I like to take my time and I don't like getting up any earlier than I have to.
So what's your take? Am I in the minorty here? Please take a side and explain. Looking forward to your responses.
I almost always shave in the afternoon, or evening... Then I'm more relaxed. In the morning I'm too wound up...
In the morning before work for me - usually around 5:30am as it takes a while to get to work from my house.
On weekends I tend to shave later, but still in the AM - I like to face the day clean shaven.

AM for me, The Army is funny about wanting you clean shaven in the morning.
........pm!
Sometimes both but always morning. The required concentration and the clean-shaven feeling help wake me up
SWMBO has a pretty big morning bathroom routine and we have only one bathroom currently soooo.....Evening it is for me.:rolleyes:
always AM unless I have and evening engagement then will touch up in the evening
Always PM... Unless there is a weeding or some other sort of "requirement"...
I am looking forward to the grand reopening tomorrow Don....hope all goes well.Quote:

I always shave at night. Right after I put the kids to bed, I take a shower and shave. For me, it's the transition time from work time to leisure time.
Hell what was I thinking as fast as the hair will grow
In the morning, as that's when I shower. It's a nice wake-up supplement to the coffee. But using a straight razor, I really could shave at night and be clean-shaven all day long--something that really wasn't possible with cartridge razors!

At night. It's become a regular routine with my son before bedtime.
I try to do as little as possible in the morning. Night time all the way for me!!!
I shower when I get off work, kind of a necessity, then I shave right after. Thats in the P.M. but usually late afternoon or early evening not night.
I shave after my evening shower, I like to go to bed clean and well shaven... the missus doesn't seem to mind either! :D
My beard doesn't grow all that fast so I find myself going 2 days between shaves if the razor is up to snuff... 1 day if it's a touch dull and doesn't shave quite as close as normal.

Wow surprising. I always take my shower in the morning and thus shave after that. I'm quite new to using a straight and honestly I hadn't really considered trying it at night. I think I will give it a go, because I do find myself getting a little frustrated when it takes so long. Knowing that I don't have to rush it or get it perfect should make things easier.
PM PM PM...
Only in AM when it is absolutely necessary. Insomniac would be my middle name if Byron weren't....
i have a hard time getting to bed at a normal hour.. for example right now.. 2:19 am.. i unwind with my shave, and in the am take a quick 5 min shower and go go go go.
but it really does help me to relax and sleep better.
and off to bed i go.
With my current night-job, I often shave after coming home from work (and a much needed shower.) Very relaxing after that :cenjob!
On weekends, I'll come out of vampire-mode and shave in the morning so I can have some semblence of a social life!:)
What an interesting question... I never really considered it. I just shave whenever I think I need to, without thinking of the time. I guess it usually falls into the PM though.
I always shave in the morning. I have a very precise routine and a very comprehensive wife... early morning tea while I prepare my weapons, then shower, then shaving (I never shave during my shower).
It is the best way for me to start a day.
I prefer to shave at night during the week because there is less time pressure and also, since I am still learning, it will allow my face time to heal (any cuts or burn) for several hours before I need to go to work. The downside is I sleep through many of those initial smoooooth hours, so on the weekends I prefer to shave in the morning and enjoy as much of the smooooothness as I can.
I try to shave every 1.5 days. This morning, tomorrow night, etc.
I shower and shave at night. My wife won't let me shave when my boys are awake because we are afraid that they will try to imitate me.
Although....one day when I can shave without getting razor burn or those ugly red bumps...at that time I will shave only in the morning...
I usually shave in the morning.
Straight Razor in the morning after a shower,
Followed by,
DE Razor after a shower before dinner.

Mean, Clean, and Well Shaven.:D
I shave in the evening normally the night before I have to work. I have to be at work at 5am which means a 330am rise if I'm going to shave in the morning. I'm in the military - navy - but I still have a better shave than the other guys I work with if I do a 2 pass shave the night before I have to work.
Last thing before I retire to bed at night... shower and shave.
I sleep better clean shaven and the BBS usually lasts till next evening
I tend to shave in the evenings, but sometimes that is just before bed and sometimes its to get ready for work.

My first shave was done in the afternoon (around 2pm) last week.
Last night, I shaved again in the evening, before bed.
My schedule bounces around a lot, so I don't always have a set time when I would normally shower or shave.
