Daily Shave?
I was wondering if most of the people here shave with a strait everyday before work or what ever. And if so do you do a one pass, or multi-pass?
Also how long does it take you to shave in the morning?
I personally rarely shave in the morning because, well I hate waking up, I will sleep every last minute I can afford before class or work.

I usually shave everyday, two passes WTG - I am still not very comfortable with an ATG pass with the straight but if I need a very clean shave I use my DE for an ATG third pass.
It usually takes me about 30 minutes (if I need to go faster, I strop the previous evening - linen and leather).

Every day and it usually takes me 20-30 minutes depending on the razor, the prep, how long it takes to whip up the lather and how tired I am

Every other day, in the evening after a bath or shower. Sometimes every 3 days.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

Every evening, that way there's (usually) no hurry.

I try to every day, due to the coarseness of my beard. I miss days if I have a cut that needs to be left alone or if I just don't have the time- I normally take about 20 mins.

I shave every morning. I take a shower, do 2 passes on my face (WTG, ATG) with a straight, and then shave my head with a DE. The whole morning routine takes just about 30 minutes for everything.

I typically shave every other morning. The entire "triple S" process is typically about half an hour. The shave is typically a "once over". I qualify my statements with "typically" because of the inevitable variables.

When I was working in an office, I would shave everyday. Usually I did a two pass shave. If in a hurry I can get away with one pass. Typically, the shave would take me about 20 minutes. Its worth it to me to get up a few minutes early. A good straight shave is a great way to set a pace and tone for the day.
