Thread: When you first started straight razor shaving

true that.. curiosity and such lead me to shave everyday..

my face not liking that fact that my edges were substandard as well as my technique lead me to shave every other day, just to let my face recover a little more..

but then i was back to every day (for the most part).. i think that i get a _better_ shave when i only shave every other day and actually have some stubble to speak of; i'm not sure why.

It was worth it.

that also sounds common.. in addition to letting your face recover over night, shaving in the evening is typically more relaxed than in the morning..

I shave every morning before work. I sometimes let the weekends go by wihout a shave. I just love it.

I shave every afternoon. If I go more than 2 days,everyone asks-When did you start growing a beard?

I shave every day, but since I started with straights I really don't need it for a day and a half. 2 full days and I feel too scratchy.
