    Default 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.

    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 used to shave everyday. I'm in an awkward transition now. Typically I shave in the morning, and I get a very nice, smooth shave. The next morning, there's nothing to shave. However, by that afternoon, I've got stubbles! Would like to shave every 1.5 days... So I guess I'll just have to improve my shave some more until I can keep it a shave every other day without stubbles on the second afternoon? Or I suppose I could go back to settling with a not-as-good shave and shave everyday...

    Oh, typically I do 3 passes.

    I voted every day, but only because that is the closest to actual practice. In reality, I usually shave every morning Monday-Friday, in the evening on Saturday and not at all on Sunday.
