Even after the closest shave, hence switching to str8's, I can still see a shadow.
P.S. It was almost 80 degrees here today guys, I took my Harley out for a spin, just thought I'd share that....:tu

I used to have to shave twice a day if going out in the evening before going exclusively to the straight razor. Not called for any more........

Five o'clock shadow -- five o'clock fog. With most of my facial hair now a silvery white, I find that the five o'clock fog, if it comes, totally ruins the tan I've worked so hard to get.:cry:
It is also interesting that I, too, get less and less of this shadowy/fogliness as my proficiency with hone and strop increases with my practice with using same. It's seven hours since I shaved this morning and the stubble feels about like it would about an hour after the Norelco. Those little hairs have learned to respect the rotation.:rock:
My facial hair is pepper / salt.
And it doesn;t grow that fast. It takes 2 days before it is visible.
Never goes away. Got to shave everyday. Actually a shave with a Str8 doesn't stay BBS like a multi-blade cartridge razor did-but, NO ingrown hairs. And my overall skin health is better.
I have a black beard, with some gray. After a shave, my beard area has a bluish sheen. After about 6 hours, I can start to feel stubble coming up again.
12 hours later I get the shadow but shave every other or third day to keep the skin irritation to a minimum and get that REAL close shave(BBS)
on my chin/stache/jawline it comes in right away but I'm newbly and my stropping sucks as well as my shaving. If I only shave my chin one day, the next I can shave the opposite and am left with a full on goatee.
I get more of a 9:00 shadow. If I use my Norelco I get a 5:00 shadow.
