Im Shaving More Often
I never remember shaving as often as I do now. Since using a straight Im now shaving 2 and 3 times a week. I now enjoy shaving a lot more and could be why I go into my third shave in a week, but it seems that after 2 days I need another shave, Actually as Im writing this I realise I dont need a shave, It's that I want a shave. I just looked in the mirror and you cant hardly even see and wiskers on my face, but if I run the back of my hand on my face I can feel it rough, that never used to bother me. I could actually go another 3 days without a shave . I think I just like shaving now. Hope this post makes some kind of sense.

It makes sense to me. I hated shaving. It hurt & i got a lot of ingrowns. Found a de & liked it more. When i moved on to straights my wife started complaining about me shaving too much!

I'm in the same bag. I used to be an every other day shaver back in the Gillette Good News disposable days. Then I discovered proper wet shaving with the DE and I began being a daily shaver. Since learning straights I've shaved with them exclusively and not looked back. I look forward to each day's shave and on the rare occasion when I miss a day I feel like I've deprived myself.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Thanked: 317I shaved with my mach3 only as often as I needed to for work and when going out on a date. Otherwise, I just left it. And that was even with using soap and a brush.
Now that I'm using a straight, I'm shaving just about every single day. The only time I skip a day is if I get a little over-zealous and give myself some razor burn. But, since I get so much closer with y shaves now, I look better with a day's growth than I used to look right after shaving.

Thanked: 3I find myself wanting to shave twice a day! Today, though, I realized I need to slow down to once every 1 1/2 to 2 days, as I'm getting too close (too much exfoliation ).

I actually don't shave anymore now than I used to, but I enjoy it a lot more, it is nothing like seeing a weeks growth on the razor. And it never clogs up like the crap3 does
The quantity didn't go up, but the quality of my shaves improved a lot!

Hey Mike, you can always shave your legs!
It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled. Twain
