i'm sure that this has been asked before but i want to put a bit of a twist on it. since i am now fully into my SR shaving groove and can consistently get good shaves with all my razors (not perfect but good ) i am going to actually measure my beard length before i shave to try to find my optimal time to shave. i realize this isn't necessarily the greatest (as there are other variables besides length) way of doing it but considering everyones beard grows at different rates asking someone how long they wait between shaves doesn't really mean that much. what sparked this is that i definitely think i am someone who CANNOT shave everyday, not that my beard grows that fast but if i did my skin would be raw and red even with a light touch and less pressure. typically i go every 4 day or so but i haven't payed enough attention to really put a number on it. hopefully this helps.

so what i am going to do is simply pay attention to how many days i leave between shaves (i seem to be always shaving in the afternoon now so that is consistent) measure my beard hair length before each shave and record how my results turn out.

anyone every done anything similar? (besides just remembering in your head )
