Thread: Shave Frequency?

During the three years in which I was unemployed, I shaved every day (slept late, too). Now that I'm back working, I shave every-other day (don't sleep quite as late, though).

I'd prefer to shave every day, but these cool Alaskan summer mornings are just made for "lying-in" a bit.

That's pretty much the make-it-or-break-it factor for daily shaving. If your face can tolerate it then go for it. If you can't, like me, then every other day will suffice. It's not worth the pain and redness just to say you shave daily.

Plus, IME you get a nice smooth as glass shave after waiting for a few days!

Right there.

I can't resist getting BBS every time.......and I feel the irritation if I shave every day; so I shave every other day. I suppose I could go a day and a half and get BBS every time, but that extra half day of recovery is worth it.....for me.

Every day for me.

I shave everyday (mornings are the best for me)...I do achieve BBS and that lasts 'til late night. But, the beard grows enough to warrant this frequency for me. Besides, even if it didn't, I enjoy the zen time of shaving (especially the perp) too much not to do this everyday.

Also, in my line of work, I think I would scare potential collaborators and maybe even existing colleagues .

I would not think of intentionally missing a day. On the very rare occasions when this happens, I find I get a bette shave with two days of growth. However, I get far too much satisfaction from the shave to let it go.

I really like shaving. If I don't shave every day I feel gross. Even the feeling of a bbs shave couldn't keep me away from my babies.

Fbones24,

Every day for me

Have fun !

Best regards

I'm an every other shaver most of the time, unless I worked on to many razors at once lol

Shave every day. When I used to use an electric, had to shave twice a day! Using an injector (2 blade) would shave only once a day, but got a 5 o'clock shadow at about 3-4 PM. Straights are great!
