Thread: Shave Frequency?

My shave frequency is about 60 hz...unless of course I am in Europe.

When I was using cartridge razors I hated shaving and avoided it as much as possible. Now I love it and wish the hair would grow faster. When I go for BBS shaves then I can't shave the next morning because there is nothing to shave...
my hair doesn't grow fast enough.
That never happened with Gillette fusion, i could shave everyday and still take quite a lot off.

i've always been an everyday shaver.. in my mach3 days i would often skip a day or two here and there and it was no big deal..

now.. as soon as i start to get a shadow i feel like a slob and i'm seriously bothered by it.. i really enjoy taking a few days growth off.. but it's serious hard work to allow it to go that long.

Here's what I do:

In the morning...as soon as my wife and 3 daughters
relinquish the bathroom...I shower and have a full
2-3 pass shave. In other words, I take my time and
get a shave that satisfies me.

At the end of the day...after all the sweat-generating
activity is over...I take a quick cold-water shower,
and a quick 1-pass cold water shave...no fancy prep...
no worries about BBS...just a quicky.

A splash of aftershave, brush my teeth, comb my
hair, and that's it.

Feels good!

...since 1982 when I joined the forces. Although, the dress and appearance regulations require airmen to be clean shaven (moustache and sideburns allowed, with size restrictions) at all times.

Since I retired, I have had a full beard for awhile, and have grown a couple decent goatee beards, also. But, even with a beard, you still have to shave the outline every day or so, unless you don't mind the beard growing down your neck a la hillbilly. I used to have a nice read beard, too. That's the one thing the Air Force took from me. My red beard. It's half grey now, of course.

Usually I shave daily, but its been less recently as I'm mid moving house and my razors are all packed up.

I've been stuck with the DE for a few weeks now, and I've been shaving every other or every third day depending on how scruffy I want to be...!

I shave when I feel like it and usually in the evening after a bath and if I have the luxury of a boss that doesn't care and two weeks growth on my face, I absolutely love to shave it all off with one pass in under 5 minutes while at the same pointing and laughing at the mug of disgarded mach3 handles and blades that the rest of the family use and saying "wilt in the face of your predecessors kick assedness... the Crown and Sword Fusion" it doesn't vibrate but it doesn't need to.
