Thanked: 2How many days between shaves?
How many days do you normally go between shaves, using a straight razor vs. say a Gillette Mach 3 or equivalent.
When I use the Mach 3 I find I have to shave everyday, with the straight I can go two full days.
How about you?

Thanked: 1936I'm about the same as you. My M3 shave would start to get rough in 10-12 hours when a good straight shave lasts almost twice that before the stubble gets rough.

Thank you and God Bless, Scott

It's basically the same with me.
A straight shave lasts me a good 6-8 hours more than with a Fusion.
I CAN go two days between shaves without appearing as a hobo, I just don't want to.
Everyday it is, for meBjoernar
Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

Thanked: 69i shave every 2nd day...... *(shaved last night.... will shave friday night)....
when i was using disposables i shaved whenever the wife started complaining....
BUT... i have never noticed where straight shaves last longer than disposable.... hair growth is hair growth.... it always regrows at the same rate..... i shave tonight and in the morning my face is scratchy..... *(in my job it i don't have to worry about my appearance)...

With a Mach 3 went 24 hours, with a straight - 36 hours to get to the same point.

Thanked: 5For me, not to get razor burn and to let cuts heal enough 60hrs. My facial hair doesnt grow good and is thick, so if I go 2 days without shaving, its a lot better than every other day.

I've seen the claim made that disposables cut whiskers off beneath the skin. This is alleged to be a cause of ingrown hairs.
But if is true that disposables do cut whiskers off beneath the skin, then it follows that they cut the beard shorter than a straight could. It would also follow that the shave with a disposable would last longer.
