    For most it's likely out of necessity rather than preference. I get up early for work and am not a morning person, so morning shaves aren't high on my list of priorities. I also have a job that doesn't require me to be shaven every day. Afterwork can be a rush as well, with getting the kids fed, homework completed and off to bed, it makes an evening shave something to look forward to. Definitely an end of the day bonus

    Gentlemen,
    I tried an evening/night shave a couple times. Actually it was showering and shaving before going to bed, it actually kept me awake. I couldn't sleep with the scent of the shaving cream lingering in my nose. By the way, the next morning, I took another shower.

    If evening or night shaves works for other folks, go for it, but unfortuately, it did work out too well for me. You never know until you try something to see what works.

    All the best!

    I get along well with either, but I like morning shaves slightly better.

    I love the evening shave. Saves me from having to rush in the morning and with a straight and my growth speed I'm still BBS in the morning.
    Another added bonus is SWMBO loves me coming to bed all smooth...lol

    With kids to get ready for school and daycare in the morning I would have to get up almost before I go to bed to get some piece and quiet for my shaving
    When the kids are in bed I get my alone time in the bathroom while my wife is on the phone with someone, I occasionally shave in the morning in the weekends, depending on what we're doing that day, but on weekdays I always shave in the evening. I have a rather stressfull job, so it kind of gets me down to earth again after a days work.
    Need help or tutoring? Check out the  .

    Finally retired I can take all the time I please to enjoy a shower and shave in the early evening, usually just before dinner.

    I like an evening shave very much also. I like going to work looking my best, but sometimes the nightcap shave feels better. I'm a Sunday evening shaver before I go out for drinks. And a workday morning shaver the rest of the week.

    Yes, there are other members who love to end the day with a nice relaxing shave, but for me it doesn't matter what time of day I enjoy my shave and would probably prefer the morning. However, I probably shave in the evening more often then not out of time constraints.

    Absolutely. Personally, I do shave at night mostly out of necessity, but I also truly enjoy the relaxing "nightcap" aspect of it too. But on weekends a morning shave is a nice way to start the day off - albeit after some coffee and breakfast
