But I love to shave! What's a guy to do? I've got razors to hone and test. I can't let a day's beard go to waste! To shave or satisfy the wife? That is the question.

Happy wife, happy life. :D
Tough call man. There are seven days in the week...I suppose you COULD divy them up. The question is....are there other "tangible" rewards from having said stubble????? If that's the case, grow a freakin' beard man! :tu
Good advice. Can never ignore the intangibles.
As much as I enjoy shaving, there is satisfaction in shaving a beard with several days' worth of growth and your daily shave can be to clean up the beard lines.
"intangible" would be the pleasure she would derive from you having stubble..... "tangible" would be the physical act of her responce... Grow the stubble...Quote:

If you can have friends with benefits, then I suppose you can have stubble with benefits.
Going the weekend without shaving isn't a complete loss. It will make the act of shaving that much more enjoyable when you resume.
Do they make beard toupes?
My lovely bride prefers it otherwise. She has various ways of stating this that wouldn't be gentlemanly to mention. If she preferred stubble, I'd probably have a wedge for Monday morning shaves.
You have plenty of shaves ahead of you in life; growing some stubble on the weekend is a small price to pay to keep SWMBO happy - and by extension, you as well ;)
I love this post. I too would love to grow stubble over the weekend and my wife digs it too. Since taking up the straight razors I haven't had as smooth a face since I was a kid pre shaving. I count the hours until I "get" to shave again. Good luck.
Seriously mate you have to ask about this.
I look at it like this
Keep that woman happy on weekends and she will reward you for it during the week :)
Unless you don't want the reward
Grow that stubble and be her man
My girl would like me to have stubble ALL the time - has become a major bone of contention in light of my shaving obsession lol
compromise and only shave half your face.
I would say Monday to Thursday shaving.
And let the stubble stand the rest of the weekend, please your wife a bit.
You benefit from it yourself, I think. :w
But ask yourself.... your wife doing things to please you to?:nj
And weigh it against each other
Not much of a question.Quote:

It probably a generation thing. "You can't go out looking like that" is my wife's normal reaction to an unshaven face. Of course, when we were younger there were other reasons that not shaving wasn't popular.
Some ladies love a badass and with designer stubble, you can act out their fantasy. Unless of course you really are a badass, in which case you wouldn't need approval from your wife.
My girlfriend absolutely loves it when I use the straight on weekends which is our only time together. She puts a smile on my face for doing it her way. Smiles!
I'm kind of in the same boat. My wife loves me scruffy. She complains that when I shave with my straight, it takes me 4 days to get to where I am at 2 days with a disposable. So we've compromised. I shave my cheeks and chin with with a disposable and my neck with the straight.
Surely there is some other way to satisfy the wifeQuote:
