Imma morning shaver. M-W-F. I was off last week and had a shave on thurs I believe it was. Of course that evening a nice spike I got from a fellow forumite had to arrive. It was soo hard. I struggled until saturday & got my fix touching the crew up on the barbers hone (spike came with just bevel set according to ad). Sunday was even harder knowing it was going to at least shave (to me it was quite well honed when received). Finally monday came and it was quite gratifying. Just now thinking about it, I may just try a daily single pass ATG and see how that fares. I really think the bathing prep makes a difference and I refuse to bath daily unless I do something that causes excessive sweat or dirt. I work long hours in IT so that normally dont happen during the week. I also firmly believe that part of being healthy is allowing our bodies to fight some things off to stay in practice. But thats a whole 'nother topic. Probably still a good idea to try daily shaving action, at least it will help me find what works should I need a shave w/o a bathe.
