You shave everyday!?!?!

[-Doug-]

I've heard this comment a few times when a discussion comes up regarding my slyness. The two people that made the comment seemed shocked that I shaved everyday.  Not in a why don't you let it grow out sort of way, but more because (and I'm speculating here) they didn't think the hair grew that fast.

I'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar comment??

Yes.  Most people don't seem to realize how quickly hair grows.  They also seem to be under the misperception that it is a huge and time consuming chore to shave your head.

I've had that as a comment and a question, a comment from people, male and female, and a question--like this past weekend from a guy I saw that I hadn't seen for a while who's on the verge of using a blade having gone to a very tight almost no guard clipper.  Not only to they not know how fast hair, or what's left, grows but also they are totally in the dark how uncomfortable stubble can be to some guys.

My hair is really thin so I can go 2-3 days without shaving.  You can't see it...but of course I can feel it.

So everyone just assumes I shave everyday.

I shave everyday with rare exceptions.  I really dislike the sandpaper feel of a day's growth on my head.   Stubble on my face does not bother me that much, but I shave may face daily too. 
People usually don't think of hair on your head growing as fast as facial hair. 
I have to confess, I had some of the same lame thoughts before going sly, and that was one reason I put off taking the plunge.  I thought it would be too much of a "chore" .  Now that I'm nearing the one year mark, shaving my head daily is about a 10 minute chore that I look forward to.
On a different, but related note, I find that I get a closer shave and longer lasting smooth feeling on weekends if I shower and shave after being awake for an hour of two.  Weekdays I get up early, and shower and shave just after rising.

I hate the sandpaper feeling as well so I shave my head every day. I shave my face less often.

I miss shaving once a month at worst. Can't stand the feeling of an unshaved head anymore.

I shave everyday and I like the smooth feeling of my freshly shaved head
so very much  !

I haven't been asked if I shave everyday, but I hate the feeling of the nubs.  If I shave early in the morning, I'm shaving again by 2 or 3 before work to get the shine back up  

Speaking of which, I think I will go shave

Does it grow back if you shave it everyday? (just kidding)

1 time/week here. It's my weekend ritual

Would love to shave everyday but my skin can't handle it. So every 2 or 3 days is fine, even if I have to deal with the stubble. And yes, hair does grow back too fast in my opinion (I actually wonder if shaving it makes it grow faster).

I've only heard that comment from my wife.  She says, "I can't believe you'd rather shave everyday than let it grow out and get a haircut (flattop) every three weeks and just fix your hair in the morning."  She know not what it feels like to be SLY!!

My head is shaved every day.  My face is shaved twice a week.

every other day here

Everyday. The guys who question why apparently have full beards or haven't felt their chin at five after shaving at seven. It's called stubble and, regardless of which end of your head it's on, it feels slightly untended. Too, I rather enjoy the ritual of shaving. It's part of my morning as much as the WSJ, coffee, orange juice and washing my teeth. On those strange days when I cannot, I feel a bit like a slacker. (I once tried to shave it in the lavatory of a plane. This was a poor idea for many reasons but still...I had to try.) At my age, I could go days, possibly longer, until anyone even noticed but that changes nothing; I do this for me not the viewing public.
