I do mine at night when I have the time. The drawback is my smoothest hours are when I'm sleeping.

Another daily shaver here. Sometimes I'll have bouts of going a day between shaves but that's the longest I'll go between shaves.

Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

I like to shave my head daily.  It feels great in the shower.  How often do you shave your head?  Did you get another PM from me last week?

Thanks for your participation in this post guys.

@Classfood, bro i been checking my inbox daily and havent recieved a response from you to the message i sent out :o,

UPDATE: I shaved my head today and it took me 20minutes, using a two bladed razor along with gillete "Gel". However guys i noticed the back of my head goes really numb, and is really red? This happens all the time when i shave myself. However when i get my head shaved at the shop i do not experience any of this.

It's possible that your ability to receive PM's may be limited until your number of posts increase.

Im trieing to shave every four days now. The shorter the hair the easier for me. Once I get the hang of it, it becomes a hobby and an achievment to get a nicely shaved head. I didnt get no pms bro

Remember not to go over the same spot with the razor all the time without first applying more shaving cream. Remember its not a case of removing all the hair in one pass but several and only then after applying shaving cream / soap between each pass.

Plus, you may be pressing too hard and going against the grain which maybe you should give your skin time to adjust to have a razor scraped along it.

Good luck

I like to shave every day, take less than 10 minutes.  Every now and again, especially on the weekends, I might go 3 days between shaves but that's the longest I'll let it go.  As others have said, the stubbly feeling can get annoying.

Goatee is right, try not too press to hard and go through too many passes without reapplying some cream.  It'll lessen the irritation.

I like to shave every day in the shower.  I use a Fusion Proglide and get a nice close shave.  Sometimes I'll miss a day, but, like the other guys, I don't like the stubble.  On the plus side, sometimes it's good to give my scalp a bit of a break for a day.  Overall, though, I would much rather be nice and smooth.
