Both. I can't stand having a rough head and the shadow look, that's why I shave everyday.

I'm an every other day shaver and I like the sandpaper feel I get on the off day.

Same here. I am currently alternating between #000000 and razor shaving. I like having a few days' stubble...so #000000 or razor shaving every 2 or 3 days works for me.  The sandpaper feel, which I also like, is different (shorter) than the #000000.  Either way, I look bald & other people consider that I shave my head.

Although still a relative newbie, for me it's both the look and the feel. I like the feel of a freshly shaved head, and the look. As I'm fairly grey a few days growth just doesn't look so good!

There's nothing worse than the velcro/sandpaper feeling but I can't be stuffed shaving every single day so I usually shave every 2-3 days. It takes me about 20 minutes to shave my head as I like to get it absolutely perfect, I couldn't do a 5 minute job and be happy with it. It would look the same, but it wouldn't feel the same.

You might find that over time, your shaving time will get faster along with satisfaction.

I doubt it. I've been doing it for over a year, I'm not exactly new to it. I'm just too much of a perfectionist to do it quickly.

I hardly skip a day also.  I love the feel of a freshly shaven head!
