How much time before you feel stubble?

So, some people love us bald, others don't, and most could care less.

I think most of us love the FEELING of a smoothly shaved head. I do and always found that pleasurable. It's like conquering the whatever remaining follicles that produce hair.

If you get a great close shave and the feeling of the shaved area matches the bald areas in texture, HOW LONG before the fringe feels like sandpaper and the smoothness is gone?  Is it like a 5 o'clock shadow? Next morning, etc.?

Just curious the RATE out remaining follicles grow hair? And wonder if we, MPB guys, grow any hair but at a slower rate?

Food for thought.  LOL

It's usually the next morning for me. Though, I found that during the colder months I tend to shave every other day, rather than every day.

About 12 hours for me. I can't see any hair, but just start to feel a little stubble. Definitely feel plenty of stubble the next morning.

That's about the same here. If I could only stop the habit of FEELING for stubble during the day. I hope my habit isn't too obvious to my co-workers!

slybeard:
I was thinking about 10 to 12 hours as well.  I normally shave at night, it feels OK early morning, but by noon is sandpaper.
