What time of day to shave and how often? by AdamsvilleAce on 07 Dec, 2007 06:46

I've ponder this for awhile,but when is the best time of day to shave so you can avoid that 5 o'clock shadow during the day.

Not really sure bro. I seem to always shave in the morning during my shower. I think it actually depends on a lot of factors. How close of a shave do you get, skin tone, how fast your hair grows. There are some days that I dont notice stubble until later in the evening..but then again Ihave found it as early as 4 or 5 ( hence the 5 o'clock shadow) Some people their hair grows faster than others. I have though found that during the colder weather my hair grows slower. It all just depends on the individual.

I'll usually time my shaves after a run & a shower. Since I usually run at lunch time, I'm usually showering & shaving mid-day. If I know we have evening plans, I'll exercise later in the day so I can be at my smoothest for whatever event we're attending.

I shave every morning after I've been up for about 30 minutes or so. I think I remember slickdome saying that the longer you wait, the better. Due to the fluids in your body "draining" toward your feet. Something like that. Forgive me if this doesn't make sense. I haven't had coffee yet.
Enjoy your Friday kids. -

I have found that shaving after going to the gym works best and this observation was confirmed by some information on the net that between waking up and shaving there needs to be time for the skin to loose its puffiness that is normal at night. For me it makes a difference of 4 or more hours before any "symptoms" of stubble.

If you have to shave in the morning, wait at least an hour if possible for the closest, longest lasting shave is what works for me. Best of all though, is after a morning run when you have reduced bodily fluids seems to give the very best of all.

I usually shave around noon or if I am going out at night I will touch up before going.
I am a touch up junkie because I am constantly rubbing my head. -

I'll second, third, fourth, or whatever the comments about getting the best results after you have been up for awhile. I've never timed how long, but I would imagine a half hour would probably do it.

I blade shave after work just before dinner. I find it's a good way to de-stress and relax after a long day. This way my wife gets to look at my fresh slick head over dinner.
In the morning I use my Panasonic Wet/Dry shaver to smooth things out.

I've found that I need to be up at least an hour to get my best shave. On week days I just get about 20 minutes because of trying to get out the door on time. I get stubble by noon, but I refuse to get up any earlier. I just shave my best shaves for the weekend.

I agree with KC and storm. If I have to get up any earlier just to have a slower shave, it ain't happening. I am now on my permanent shift time, and have to be in for 7am. I will not get up any earlier than I have to, and some days I will go with skipping. However, on the weekends and my off days, I usually shave after I have been up for a while and have the time for a smooth slick shave. It's way more enjoyable that way.
