I shave every day, usually.  Like today I didnt shave and I am hating myself right now.   I dont find it as a chore anymore.  If it took me as long as some of you say it does, then it would be a chore.  I can get a good smooth shave in the shower in about 3-4 minutes.  Of course shaving the noggin is the last thing I do in the shower, that way it is all nice and ready to go.  What we have to remember here, there is no wrong or right way in daily shaving.  Do what you feel is best.  It's just that if you want that smooth noggin look everyday, you are gonna have to shave it everyday.  Its just like mowing the grass.  If you have dandelions in your yard, sure you mow it and it looks all nice and smooth.  Wake up the next morning and those darned dandelions are standing tall and proud.  So you will have to get the mower out again and smooth that baby out!  lol  But the best solution for that is to attack them with weed killer
DONT USE WEED KILLER ON YOUR NOGGIN THOUGH, I think you will find that you will loose more than hair!

Hey shaved!

Welcome aboard, man.  Glad to have you with us at SBG.

I, too, am a daily shaver who loves that smooth bowling ball feel you get after shaving the noggin.  Like you I dread the velcro feel....but it goes with the turf....the hair grows back and its got to be mowed down again.

Reading the threads suggested in earlier posts would be very helpful to you.  Also, post your own routine when you feel ready to do so.  One thing that helps with getting a real smooth dome is to exfoliate frequently, I do so every day.  I also use "shave secret," a shaving oil under the shave cream and I think that also helps with getting a close shave.

Enjoy experimenting, bro, it's part of the fun of being sly.

Welcome to SBG's shaved26, good to have you join us.

Shaving daily is the only way to keep it smooth, but it is nice to take a break now and then, like Mike said. I'll usually let it go for about two days every other week or so.
 
When you next shave, it is a beautiful, close and super smooth noggin you end up with.

Do what works best for you, experiment with different blades and gels, creams etc.

Like boston mentioned, it's part of the fun that's added to being sly.  O0

Keep it smooth, and post a pic when you can.

Welcome in!  I'm a daily shaver for the most part.  Ocaasionally i skip on Saturdays and find that I do stay smother longer for a couple of days after.  Might be my imagination?  But for the most part it's every day.
