hello fellow chrome domes....just wondering... this is 2 the daily headshavers. R U guilty of skipping a day since it's winter time? i've notice some of u guys have been skipping a day because of the cold (keeping u smoooth longer) or just being lazy. i'll start: well...i'll confess.... i have skipped a day or 2 so far but 2 days is the maximum. the reason is just being lazy. it's not cold yet in beautiful pensacola. however....in the summer i rarely skipped a day.
so... how 'bout U? R U guilty of skipping a day or two? what's your reason? the cold weather? laziness? or a combination of both? what's your story?

No way...thought skipping a day was illegal :x! Gotta keep the old dome shiney, how else will Santa find my house in the dark.

I'm with Paul. Christmas is not a time for slackers. :*))

I try to avoid skipping a day because of the relief it provides from an itchy scalp.
Still, yesterday I skipped the shower/shave (didn't go running either). I'm paying for it this morning....I feel an itch on the dome this morning. I plan on going running a little later and then cleaning up the head nice & smooth O0

Sorry, gang.....GUILTY !!!
I'm not sure I've EVER shaved 2 days in a row.
Every other day for me is probably like every day for some of you hyper-pubescent apes.
Three days or more and I'm slackin'

I tried to skip a day, then gave in before noon. Why deal w/ it when relief is just a few pleasant minutes away?

For me, it's not just because I'm being lazy...I'm just now approaching the 30-day milestone and keep-or-return decision point. :-\ I've tried doing it every day.
Might be the colder, dry weather, but I kept getting a lot of red blotchy irritation marks if I shave daily. For now, sticking with 3-4 days also preferred by wife). Maybe in Spring, I'll get on the daily program. Hats off to those who are morning and evening shavers.
I do shave the face every day. For some reason, that bugs me even more to have stubble on the mug.
-
I dont skip a day at all. Only if I am sick or something like that..which is not too often. I dont understand really the guys....not just pointing you out Rob...cause others do it too...why do they shave once every 3-4 days. For me if I were to do that....i would have a good size amount of stubble. So why have the on again off again look. Cause it would look like i was completely bald for about a day or 2 and then 2-3 days with short stubble. I dunno...just my outtake on it and I just perfer to keep it smooth. Cause I shower every morning and it only takes about 3 minutes longer than it would if i had to wash my hair....Good luck and MERRRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to skip a whole week due to headblade induced injury.
I skip days shaving all the time. I find I keep a much nicer head if I am not dragging razors over it all the time. I usually shave every other day (unless I am going out in public etc.) but I go into mountain man phases here and there where I will go up to 3 days w/o shaving.

Try to get some 10% Benzoyl Peroxide gel at the drugstore, or some creme w/ 10% in it. Apply immediately after shaving, let dry before applying the moisturizer. Those spots will go away w/ a week.

I'm an every other day shaver of both my head and face. When I'm on vacation I get a little lazy and go for a few days w/o shaving but it starts to drive me crazy after awhile and I gotta shave.
-
Haven't shaved since monday because I took a chunk outta my head with a dull blade
-
I'd rather shave every day, because the stubble is just too tough if I leave it any longer, and it takes me too darn long to shave it smooth. I also seem to cut myself more when the stubble is thicker. Left it two days last week when I had a cold, but it was harder to shave it afterwards, and too time consuming! 8)
-
actually I shave more. If I don't my hoodies stick like velcro.
-
I'm a daily shaver .....but I did skip 2 days since I started because I didn't get up in time and needed to get checked out of my hotel and get on the road for the next job.
I hate skipping I don't plan on it again. I HATE the velcro!
My hair grows so fast that I should be a twice daily shaver. I still do the touch up deal all the time.
-
Not here, it never gets too cold where i'm from.
-
Egads! Skip a day?! Never!
-
It's a cold snowy day here in Kansas. I was really tempted to skip today, but couldn't bring myself to do it. Since I slept in today, I ended up with one of my closest shaves, I think it was worth the effort.
-
I may need an intervention. Haven't shaved in 4 days.
-
Man, how can you tolerate it? Isnt that stubble(long hair) driving you nuts?!

Max, Now, don't make me come down to Texas. But if this keeps up, I will.. :*))

I'm guilty of skipping the odd day here and there, but not because of the cold, just because it's the weekend and I get a little lazy.
-
i may or may not have skipped a day or 2 since its been colder...really though just too lazy :P
-
Nope, ALWAYS try to be smooth...
scraping away long stubble is a whole lot of trouble for nothin'..plus smooth 24/7 is a is a much better way to be truly SLY 8)

same here, procrastination is usually the culprit for me.
-
iam a twice a day shaver, especially during winter, i wear a beanie when i go out and i dont want the beanie to stick to my head like velcro
-
I pretty much shave every other day, except on the weekends when I shave everyday. Or if I'm going on a date on a non-shave day... or if I have a client meeting or training class on a non-shave day...
I do like the break though by shaving every other day... gives my head a chance to rest between shaves and the stubble build up helps me be smoother on shave days. And since I rarely, if ever wear a hat, I don't worry about the velcro effect either.

Since going sly almost 4 months ago, I've skipped 1 day. It made me so misserable that one time, I decided to never skip a day again. If anything, I'll shave twice a day if going out during the evening.

Warhawk - you got that right. The bug has bitten me and it won't let go.
