Since I've started razor shaving a few weeks ago,I've noticed that I have to shave my head twice a week to keep it maintained,since my hair grows back so fast.
-
Every day. I like the smoothness.
-
I shave mine daily too. I love having that smoothness and also would have to shave about every two days anyway since mine grows pretty fast in some places.
-
I like to keep it really smooth, so the Fusion gets used daily.
Often twice.
-
My preference is daily, but sometimes in a time crunch I will skip a day or two. I can get by with it since it is gray and white, but I like it smooth.
-
About every 16 hours give or take. Had to slack off due to a car accident, hoping to get back at it in the next day or so.
-
As for me, prior to my procedure, I shaved anywhere from three to six days (lazy). Now I have no choice but to go three days max between shaves or it won't look good.
P.S. Bald Metalhead, hoping and praying for a speedy recovery, sorry that happened to you.
-
I try for daily but I'm on dialysis so am sometimes too tired. At least it's slow growing now :)

That means a lot to me, thank you. My car is a lot worse of than I am.
-
I shave everywhere between 1-3 days, I get a little lazy, and most of my hair is pretty fine so not so obvious, plus at the moment with cold temperatures in winter, my whole work-day I've been wearing a beanie, so during the week, not many chances for people to see my regrowth
-
I would love to shave every day, but I'm just too lazy. Sometimes I shave only once a week. I need to get back to shaving daily, it looks so much better.
-
Everyday. Sometimes I'll have a day off on the weekend.
-
Every day - - -I like to keep the SHINE and keep the shadow away
-
In my previous post,I mentioned that I have to shave my head twice a week....correction..now it's three times a week. LOL
-
Every day.
-
Every day. I like a smooth and shiny head.
-
I've been shaving every other day. I hate stubble day but I'm gonna go broke on razors and shaving cream. I don't have the upfront investment for a DE setup or I'd be using that daily.

The Microtouch DE razor is on sale at WalMart for $20 and it comes with 12 Dorco blades, if you're looking for a starter DE kit for a reasonable price. Just a suggestion, if your current method works, don't change it.

I shave my head every day.

I find my mach3 heads last at least 3 weeks of every other day, I'm not sure I could do double edge, seems too easy to cut my scalp
-
I shave every other day and sometimes every three days unless I'm going somewhere where I need to look my best, then I shave regardless. I like my dome to be smooth as possible in those situations.
-
Everyday I like my head super smooth
-
I shave mine every day.

God bless you buddy. Hope you ok?
I shave every day normally but sometimes every other day! Mach 3 for me!!
-
At this stage for me, it's every third day. Once the stubble is becoming too long, it's time to go back to the bathroom and shave it down.
-
As some of us have found out, a missed day or 2 can end up you having a great shave!
-
Every other day in the shower.
-
It's individual. I shave every other day.
-
I shave every other day.....I would really like to shave every day, but my wallet will not allow the expense on additional razors / blades.
I have been told by another bald brother, though, that I do need to maintain the look & any expense is definitely worth it.
-
I'm BBC and it's hard to shave daily since the shave took me about 45 mins to 1 hour (or more) to shave it seem completely bald with ATG, because I'm newbie I think. So I shave mine on Mon Wed and Fri.
I used the same blade of Mach 3 for 2 weeks already, tried double blade razor for 2 times and found it easier to cut my scalp so I keep using my old Mach 3. Any suggestions on shaving and blade? I want to improve the shaving time.
-
lately I've been doing every other day.
-
Lately it's been about every second or third day. I've not been a daily shaver for a while now, though every so often I will shave each day depending on my schedule and what's going on in life.
-
Every day.
Roger
-
Every 3 days, basically twice a week. I might let it go for four days to even things out.
-
Every day.
-
every other day, or 3 days at the most. but I'm a blue collar worker so there's no complaints if I'm a little scruffy
-
Developed a convoluted routine. Shaving in the morning during the working week can be an additional chore. But we all know the fresh shaved smooth head morning feel.
So I shave in the morning one day, then evening of the next day, then skip a day, then back to the morning. Every 36 hours !
-
Finding i like every other day shaving at the moment as i get a great shave doing it this way and it saves my skin of being scraped constantly!
-
I basically want to shave every other day. Like shave monday --> Wednesday again.
People around me seem to not see the difference between 2 or 3 days, so when I feel lazy I just wait another day.
I tend to walk around without a cap the first day. I shave in the morning, the following day or 2 days I'll wear a cap when outside or at work.
I tried to shave daily for a while, but that took a lot of time and my skin wasnt too happy about it either: red spots and such. 2 days are good, and at 3 days, when cleaned the hairs are very soft and easily shaven off!
-
I shave every day. To save on the expense I joined the Dollar Shave Club. I opted for the executive model. I get 4 new blade cartridges shipped to my home for $9 US a month. A cartridge lasts me a week. And I get a superior shave with them.
-
Every other day shaving works fine for me as i said. The difference is not massively noticeable. Plus i do benefit from having a good shave and the skin is saved from being scraped daily.
-
Everyday, with the exception of the odd day here and there where I don't.
-
Every morning...
-
I try for every day but don't always succeed.
-
Still a relative newbie to head shaving am bald by choice, and currently obsessed with keeping it smooth as a baby's bottom at all times, so every day, sometimes twice a day, using a headblade razor as i shower. It does get slightly irritated from doing it so often, but with the smooth obsession, i dont mind that too much, and i know eventually the newness of it will wear off and ill end up with likely an every other day routine unless im going somewhere i feel the need to be freshly shaven, then ill do it as part of getting ready for that event.
-
About 3 times a week .The more you shave that faster it grows
-
If I can, I try for daily, but often it's every other day. I love the smoothness One day there will be a way to get rid of this hair forever, until then, it's the rigor of shaving.
-
Every day while showering. IMHO I don't believe it will grow faster by shaving every day :/O
-
Guess what, gentlemen ... I think that I have joined the every-day club. I used to go anywhere from 2-6 days, but for the last several days, I have simply decided that I don't like the stubble. I love the feeling of a perfectly smooth bald head. I don't think that I'm going back to stubble. Did anyone else have this "conversion" experience?
-
Wish I could shave daily...love having a smooth head. Get razor burn if I shave more often then every 2-3 days
-
Being tan and having snow white hair, I can actually see the stubble every morning. Hate the stubble feel too, so I seldom skip a day of shaving.
-
Now that I have switched to an electric shaver rather than a blade, I am shaving myself daily. It only takes a minute and I don't seem to mind doing it like I do with the mess of a soap and blade.
-
When I use my electric shaver, it's usually sitting on the sofa watching the morning news. On a beautiful summer morning, nice to shave while at to patio table. I have seen a guy shave his head while driving too.
-
.
-
Usually every third day. At my advanced age my hair is white like my beard so not very noticeable if I don't shave. However much prefer the feel of a freshly shaved scalp and will shave again if going anywhere important. I am long retired so don't have to worry about office requirements.
-
I shave every single day.
-
I'll typically shave every day just for the smoothness. If I don't, by the second day my shirt gets caught on the stubble when I try taking it off. It seems like such a small, simple problem, but I hate it when it happens!
-
Every day, except weekends, unless I'm going out on a sat night, Sundays I never shave, gives the noggin a rest
-
I try for every other day. That's the routine that works best for me.
Red
-
3-5 times at week.
I like it smooth as possible,but I'm afraid if the razor bumps
-
Been doing every 36-48 hours but I'm working to bring that down to daily.

Sounds about right. In my 20s, I could manage 48 hours. Now, I go crazy if I don't hit it every morning. For hot dates on the weekends, I'll likely hit it before going out in the evening

I shave my head 6 days a week most weeks but I try to do it everyday. My hair is really thick and grows super fast. As I've mentioned on these boards before, I look like I have a buzz cut after 36 hours of not shaving it. So it takes longer to shave and not very fun if I were to do it every other day. But sometimes if I have the day off and have no plans to leave my residence for the day then I won't shave my head either.
By the way, I can't believe its almost been 6 months since I began shaving it!

same here: day off and no place to go. LOL
-
Twice a day.
5:30am, full wet shave routine in shower; Exfoliate, Cremo, shave, rinse, rinse again with cold water, aftershave.
5:30pm, dry shave, just a dry razor, dry head, aftershave.
Stubble drives me insane, lol.
-
when I mirror you look portable Barbershop, once a week. When I am maintaining it myself, every other day. my hair is very very fine and wispy it has no color anymore so I get away with doing it every other day
-
Every day or every other day. Occasionally, I'll let it go for a week and then bring out the shock factor with those whom have gotten comfortable with my shadow look. O0

daily for me. occasionally, wintertime, I'll let it go 2-3-4 days just to give the skin on top of my head a break. it's good to check on my MPB. after 4 days, I can't stand it tho. looks so stupid
-
Every day! So many days I think I could skip a day or two, but I get in the shower and out comes the razor. I've gotten to have any stubble at all. And even if I'm going to run a couple of errands, my head just be freshly shaved.
Before I started shaving my head, I would get a haircut about every 5 weeks, and only shave my face a couple times a week. That's why I believe headshaving becomes an obsession for some of us. But there are alot of worse obsessions you could have besides being well groomed!
-
Once a day shaving is not an obsession. But head shaving 2 times “every day” , I would call that an obsession.
Most head shavers just dislike that Velcro feeling. Myself included.

while on the topic, if you ever stop shaving for a few days, 3-4-5, do you get strange looks from friends and strangers? Maybe it's just my obsessiveness. idk.

Never happened to me, since I start to shave my head almost two years ago I don't let anyone see me in public with more than a day of hair growth (except for the barber)
-
Everyday, between 6pm and 8pm..lol
-
I shave at least twice a day, can't stand the stubble on my head, I will shave first thing in the morning and then again before bed if not sooner.

I am retired so unless there is a dinner engagement, I shave every other day.
I use a Mach 3 and top it off with a Niivea lotion. Nice smooth finish.
-
Every day against the grain in the shower.

same here. i swear i could do it in my sleep
-
My shaving routine is normally every other day with a Mach 3. Less than 10 minutes with a steady hand around the ears. And I still have fun doing it.
-
I shave my head 2x a week. My choice of razors are DE's, SE's, shavettes and sometimes straights.
-
I shave my head everyday after the shower.
-
I find I get a better shave if I do it every other day instead of every day.
When I am in the Chicago area I have it done at the barbershop twice a week I don’t have to shave it myself
-
Every other day. Against the grain. Want to avoid a shadow.
