Title: how often do you shave?
Post by: freddyyx on September 27, 2010, 04:43:47 PM
AS my"natural" hair color is gray, you cant see my stubble very easily, so I get by shaving every 3 days. How often do you guys shave??

I shave almost everyday....3 out of 4 at least.  Sometimes twice a day!!  It depends on what I have to do that day.

Every three days is good for me.

I started out shaving every other day, now I shave once every 4-5 days.  It's a lot more enjoyable and there's virtually no irritation.  Not to mention it cuts costs for razors and supplies over time.

In the summer every day. When the weather gets colder, probably every 2nd or 3rd day.

I try to shave every morning.  Sometimes I skip a day, but I never skip the second day!

Honestly, whenever I feel like it.  If I truly wanted to be clean shaven, I'd have to shave twice a day.  No thanks!!

Almost every morning.  Ocaissionaly every other.  One of the things I like best about it.  I don't have to do it every day if I don't want to.

I don't shave because of what is visible, it's what I feel that drives the razor.  I don't like the feel of stubble, I don't like how it grabs my t-shirts, etc.  So, I almost always clean it up everyday, and it's a pleasure to do it.

That's a great answer, and pretty much the reason I shave every day. 8)

I pretty much shave daily.  I have completed my final laser treatment (6th).  When I started the treatments with about 60% gray hair, I knew that I had no chance of elimating all the dreaded growth.  I will report that everthing that was not gray is now gone.  And as far as stubble, I would just call mine, fine grit sandpaper.  Shaving is a breeze!  I could actually only shave every other day or even on the third day, but I like baby butt smooth.  Personal preference.

The stubble bothers me on the day after shaving, it's all uneven and awkwardly right in between smooth and buzzed.  After the second day the stubble isn't bothersome for me.

I rarely skip a day anymore.  I might skip on a Saturday if I'm hanging around the house but I find it hard to go out in public with any stubble on the dome.  My hair is light enough that the shadow/stubble isn't that visible, but I feel a lot cleaner when it's scraped smooth.  And on those rare occasions that I go out without shaving, I usually see somebody with a perfectly smooth, stubble-free dome and feel guilty for not properly maintaining mine.   :-[

Totally agree Razor! Every morning without fail, unless for example like last night, I knew I was going for a night out, so I left it for half the day and shaved it just before I went out. I hated it yesterday - not quite clean.

Nothing drives home the fact that you've reached Norwood Stage VI like taking a day off from shaving and realizing that there's no velcro on top.

Razor took the words right out of my mouth!   ;D  I shave every day!  I love the smooth feel and I enjoy pampering my scalp with the wash and shave.   O:O

I shave twice a week usually.  I tend to get a much better shave after a few days.

Whenever I feel like it, sorry that was as honest as I could make it.

A couple of times a week I'll take it right down to the wood - others I'll just give it a 'with the grain' pass and some days I just won't bother at all.

Joe - that is the way I am now.   Typically once every 2-3 days, but 4-5 days if I am really lazy or busy.  

When I first shaved my head, the stubble drove me crazy so I tried to shave every day, but it irritated my scalp.    Over time, I either refined my technique or my head adjusted and I can shave every day without irritation, but I don't like to shave my head.  

I think I am in the minority when I say that I find shaving to be a hassle.    It's not a time issue, I just don't enjoy it.   I can do one pass with my headblade in 5 minutes.    A second pass takes about another 4-5 minutes.    It takes about another 5 minutes if I want to use my Mach3 or Excel to really get my entire head baby smooth.
