Title: To All The Daily Shavers Out There
Post by: BaldJJ on August 08, 2012, 04:08:45 PM
Self explanatory. I've always done it in the morning but I'm curious what the feedback is out there and how many are shaving the night before?

Remember, Daily Shavers Only! (Shave your head every day, not necessarily DURING the daytime)  O0

First thing when you wake up?

Always been morning - for decades; along with my shower. I would feel "off" the entire day without my morning rituals.

Which currently looks like:
Coffeepot (in the bathroom) starts at 5:30 and I gently awaken to that lovely fragrance of fresh coffee and the sound of it.
A cup (or two) of coffee while I review my plan of activities for the day, check overnight email, and (recent addition) check SBG.
Off for my walk (one hour).
During the 30 minutes after I return home it's time for breakfast, get clothes out, etc.
THEN it's time for shave, shower, etc.

Out the door by 8: Hello World!

Frontier, what time do you wake up? I would love to be able to fit all that in my morning routine, lol.

Yes, first thing.

Well, not necessarily first thing. I'm usually on  the computer for the first hour or so, but then into the shower, and a shave on the way out. This is always in the morning.  I'd only do it in the evening if I was sick in the morning and did not get up for the day.

I'm usually drifting into consciousness around 5:15. But it's not unusual to get up around 4:30 and coax the coffeemaker into action.

Just don't expect anything of substance from me after 10 p.m.

Never been a night owl and I don't expect that's likely to change now. Ha!

I prefer morning but now that I'm working morning shift and start work at 6:00 am, I have to shave night before.

I usually wake up about 5 a.m.  By 10 p.m. I'm pretty drowzy. eyes are blurry right now. See you at 5 a.m.! (heading to the computer, then shower and shave).

I've always been a morning shaver.... but recently.... since I entered the DE world. I have found that a nice, relaxing DE shave in the evening, after my work for the day has ended, is a real treat. I shave about 75% of the time in the evening now.

Always a morning shaver,

But

When I first went Sly, it was evenings for the first month...

Now I am back to mornings.  A morning shave somehow sets the tone for a super Sly day...

If I knew I had to get up at "Sparrow's fart" and rush, I will certainly do it the night before.

Morning shaver here.  Sometime again after dinner so while watching TV I can rub my smooth head.  :)  FrontierGuy I just love your morning routine.  Similiar to mine, but I only walk 30 minutes.

Every morning, here. Gotta start the day off right. I shave in the shower, so it's usually first thing.
This might change though, because I'm gearing up to try wet shaving for the first time soon. Not with a DE or straight razor, though. I dare not mess with those things.  ;D

Just recently (the past week) I started shaving everyday. I'm using a shaving soap and brush now so it's actually getting easier to do.

Mornings for me.  Couldn't shave this morning since I had an early doctor appointment and was running late.  It feels like Velcro up there -- I don't like it. :(

I don't have a set routine, I just do what I fancy. Sometimes morning, sometimes night, sometimes middle of the day if I'm not working.

I'm a swing shift worker, so I don't have a set time....that's also the reason why it's almost impossible for me to shave everyday.

I prefer to shave in the morning.  However, if I'm going out at night I will reshave just before going out.   ^-^

Interesting, seems like the morning is winning... and apparently, some even are crazy enough to do it TWICE in one day  O0

I shave in the morning.

Wake up at 5:50
At the gym by 6:00
Shower at gym by 7:30
Home to shave by 8:00

I may wake up early but I usually only go to bed after 12 too, never needed much sleep, but definitely need a smooth dome

Wow SlyFive,

I wish I could get up that early... I'm more of a night owl!

I have to force myself, but it gives me so much more day! I'd say I'm an all-round person, like I said, I'm often up late too, as long as I get at least 2 hours I'm good to go

Tried not shaving for two days -- it came back off this morning.

Morning, after gym, it just seems to set everything up for the day.  Only problem is that when it is cold, and frankly that's pretty rare here, my beanie is a problem because it keeps sliding up and off the freshly smoothed head.

 ;D :D

I try to avoid shaving twice in a day as much as possible because it will cause irritation if I do it too frequently.  However, if done once in a while my scalp is fine and I love that sight and feel of a smooth, shiny dome.
