Title: Best when and where to shave
Post by: rss114 on December 29, 2014, 01:08:30 PM

I'm a shower shaver, so that typically means first thing in the morning.  No mirror, all by feel.  When I first started, I was a sink shaver in front of the mirror.  I did it at night the first few weeks, but quickly transitioned to morning.  Continued to be a sink shaver until I felt comfortable that I had my technique down, and then I started shaving by feel in the shower and have ever since.

I will add that sometimes I do shave at night a second time, if I'm getting ready to go out with friends and I feel like getting my head smooth for the evening.

I work rotating shifts at a plant flip-flopping between days and nights. I work 12-hour shifts, so I don't have time for everyday shaving. Since I (mostly) use a DE,  I shave over the sink. I usually shave on Wed./Thurs. if I'm working that weekend; on Mon./Tues. after working a weekend and on Saturdays if I'm off on a particular weekend.

In the morning I shower, then dry off and immediately shave with my DE in front of the mirror. I have everything layed out before I get in the shower(razor, brush, soap, towel). Because I'm BBC, it take about 30 minutes or more as I shave my head, then my face.

I'm a morning shaver also.  Here in Asia, bathrooms can be, well, interesting, so whether I shave during or after the shower depends a lot on the bathroom layout!

Shower shaver each a.m. Takes me all of five minutes.

I often shave in the evening as well at the sink if I can feel the stubble of a five o'clock shadow.

I am a DE shaver and I'm lazy so morning doesn't work for me. I can barely drag my butt out of bed. I shave at night usually 2-3 times a week. Those times I take my time, put on my music, pour a drink and relax.

mornings for me. As far place, typically I'll shave my head in the shower.  I'm not a neat wet shaver by any stretch. So i like to have the shower rinse away the soap and stubble rather than tend to a messy sink counter

I generally shave at night, I'm not a morning person generally.

I shower and shave at night, my morning is too early for me to shave without lots of blood.  But by doing so, my smoothest time of day is while I am sleeping.

Morning in the shower, but prefer in the evening, but like slybeard, I'd waste my smoothness while I'm asleep

I shave in the shower, by feel. Though after the shower i just do a little tidy up at the sink

I shave in the shower before work mostly by feel but I have a mirror for getting around my beard.
