Title: How often?
Post by: FR8TRAIN on June 28, 2008, 07:55:30 PM
Hey Guys,

I hope this poll hasn't be posted before. I couldn't find it in a search so forgive me if it has.

Once in a great while, I skip on a Saturday. But not very often.  It's just not worth it.  There's not enough hair to shave more than once a day.

If I try to shave a second time in the same day, I can't really get a decent shave.  The stubble has to grow out more for the razor to be able to do its job.

I shave once a day, though I skipped a day here and there. I hate myself for it later though  :x! :Xo! >:(

Normally once a day is the minimum for me.  If going out that night, HAVE to be slick and smooth so a second shave might be required.   I have been giving it a bit of a break this summer though with the mosquito problem we are having in the Midwest.  Even with bug dope on, they are swarming an finding this glowing dome a target.

Every other day works well for me. Mine doesn't grow fast enough to rate every day shaves.

Every day, sometimes if I'm going out I do it again later, but not often. 8)

I was tempted to skip today as I rushed to get out the door to the gym, but when push came to shove, I just couldn't leave the house with stubble.   :D

Every day without fail.
If I'm going out in the evening I'll shave then as well.

Post by: baldy46 on June 30, 2008, 11:19:25 AM
EVERY DAY!  Sometimes I'll shave later in the day on Saturday, and then shave again early on Sunday morning before church.  Gotta have that smooth dome.
Title: Re: How often?
Post by: J Digory on July 03, 2008, 01:15:16 PM
Twice a day here. It's fast and simple. Do it frequent, and do it quick...keeps the dome smooth.
Title: Re: How often?

Once a day and everyday.

The awsome smooth good-morning-feeling.

I love shaving my head too much to miss a day, so 'daily' for me... even while camping I keep it shaved.

I shave at least once every day twice on days when I go out.
Title: Re: How often?
Post by: Ryan on August 18, 2008, 08:51:33 AM
Once a day... like others before me have said, I'll attempt a second shave if I'm going out that evening, but I find I don't have quite enough stubble to work with to get it as clean as the first one of the day.
Title: Re: How often?
Post by: Brkeatr on August 18, 2008, 11:08:04 AM
Every morning .....if going some place real special will shave in the evening also....

Every other day for me.  I get a better shave, plus I'm too lazy...
Title: Re: How often?
Post by: skinhead002 on August 18, 2008, 11:51:40 AM
Shave every morning.  Sometimes again in evening if going out.  Occasionally will use electric in patrol car if I find I missed a spot wet shaving.  I cant leave the house in the morning if Im not a completely slick skinhead.
Title: Re: How often?
Post by: R o b 6 on August 18, 2008, 12:28:15 PM
Daily for the most part...can go every other day at times before it gets too "long" and itchy. Seems like I can grab a better shave if there's a day's worth of growth.
Title: Re: How often?
Post by: fcb2001 on September 25, 2008, 12:06:08 PM
at the very minimum once a day, it will be twice a day if i go out for the evening

I'd say the same with occasionally using my electric shaver in the office if we're going out straight after work somewhere.

wow. i feel like an outcast haha. i shave every other day at the very least. sometimes every 3 days but no more than that. after reading all your responses i think im gonna start shaving everyday. how do you do u guys find time 2 do it everyday? with college and everything i cant find the time to do it that often but ide love to. the slyer the better.

the reason i shave every other day is because i HAVE to shower after i shave my head. i hate the slimy feeling the oil and shaving cream leaves on your head. so i dont think i could just shave it and then leave the house like that. is that what everyone else does?

im jealous of you guys that shave 2 times a day lol. thats crazy!

I shave the dome and face every morning, at the sink, then hit the shower.  The shaving doesn't take long at all... 5-6 minutes.  You'll get faster at it with time; I've been shaving 5 years.   Keep up the good work; you look great!

Learn to shave in the shower bro.

I did and it works great, just use the "braille method..no mirror"..

once you have it you'll be hooked..

plus remember daily shaving reduces the nasty shadow problem!

Like JJ said..keep up the shave, it looks great!

ill give the shower shaving a try. im not very coordinated though so well see lol. i actually cheat while i shave in front of the mirror. i make things extremely easy by using a smaller mirror to see the back of my head while shaving the back of the dome. im guessing most people just blindly shave the back without needing to see it lol. if it wasnt for that smaller mirror ide have a ponytail in the back by now haha.

There's a mirror mounted on the bathroom wall opposite the mirror above the sink, so I can visually inspect the back of the dome when shaving...

In general, I shave every other day - unless a situation arises where I want to look especially good, then I may back to back here and there. And I'm a braille shaver for the back  :P

Post by: Thompson on October 01, 2008, 03:27:00 PM
Every day,no matter where I am or what do I need to do that day.Even if I'm risking to miss bus or to be late at school.
But,it's not a big deal,since I shave for...let's say,10-15 minutes at the most.
