Title: Intermittent head shaver
Post by: Pshrynk on February 06, 2009, 08:33:42 AM
Anyone else an intermittent shaver?

I usually shave for a while and then let it grow back into to a brush cut and then shave and repeat.

It saves me the 5 minutes shaving time a day  ;)

I am totally committed to head shaving.  Can't miss a day, and can't even think how I would feel if I grew my hair even 1mm long! 8)

I absolutely cannot connect with that.  I had a thought this morning that maybe, just maybe, I would skip today and just shave my face.  Couldn't do it, the feel of the patchy, stubble on top was too much.  Realistically I know no one would notice but I would.  I think I'm becoming really obsessed w/ smooth and sly O:O--no help is wanted. O0  I did wind up leaving a one day stubble "goat" and that will come off tomorrow in all likelihood.  Smooth is just too nice for me at least.

Maybe if your hairline is symmetrical it would work--mine is anything but--, or if you're bbc it's an option--that's just not my world.

No. Has to be smooth all the time. I get cranky if I have "velcro head"  >:( :Xo! >:( :Xo!

I buzz my head to the bone with clippers so I probably just look like an intermittent head shaver. I like how the stubble feels and enjoy looking like I shaved my head 5 days ago. I do plan on taking a blade to it once golf season starts but a daily routine? I doubt it.

No "brush" outgrowth allowed for this melon.  I like smooth too much to tolerate anything else!  Once a day is mandatory.

I'm usually smooth every day, but every so often I will let the stubbs grow for a few days. I like the look now and then, and it gives the scalp a break.
When I do have my next shave, man is it super smooth!   O0

 ^-^ Every day, and sometimes once in the morning and again in the early evening. Not obsessive, buy love the tactile smoothness--and lately the gloss--too much to let  the velcro come back. Also, have repeatedly noticed that a two-day growth  is much harder to take down, and occasionally produces knicks and abrasions. Slick for life, Professor Melon

i'm usually a no guard buzz, usually only shave with the mach 3 in summer, and ocassionally when i feel the urge other times of year. the cost of razors is outrageous!

Daily shaver here!  I have let it grow once in a great while if I go camping, and as an experiment for 3 weeks last Fall, but hated it.  Last time I let it grow, I grew a full beard too.

When I do miss a day or two of shaving, it seems like my scalp gets torn  up when I go sly again.

I have a sun allergy (polymorphous light eruption) and i brake out in little itchy pimples when exposed to the sun. Last summer i shaved daily and my head itched and broke out all the time. I thought it was the shaving that did it but it was the allergy. having even 3 days growth gives my head some cover that helps with the problem, but I still shave it smooth from time to time. Most of the time i use my Wahl balding clippers.

I recently had to skip a couple of days shaving because of some surgery. It was the longest I had gone in years without the daily sting of the steel going up the middle of my scalp. It sure felt great to peel that fur off after two days.

I like to shave everyday, but if I'm busy or lazy I'll skip a day once or twice a week.  I think I get a closer shave when I take a day off.

Well, I used let it go for a few days but then found that more than 2 or 3 days made the next shave very difficult.

Now it's at least 5 or 6 days a week. Hey I figure that it's easy to not shave my face on the weekend....why not the head also?
