Shaving later in the day

• Shaving later in the day by Razor X on 18 Dec, 2007 22:03
• On weekdays, I usually shave around 6:30 am and by late afternoon I'm starting to get a little sandpapery in some spots.  On weekends, I usually shave much later in the day, sometimes in the afternoon.  As a result, my head is smoother in the evenings than it normally would be.  It's the strangest sensation when I rub my head after 6 pm on a Saturday and it still feels perfectly smooth.  For a split second, it feels like something's amiss and I'm wondering what happened.  It's like the hair is never coming back.  Freaky feeling and totally cool.  Anybody else experienced that?

• Yes, it happens to me all the time because I usually do that on Saturdays especially.  I sometimes even wake up on Sundays and still feel like I really don't need to shave... but, of course, I do anyway.  A bald man's gotta do what a bald man's gotta do.

• Especially after a day or two of no shaving, I get a much smoother shave that lasts up to 12-14 hours before the stubble returns.

• Same thing here, Razor.  Seems that if I shave after I've been up for a couple of hours, the smoothness actually lasts the whole day.  Even my kids noticed it.  During the week I'm up at 5 am and I'm stubbly by noon. Just ain't gonna get up any earlier for a smooth dome.  I do have my limits.

• You all suck....is all I can say.  I never see 9 am at my house..never!  I am always at work by 8 monday thru saturday...and on sundays...we are at church by 830.  It will have to have been a day off or a vacation day or that im sick that i will ever see 9 am on our clocks at home.  What am I doing wrong...?  lol  But ya know...i really dont start feeling any stubble until aroun d7 or 8 at night...i shave at 7 am everyday.  The other night when I got home from work I got called out for the funeral home so I shaved my dome again really quick...not too much stubble but some...but when i got up the next morning...still smooth as ice.

• Definately happens here, but as I've said in many other posts waiting for a while, about an hour, after getting up to shave makes a huge difference.  Today's a good example, the rack monster wouldn't let go, so I didn't go to the gym at 5a, and slept until nearly 6:30a.  Hopped into the shower, shaved, everything the same as usual, but now, just four hours later, I feel like I usually do around 3p to 4p.  It''s just a huge difference.  Saturday's when I get up later and go to the gym later, shaving around 10a, I don't have any evidence, even 000 sandpaper at 7p.  I have thought once or twice, "Whow, I won't have to shave tomorrow, h/o, by 6 or 7 Sunday, it's more than back.

• Without a doubt..
  
  Being on the home "retirement" schedule I usually shave anywhere between 11:00-12:00 in the late morning..it does make me feel "more" bald for real!

• I shave just before bedtime so there's no chance of stubble acting like velcro on my pillow.

• I shave twice a day, the first shave is at 9am, and the second shave is at 7pm, i have to have my dome completely shiny all the time

• I always shave later in the day, since I don't start work till 3pm. I always start my workout at 1pm, shower, then shave before eating and starting work. My head is a little like sandpaper when I get up in the morning, but it doesn't bother me then. The only time I shave in the morning is Sunday before going to church; got to have the shine then.
