• I have decided. I'm done. Not with being sly! But with the everyday crap. My head is very sensitive and so is my skin, but i have not let up on the shaving at all. So I have decided I'm done with it! I'm giving it a 4 day break and that's final. My head is unbearably irritated. I think I may have killed some hair follicles

• Hope you can do it this time  It is sometimes hard to quit when you love it so much

• It's about finding a routine that works best for you.
  Semper Sly.

• I don't really know but maybe you're using too many products on your scalp?
  
  Anyway, you need to stop as long as it takes to get healed. Try just going WTG for a while when you restart.

• Joe, I'm not an everyday shaver either for the very reasons you stated. There is no written rule for shaving everyday. Although I screwed up big time this week. I am going to shave after cutting the grass today. My last headshave before today: Thursday, the 24th...OOPS! Can't be doing that number too often!

• Once your scalp feels better, I would just shave every other day.  I shave everyday without any problems but I do take one day off during the week.  I noticed that my head still looks good on the day I take off as long as I have a good ATG shave the day before.

• I could shave my head every day but if I tried to shave my face daily I would be in a world of hurt (scalp is hardy but neck is sensitive as hell). Seeing as I shave both together, I only shave every 3 or 4 days. I suppose I could do the noggin daily & the face biweekly but its too tempting to do face after head; & I prefer to get in 'shave mode' & do the lot every time.

• G'day Joe, I like Raulski and Harry only shave every 2-3 days unless I have multiple events 2 days in a row. Because I can't face shave daily (Yes I still shave some of my face haha) and my neck also doesn't really like it on a daily basis either.
  
  I'd say just go with every other day for now mate, give it a try again in future if you want, but daily shaving isn't for everyone.
  
  Let us know how you are getting on with the new routine
