Is it the feel? the look? both?

Newbie here. Clippers with no guard 5 weeks ago. Decided to try a razor 2 weeks ago thanks to reading so many helpful post on this site. Razor shaved 3 times since. Anyway, in the very limited time I've been sly I've noticed that I seem to have a preference for the
feel
of a few (2-4) days growth but the
look
of razor shaved. I haven't read anyone talking about such difference. Is this common or am I just an outlier? Is this something that changes over time?
I've read a myriad of threads on this forum. There are many lurkers out there like I was at one time. Thanks for the time (and posts) you guys put in.
Thanks,
T

I'm the exact opposite. I don't mind how a few days' growth looks, but I much prefer the feel of a fresh shave. Admittedly, I really like how that looks, too.

I like the look and feel of new razor shave but everyne is different. When I don't shave for a few ays I feel uncomfortable.

I really like to look of a very clean shaved head. Being BBC, the one or two day growth is very visible. I will skip one day, but don't like to skip 2 days.
I really like the feel of the super smooth right after the razor shave, and the next few hours. The teddy bear fuzz of 2-3 days growth feels nice, too, but my preference is for super smooth and shiny.

I like the feel of freshly shaved. I also love the look of a shaved bald head. Being BBC and having white hair, even one day growth is noticeable. Like someone said, with 2 days growth, looks like I wet my head and dipped it in sugar.
I also enjoy the time consuming ritual of the daily safety razor shave.

I am one who does not like the sand paper feeling. I rarely skip a day.

I like both the feel and look of a freshly shaved bald head, and I never miss a day of shaving. I'm a 24/7 bald by choice guy.

I'm an every other day shaver and I like the sandpaper feel I get on the off day.

I am a daily or an every other day shaver. I love the smooth feeling, and the look. Guys with light color hair can normally get by with less frequent shaving and have the same look, but no the same feel. I suggest you give daily shaving a trial and see if you don't prefer the smooth feel. Most, but not all, sly guys want to avoid the sandpaper feel and the shadow, and achieve that with a daily shave. Otherwise, you can just buzz at a length that has a softer feel or the length you prefer.

Like many of the others, I prefer the look and feel that comes from a fresh shave. I'll occasionally let it go for a day if I don't feel like shaving but I prefer not to.

For the record, I'm most definitely BBC. Full head of hair - although getting to be more salt than pepper. So with that in mind...
I absolutely love the feel of a freshly shaved head. They way it feels when your head first hits a cool pillow when you go to bed. Diving into the pool right after a shave, while there's still a faint tingle on your scalp.
I also love the look when I'm freshly shaved. Not crazy about the first 2 days after I don't shave, but around day 3-4, I like the look again - longer than stubble, but still seeing scalp.

When I first started shaving my head, the feel of it bothered me at first. I thought it felt like leather, so when I could feel some stubble growing, I preferred it. That eventually changed over several months, to where the fresh shaven feel didn't bother me anymore. I always prefer the look of clean-shaven.

I like the fresh shaved feel which I can touch my scalp without feeling any hair, and like rubbing my head all over. Don't care much about the look.
