I love a good morning shave but tomorrow is Saturday and...maybe I need to get a life but...I'm looking forward to a nice shave in the early afternoon, sun streaming through the bathroom window, noone else around. After work is a fave too. How about you?
Best Time For A Shave

I usually shave right before bed as it relaxes me and helps me wind down. Mornings are hard for me as I really want to sleep for as long as I can. 
I agree with you, Glen. Being retired, a shave in the early afternoon refreshes me for the rest of the day.
Anytime I am the only one home so I can take my time, relax, enjoy, and listen to MY music as loud as I want.
This is my preferred time.
all the other times it is before work.

Something for us not-quite-there yet guys to look forward to.
Indeed...me too. It puts a nice cap on the end of the day... All clean and properly-fragranced for dinner and the evening. [emoji3]
Two mugs of black-as-my-heart coffee at 5:30am, complete with a pre-shave slathering of Noxema,and I'm ready to face the shaving mirror.
Any time later in the day and I can't guarantee there might be alcohol involved. I'm just not that confident for "later in the day" shaving!

Ditto to this.
Although if it's close to the weekend I will just save it for Saturday or Sunday, and that's whenever I get around to it. Typically before noon.
I generally shave after a morning shower...but I do like a nice shave later in the day...especially if there's a date night that evening.
Some days quarter to 10am, some days quarter to midnight, and others quarter to sunrise
I should hope that a fellow might have at least one day off work per week.
I work about 42 hours a week, yet I usually get at least one late-morning or early-afternoon shave per week. I agree that it's the best. Wonderful light that time of day.
After morning shower for me.
Right after getting up early in the morning, then shower, then go about the rest of your day.
I'm a first thing the the AM guy - just part of my "look good, feel good do good" mentality. Also, i tend to look really tired at work if I am not clean shaven - makes me face look dark despite the fact I have only medium-density stubble.
I do afternoon shaves after a shower if i go for a bike ride or housework. Evening shaves occasionally on weekdays. I still like my mornings best while on vacation or weekends , because i can take my time with it and consider it an essential start.
Midnight, now that I'm happily retired. But I do still shave in the morning for lunch dates.
I tend to drag my shave out if I shave at night since there's no rush, which is nice. But for some reason, I feel like I get better shaves in the morning. It may just be that the morning shaves "last longer", in that I'm not sleeping during the first, closest hours of the shave.
I most always shave twice a day. I have flexible work hours, so I am able to have a relaxed shave in the morning. Not having issues with irritation, I shave again before retiring for the evening. I enjoy that clean shaven feeling.
Seeing as how I have to shave for work and I have to get up for work at 4 am I shave right before bed since it relaxes the heck out of me now that I have discovered WHY my Grandfather shaved the way he did and it really calms my mind after a 13 hour work day with a 1 hour commute each way. But on days off, I still like to shave sometime in the evening before bed.
