How long before stubble?

[newtowetshaving]

How long does your shave last before getting any stubble?


i find i get tubble within 10 hours using a cartrdige razor and cheap foam.

Can i expect to not get stubble for 24 ish hours using De?

[prendershave]

I get about 12 hours from my DE

That's a difficult question to answer. It depends upon how good your technique is and how your beard grows. Some guys say they are BBS for a whole day. I've always felt the beginnings of stubble, in one direction or another, a few hours after I've shaved, no matter what I've shaved with. If my shave is comfortable and my face is smooth after I shave, I don't worry about how long it is before I can feel stubble. Besides me, the only one feeling my face is my wife.

with a SE - 10 hours

with a DE - 12 hours

keep in mind i dont go for BBS and there is no ATG pass involved.

Does not take all that long to get stubble enough to feel here.. But I have a nice shave all day from whatever... I do not belive in the BBS.. so DFS does me.

No you cannot. Shaving with DE is just shaving, stubble comes as soon as with a cartridge razor

[blade08]

With a good clean shave I look 'presentable' for about 24 hours. This however does not mean that I am free of stubble, it appears after about 8 to 12 hours.

[Trius]

I can feel stubble after a few hours -- 4 or 5, maybe a bit longer, I haven't really timed it. Looks are a different matter. From far enough away, I am even damn handsome.

[Disburden]

My stubble starts coming in heavily after about 6-7 hours.

Then it looks like I didn't shave that day. Even if I get BBS that happens.

I stay clean for about 6 or 7 hours, then I can start to feel the stubble. After that things deteriorate pretty rapidly for me.

5-6 hrs

[ateace]

Usually 5-6 hours, maybe a bit more on a particularly good day. I will look presentable all day.

[spinyeel]

I have a heavy beard and shave at night.If I use my Muhle R89 or Rocket, loaded with a green boxed 7 0'Clock blade,I still feel smooth wtg after 15 hours.:biggrin:Try that with a cartridge razor.

[kevtex]

After 10 hours I can feel the stubble coming back but it feels worse than it looks.

[sandpaper]

Usually 5-6 hours, maybe a bit more on a particularly good day. I will look presentable all day.

Same here, though by 5-6pm (11-12 hours after I shave), I have a noticeable 5 o'clock shadow. Just like my avatar, i have light skin, a dark thick beard, and always have at least a faint muzzle around my face.

[huntmol]

I would say 6-8 hours, then I start to look all stubbly again

[mdunn]

I get m3 style 5o'clock shadow about 24 hours later. But i can feel it begin about 8 hours after bbs.

Come to think of it - ive just enough stubble to justify a shave right now! (its 1:30am in Australia)

[studman46]

Have a fairly heavy, coarse beard but feel no stubble for 19 hours after a BBS shave from my Futur or 39c slant and look presentable for over 30 hours so I usually just shave every other day.

[MAK]

I look fine for the day, but I can feel the stubble a few hours afterwards. There is improvement using a DE razor vrs the cheap disposables that I used before.

[langod]

I can feel stubble after 6 hours or so. (and I don't have a heavy beard.)
After 8-10 hours it's enough so my wife sends me to shave before we engage in any marital activities.

Strangely, when I used a Mach 3, my stubble-free-ness would last all day.

[kestrel]

I can feel stubble about 6 - 8 hours after I shave. My beard is very blonde so it's not visible until 12 - 18 hours after.

That's amazing. How do you get results that good?

[jss]

...Of course YMMV....

[newtowetshaving]

Well actuallly I used a good cream and a cartrdige razor a while back and got 20 hours without stubble.

I'm hoping that a DE will give me a few more hours. It'd be nice to never have stubble.

Then where is the fun and good time to have a shave?
Actually I don't like to shave with a Feather blade cause it leaves the stubble when it comes more sharp and stingy than with other blades. It is now 16 hours since I shaved, normal stubble but not bad at all. I go to sleep and and have shave again tomorrow morning.

See ya guys and girls if any :P
