    Hi gents,

    I've reached the point where I can't even stand a day's worth of stubble. Is there something wrong with me?

    Kingsley Badger Brush
    MB Awakenings Soap/Anthony Logistics Cream/Glycerin - superlather!
    GB Chilled Aftershave

    Although I'm a newb to wetshaving, I'm almost there too. I love having a clean, smooth face, and my LOTH loves for me to have one too. I've contemplated shaving both morning and afternoon just to stay smooth.

    I've not shaved this consistently since I got out of the Army in 1987! Don't even get me started on the number of razors, blades, aftershaves, shaving soaps, creams, balms, etc.

    I don't like feeling stubble any more either, but my face says I have to wait every other day. Otherwise I can only do like WTG and ATG if I want to shave everyday, then I don't get close to a DFS anyway so I wait a day and can get a DFS everytime.

    I like to shave every day, but I usually let it go on weekends just to give my face a break and also for my wife's benefit.

    I'm the same way. If I even think about skipping a shave, I start to itch.

    I skipped my shave this morning because I slept in which is rare for me and as normal when I don't shave my day goes bad.

    I'm pretty close shaven throughout the day but around 2-3 am in the morning my face feels like sandpaper. Can't wait for 7am to roll around so I can get into action with my Merkur HD.

    I was going to say the same thing. The GF likes stubble, so I don't shave on the weekends.

    I normally shave everyday, and i hate having any facial hair growth. I am normally getting irritated with it by the end of the day. However, every now and then I skip if I don't feel well, extremely tired or something like that.

    I have to grow stubble. My face feels better when I shave if I grow 3 days' worth.

    But if I could shave every day I would!

    Get it BBS every morning---but I wait 24 hrs between shaves as I love the cutting sound when removing yesterday's stubble.
