Age and shaving frequency poll

For the people answering 7 times per week, do you get used to it over time? If I tried that my face would be cut to shreds.

I was able to wet-shave daily right off the bat (using a DE). It took me awhile to build up to daily 3 pass shaves though.

I'm 49 and I shave daily ...it's just how I roll!

24 and I shave 6 days a week. (Unless I'm super sick. Or uh... not sober enough to trust my self with my DE) I don't need to be for work, however I enjoy shaving.

45 and shave every day.

Your face adjusts. More important is that you become better at it over time.

The more you practice the better you become

every other day for me

57 here, shave everyday, because I really enjoy shaving!

Interesting poll! I'm an older guy and I can't stand not being clean shaven. I notice many of the younger guys sport what I like to call "The Yasser Arafat Look". So far 43% of the younger guys shave less than 6 days/week, but only 22% of the older guys shave less than 6 days per week.

I shave around 4-5 time per week, depending how I feel it.

3 times/week. I'm into pleasure delay.

45 and shave every day! Good old Cobra.

46 and I shave every other day.

26 and shave every day unless I take a day off on the weekends.

21 and shave 6 days a week usually, sometimes all 7 depending on what my days off entail. I probably could go less if I did a good DE shave; WG,XG,AG, etc in the morning but I tend to save those shaves for night while my daily shaves are a simple pass WG cut. While I love the efficacy of C.O. Bigelow, Barbasol is still my daily shaving cream with a proper soap.

25. even if i wanted to shave everyday i wouldn't be taking much off. Usually every 2 or 3 days depending if i got some razorburn or anything like that.

I'm 33 and do a three-pass shave every morning, maybe skip Saturday or Sunday once or twice a month. Daily shaves has been a habit since I was 17 or so, and since i "discovered" DE shaving last autumn I enjoy not only the result but the actual act of shaving. That famous "zen-moment" in the morning before heading off to work.

I haven't read all the threads and so this may already have been said but I think shaving frequency also correlates with employment status ( i.e. retired, actively employed, and unemployed) , color of face hair, and white collar/blue collar.

39 and shave every other day. Would happily shave more but the beard comes out too slow.

Under 40 and I shave 6 times or less in the week.

I'm 31 & shave 6 days a week. I usually take Sunday off.

Going on 68 and shave every day (sometimes twice).
Don't have to - want to.
Nothing else to do....
