Do you shave everyday or prefer to take breaks?

[Griffo]

After shaving had become such a pain I was growing a beard and shaving it off once a month since going DE I'm shaving every day and although I'm not quite at the end of my first month I'm actually looking forward to it.

I shave late at night to save rushing in the morning and I'm more relaxed and chilled then as well.

After not quite a month I can't get over how much better my face is, how smooth I'm getting my shaves and just how much I'm enjoying it.

Also I'm still very much in the practice stage of things so I'm still perfecting my technique, learning about my face and trying different blade/cream/soap combinations.

A month ago shaving was a PITA but now it's just really enjoyable.

I was every other day when I used carts because I had big time problems with in-growns. Since "re-discovering" wet shaving I would say that 80% of the time I shave 7 days per week. Occasionally, I'll take the odd Saturday off - it all depends on what my schedule is that day.

I'm in the local Volunteer Fire Dept. and have to shave every day in order to wear the SCBA gear. Every once in a while I'd try to skip a day on a weekend, but other than that, I shave every morning ( or if I know I have to leave really early & won't have time in the morning, I'll shave at night.

My face takes Sunday off, sometimes Saturday too. Depending on whats going on.

[Dennard]

Every other day is what I like best.

[PugslyCat]

So my question is how many days off do you take from shaving and why? I know that YMMV and all that but I just was curious to hear what others do.

I pretty much have to be sick in bed to not shower and shave. I sleep with a CPAP mask that doesn't seal well if I don't shave the patch under my lower lip, so I've been known to get out of bed on a sick day, shave, and crawl back under the covers.

I used to only be able to shave once every other day. Skin was too irritated to shave more often. Since switching to a DE, I can now shave every day, unless I use an open comb razor. I hypothesize the mildness of the DE razors I'm using are responsible for me being able to shave regularly.

[LouieGrandie]

No shaving on Saturday or Sunday for me, that is unless I have a date with a hot chick on Saturday.

[Big_OC]

I shave almost every day now that I shave the proper way with proper products.

[eizan70]

Shave every day, for the joy of it. Could skip a day on Sunday I guess...Who, am I kidding, No I couldn't. Too much product and gear to use and try, I need all 7 days of shaving.

[Kostas1]

Now, every day, with pleasure.

Back in the cart days, twice a week and dreaded it.

I started shaving at night as well when I first started because I hated staring at the clock while I shaved. It would cause stupid mistakes and would end up bloody. Recently switched to shaving in the morning and I'm tryin to train myself to wake up a bit earlier so I can have the time to enjoy my shave. I've found that using soaps takes longer so if I want to use a soap I need an extra 5 minutes or so just to be on the safe side.

Everyday, cleanshaven, since I started shaving as a teenager. Did grow a beard about 20 years ago. Had it for a month before I shaved it off. Was more work than shaving to me

[The Count of Merkur Cristo]

I shave every day except Saturdays.

Every day.

[MattyV]

Usually take Saturday or Sunday off, but that's about it.

[damhans]

I shave every morning. Before using a DE I shaved maybe once a week.

[Big Jay]

I try to shave every 2nd day. I could probably shave everyday but my skin is really sensitive.

[retturn2blades]

Being retired, I can go with every other day. I might even push it to every 3 days occasionally.

[shep12]

Every day but Saturday - 6 days every week.
