How often do you shave?

[sfuria]

I used to shave once every two days, but now that I was let go a few months ago, I've found that I shave like only once a week, and sometimes even just only once every two weeks. I know, I suck. But that got me thinking, am I strange? Is it wrong to shave only once every two weeks? How often do you all shave? And I'm not talking balls or anything, just the face.

Women kind of have a built-in announcement with the whole breast phenomenon, but guys need beards to make the formal announcement.

My boyfriend is sporting his first beard ever. This bodes well.
However I'm the same cup size i was when I was 12 with no sign of ever growing up.

I should try to grow a beard instead.

The Olympic gymnast look can be quite appealing. But not with a beard.

Really? I would think just the opposite, at least in modern society. We haven't had a bearded president, for example, since Rutherford B. Hayes or thereabouts.

I shave my dog's ass, make him walk backwards and call him a Raider. Does that count?

that's what the old ladies tell me

Rutherford didn't have to deal with TV, much less high def. A modern president will have to have a polished manicured beard. No bushy homages to anyone named Robertson. If you're lucky Hillary will let her 5 o'clock shadow grow.

I trim my beard every 3 weeks or so. On electric trimmers with 8 settings, my setting tends to be a 3 or 4, depending on mood/season/etc.

My hair has been kept in short buzzcuts or fades since June, except for the couple of times where I shaved it for kicks. My hairline will eventually be such that I'll rock the shaved head permanently, but for now its an end-of-semester thing that I do for a week or so. I have always shaved my head at the sink. I need that mirror.

I'm not sure I'd call any of our recent presidents dominant males and most of them have hardly been authority figures.

I'd rank our current first lady higher than our president in both categories. Her being clean shaven probably supports your argument though.

So I decided to try your method tonight. All I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! While I'm not ecstatic about the stubble, its not too much that it looks bad and its definitely worth the time it takes. It took me about 2 minutes to do my face... I don't know how long it takes others to shave, but thats a savings of about 8 minutes for me! (yeah I got a heavy beard).
