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.

Use the wahl beard trimmer before the shower. Then I use the norelco electric razor in the shower. The only electrics I like must be able to work in the shower. Shave about twice a week.

If I had my way I'd shave every day like I used to. I used the Target brand disposables and a gel type shaving cream, after the shower. And then lotion afterwards. No alcohol based aftershave. I never got much irritation. I would only get some neck bleeding if I did miss a day and then shaved. But as long as I shaved every day I had no problem.
Now I only trim my beard. My wife likes me to have a beard. But really I hate the beard.

I hate shaving so I only do it when I absolutely have to.

Once every Sunday morning.

Shave everyday, in the shower.

I have several double edged (DE) razors, including the Merkur 34C and Futur, and a few vintage Gillette's. I have a few soaps and either use a boar or a badger brush daily. I shave with a straight razor a few days a week also.

Straight razor shaves are THE BOMB, but I do get a little irritation if I use them daily (plus it takes twice as much time for the shave, and you have to strop the razor before and after the shave).

I shave every other day and I always shave at the end of the shower with soap and a double edge blade. Haven't needed shaving cream in 20 years. Get a great shave with no nicks or cuts and always put Vaseline Total Moisturizer on my face when I get out to keep my skin from getting dry.

My wife is a nurse so she works the three 12 hour days. On those days, regardless of when they are in the week, I rarely shave. She doesn't like the stubble because it scratches her.

Me too. How often do you shave the head? I go about every 5th or 6th day.

Same here. I sometimes skip Sunday as well, but Mon-Fri shave everyday.

This is where I am too. I also have some scarring on my face and a regular razor makes me look like an extra from a horror movie.

I get stubbly fast so I have to shave every day, though I usually skip a day or so on the weekend. I usually shave after a shower because it seems to soften the beard and irritates my face less. If I shave without doing that, it itches like crazy. I really like the electric shave oils but haven't found one yet that doesn't smell like the cheapest cologne ever.

I would just grow it out but my beard is much, much greyer than the hair on my head so it ages me by 10 years. When my "give a ****" meter" finally hits "0", though, I'm going to grow a Duck Dynasty beard.

Shave face every day in the shower.
Shave head every three days.
I just cant stand hair on my head anymore. I will get a little stubble and think I am being a hippy.

I did the same thing when I started shaving my head. I shave every couple of days. Haven't shaved the face since late October, though.
