Do you take a few days off?

I tend to shave every 3 days. I too love the feeling of going from some real stubble to BBS. If I had to shave daily I do not think it would feel as nice.

No. I love shaving, and I love being properly shaved. Having a day off shaving would be like a punishment, not a holiday.

Use to shave every day, only shave once a week now, love the old designer stubble look too much, thats my excuse anyway.

I shave everyday, as you'll grow older you'll find that 'that designer look' becomes less and less cute. It becomes one step away from not polishing your shoes; forgetting to zip up your fly, and not changing your underwear everyday.

Since learning to 'properly shave', I actually enjoy the event, kinda like a mini pampering session. I sometimes take a 'Sunday' off but otherwise, even on holiday, it's a daily ritual...

I very seldom miss a day. It is more common for me to shave twice in a day than not at all.

I tend to shave, at a minimum, every other day. In putting it down to the fact I'm fresh-faced when it comes to shaving. If I'm feeling it I might try another shave tomorrow morning (thus two days in succession)!

At best I shave 3 times a week, mostly it's twice.

About the same for me

Replying to myself, I will herein be reserving straight razor shaving to every 48 hours, minimum. Not a terrible shave this morning but more sensitivity/redness than I've been used to of late. I think I need to give my stubble the time to grow out so I'm not aimlessly hacking trying to get everything 'buttery smooth'.

My first proper post - thanks for the warm welcome on the intro page.

I'm becoming a bit of an addict - I really look forward to pampering myself with a straight razor shave in the evenings and shave every day if I have time. I don't know if there's a conditioning thing going on but I seem less prone to razor burn at the moment - maybe my technique has improved some.

No shave today for me due to excessive amounts of alcohol last night. I find hungover skin doesn't take to well to being shaved.

Apart from specifics like the above, I shave everyday in the week with an early evening shave on a Saturday taking care of the weekend

I have a few months off every now and then - mainly cos I want to try out a different beard but resting the skin is a handy by product.
