Shaving at night?

[Jeltz]

My technique is improving and already after 3 shaves I'm starting to get the hang of it, but its currently taking me the best part of half an hour to shave with my new kit, so I decided to try shaving just before bed last night.

This morning some areas of my face are smoother than others, but I think that reflects that I still have much to learn. However, those that I got "right" are still as smooth as they would have been if I'd cartridge shaved this morning!

Do many people shave in the evening?

Like you, when I first started it took me ages to shave, so I used to shave in the evening. I eventually got confident enough to do a one-pass in a morning before work, and eventually got to where I am now - two passes+touch up in around 10-15 mins.

Take your time, and you'll get there.

Do many people shave in the evening?

Yup - most of the time.

Same here. So I can really take my time for it.

Almost always...much more enjoyable because of less time pressure and also gives your skin a chance to recover.

Everybody's different but as you learn more the time required for you to shave will naturally reduce. Enjoy this bit, it is the most fun.

Another evening shaver here, certainly on weekdays. I'm up at 5.30am as it is, and I really don't want to make it any earlier.

I also shave in the loveliness of the night. Just like to take more time over it than I could in the mornings, as I like to leave for work early before ALL THE OTHER MANIACS GET OUT ON THE ROAD AND MAKE MY JOURNEY A LIVING HELL!!!!

Night time shaver, usually around 7:30 when she`s watching the soaps.

There are two 5 o'clocks in a day???!!!

0430 still counts as a night shave in my book :lol:

I've shaved in the evening for some time now. I rise at 5, but have never been a morning person. As such I just decided it was not in my own best interests to use a straight razor half awake. Plus I have a bus to catch.

Shaving in the evening allows me to relax and really do this thing of ours correctly. Wash face, massage lather, hot towel, the whole 9 yards. I even unhook the phone.

always a night time shave, relax, unwind & a good face prep. I still look forward to a good splash of aftershave in the morning after washing, livens the face up nicely. I see nothing wrong with using post-shave stuff in the morning though shaving the night before.

Another night time shaver here, ideally after a hot bath.
