for those who shave, how often?

[Gunny]

I shaved every single day for 20 years in the Corps. It was just duty. When I retired, I grew a beard, but my Wife really didn't like it. I got into "old timey" shaving about a decade a go and it actually became enjoyable. Different soaps, creams, blades, razors, brushes, scents, etc.. Beats the dickens out of expensive, modern multiblades and subpar electrics. I still grow a full beard every November until after Christmas, but then it's back to a silken chin.

What luck! I must have met you on that very day

Usually every three to four days unless I have a reason to. Used to grow a goatee every fall ad get rid of it when it got warm each year. Had my share of full beards too. I don't mind shaving particularly and will do so in the shower mainly...

As un-often as possible. I hate shaving.

My beard usually ranges anywhere from "hipster dad" to "lumberjack/philosopher" over the course of the year. I'm keeping it quite short now, easier to wear a mask at work all day, but just cutting back quickly with the electric razor every few days. I avoid the "blade against skin" as much as I can.

HA ! I win!

When I was in high school my friends all teased me because I had such a baby face and looked so young. My wife and I would get proofed at bars into our early 40's (before it was law to proof everyone). Anyway, I had an insufferable baby face. My friends in high school would tease me because, while some of them had 5 o'clock shadow by lunch time I didnt have a whisker to my name and didn't need to shave.

As teenage boys do they stupidly would tease me about it and my reply was always the same....."just wait until we're fifty then let's see whose laughing".

Suffice it to say *I* am the one laughing at them now


Oh by the way I shave with an electric about once every 3 days and trim my goatee once a week - ish

[Jamolay]

I am bald and shave my head every workday. I am about to start working with a fellow with congenital alopecia, the absence of hair. He may not have eyebrows, but he doesn’t have to shave and is as cleanly bald as you can get.

I am jealous…

[Street Glider]

I've had a goatee pretty much non-stop since I retired from the military, but I still need to keep it tidy.

I trim back the goat about every three weeks or so. Shaving? No tellin'. I shaved almost daily when I was in the Navy. I vowed to never do that again. Now, depending on what's going on, every three days or so. Sometimes I'll let it go a little longer, but almost never will I shave every one or two days...

[dirkronk]

At 71 and retired for over a year, I no longer shave daily. Maybe every two to three days. I was never a "stubble" guy...either full beard (a few times over the years) or nothing at all. Anything too stubbly and scratchy and my wife ain't gonna pucker up.
