Poll: How often do you shave?

[cleric of the order]

when ever i feel it necessary which works out to about every 3 days

 

[Barbas]

At this point, I find myself having to shave once every three days if I want to remain presentable. I usually have a bit of trouble getting it all neat and uniform around the jawline. Anyone got any good recommendations for a proper razor? I considered getting a reusable razor that I can sharpen, but I'll settle for anything that doesn't leave the annoying stubble behind. I want the shaved parts shaved like a Turkish barber would do - but without the price.

 

[Hades]

I tend to get a decently sized beard after two days so I used to shave once every three days. I HATED it and thus I just settled with a beard and going to the barber once a month.

 

[Reasonable Atheist]

My skin breaks really easily and the only razors that don't shred my face cost $40 to order a pack of 4, and I only get one or two uses out of each of them, and I'm one of those people who gets a really gross 5 o'clock shadow when I do shave. So I actually have been getting away with plucking my facial hair every few weeks instead of shaving, it gets easier after the first couple times. It looks much better this way.

My friend, i feel your pain and i have some good news for you.

They make good shit in Germany, I strongly recommend the murker line of double edged safety razors, in conjunction with Japanese feather blades.

Really the whole thing where grocery stores only stock the obscenely priced cartridge razors is a huge scam.

Stop buying toys, start buying tools.

Pretty much every day. Sometimes I skip one.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

I don't grow too much facial hair so I can get lazy with it and wait a few weeks before I feel like I have to get rid of it. When I do, I typically just shave it all off.

I groom the nether regions too. Don't like the thick jungle that can grow down there. Yeesh.

 

[Lord Garnaat]

Three times a day, on average. Sometimes more, if the occasion demands it, but never fewer than twice. I'm of the opinion that facial hair on young people like myself generally looks revolting and unprofessional, so I need to be completely clean-shaven. Stubble is a sign of deviancy!

 

[Ryallen]

My situation is a bit complicated. Before I got a job, I shaved once a week. I liked having the scruff. I don't know why. It itched and hurt when I rested my chin on my jacket. But I liked it. Now that I have a job where I am, I have to shave every day before I come into work. That could be every night, that could be every other night, that could even be four days later. But, I can tell you this much: It is so much easier to shave when you've had a few days off and the hair grows in more.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

Once a week. I see no point in shaving every day/every few days, because their's not enough hair there to justify the effort, the waste in cream or the use of a Razor that would just end sooner due to over use.

 

[Johnny Impact]

When I work the customer end of my business, and any day there's a social thing. Comes down to about 4 days a week.

I keep very short scruff on my chin because I look about fifteen years old clean shaven. My face would harden up if I lost weight but this is easier than dieting. I can't grow good sideburns, stache, or beard -- the chin is the only place it comes in thick enough.

 

[Veldel]

About twice a year I don't like shaving and don't mind my facial hair

I also don't use cream or soap just basic water.

 

[Headsprouter]

Whenever I have to look decent/it starts annoying me. I don't clip the hairs down all the way because I'm always happy to see the return of the light stubble. That's what I think looks best on me.

 

[Summerstorm]

HA! SHAVE?

Well, i do shave maybe once every other week to clean things up around my BEARD (Which i just lop off a bit to look "civilized" and not like a bearwrestling mountain-man. (Mostly because i am lazy. But i haven't had a clean shaven face for maybe 10 years now. I was thinking about taking it off and see how i look without now (I began growing it because i looked way too boyish and sad... and nondescript without.)

 

[Eddie the head]

Depends what you're talking about but in one area or another usually once a day. I come form a harry family. Beard? like every 3 or 4 days.

 

[elvor0]

Er....like once or twice a month? If trimming my beard counts anyway, that shit takes a considerably more amount of effort than shaving.

 

[wintercoat]

I used to shave all the time, but as time went by, I ended up shaving less and less. Now I only shave once in a blue moon. I'm currently rocking a rather nice 11" beard that's filling out nicely. I'm up to two separate braids now!

 

[JayRPG]

I'm a male and a 'hair-phobe', funnily enough I actually don't care about it on other people, and in the case of sexual partners, while I'd prefer there to be little or no hair I really don't care that much.

But.

I hate hair on myself, I always feel dirty and uncomfortable, I'm naturally pretty light on facial and body hair but I shave my face every few days when I need to, and I use hair removal cream on my entire body once every few weeks (except my underarms which I shave), this keeps me pretty much hairless all the time, except the top of my head and my eyebrows

 

[Simskiller]

Where's the "depends" option?

I shave for 1 job, but not another that doesn't require me to look as "professional" so I'm currently sporting a nice 4 weeks or so growth.

When I was working my other job I would shave every 3 days or so, when I start working for them again, I'm going to ask them "uh, I have a beard now, do I have to get rid of it?"

When it gets too bushy, I'll just clean shave and start all over again.

 

[MiskWisk]

I shave a few times a month, sometimes twice a week but not often.

I have been trying to grow facial hair but for some reason I am only capable of growing a chinstrap and a pedo-stache, neither of which I am comfortable walking around with.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

I don't shave, I do trim my mustache every once in a while. No sort of schedule on it, just when I think it's a good idea.
