I skipped today's shave because...

[luv2shave]

I've seen so many threads about SOTD, Blade used, soaps used and so on. Yes why not- after all its a shaving forum and people want to post products they have used and the shave experience.

There are some days we skip a shave. Reaon could be anythinf from being lazy, in a hurry where appearance didn't matter, a rule to not shave once a week, or use of an aggressive razor or a bad shave nicks or weekend and a day off to heal.

How about this thread to log reasons which is the opposite of - what did we shave with today?

I'll start

I skipped today's shave as I used the ATT classic H1 whole of last week, then an M2 and thought about giving my face a day to rest before the weekday starts, as the ATT classic range being awesome razors can get overwhelming at times.

I didn’t shave today. I literally have to shave six days a week for work, Saturday is like a sabbath for my face.

I did not shave today, nor the last several days, because I am out camping. I only shave about once a week when camping.

COVID life/work style has changed my game from shaving usually 5 days a week and probably skipping the weekend. I haven’t been shaving as much definitely not 5 days. I guess it’s laziness because I’m not “meeting my public” No other reason really. Often I’ve been showering and shaving at night something I’d never do pre C. Currently I haven’t shaved in 3 days.

Typically, I shave every 48 hours because I dont need to shave any sooner.

When I skip it's because of my 48-hour beard "rule": My shaves go better with at least 2 days of growth. Since there are 7 days in a week and I don't feel like keeping track over 14, I usually shave on Sunday as well as Tues., Thurs., and Sat.

Nope! Nada!!

No skipping here because I enjoy my shaves too much.

I skip my shaves because I’m lazy and just don’t feel like shaving. In a business setting I’d need a shave every day, in reality I shave ever 3/4 days because that’s how I feel. Although sometimes 2/3 weeks go by and I still haven’t shaved.

I don’t like skipping, but sometimes I have to. Friday I woke up late and dawdled around too much. I found myself ready to shave with 30 minutes left to get to work. Since it’s a 25 minute drive and I still wasn’t dressed, the shave was skipped.

Vanity. Must still mask up for church, so nobody can see my scruffy nurferter mug. Gives my face a break too.

Because although retirement is on the medium horizon, it seems puberty hasn't quite hit yet and I have to wait two days to have enough peach fuzz to shave.

It’s a lazy Sunday. May still whip out the straight razor later but heading out for brunch with some friends soon. If I have a few drinks I won’t shave.

I shave as often as possible. I'm a firm believer in the old adage: "The shorter the whisker, the better the shave". You can't let those little devils get leverage on you or they start to tug back.

I didn’t shave yesterday as I was busy. Also, I had a very close Friday shave with a bit of irritation so felt my face could use a rest.

I figure I shave 6.5 times a week on average. I might miss a Sat or Sun shave every couple of weeks.

 

[Kyle89]

Ok well decided not to shave today. For 1 I had a drink with lunch, and plan on having a few more beers. 2nd, even though I love to shave every day, knocking down more than 1 days growth is so fun and satisfying. Looking forward to it tomorrow.

No, wait! I didn't skip today because I (almost) never skip a shave.

I skip one shave a week because I can.

 

[ksblazer]

In general I shave about 4 times a week.

I think it's mostly due to that my face cannot handle a 3 pass shave everyday.

I have thought about trying a 2 pass shave for everyday and seeing how that turns out?

But since I prefer to shave in the mornings. It cuts into me sleep time on days I work.

Third day i skipped a shave. I am planning to attack the growth with a Karve G plate !

I switched from a 3 pass shave to a 2 pass shave and it’s worked really well for me and saves a lot of time. The skin on my neck is fairly prone to irritation, so I get a tiny bit more irritation that way, and the occasional weeper, but it’s worth it for me for the time I save. And it really is a minor difference.

Go slow your first time and see what your skin thinks.
