Can't skip the daily shave without severe set-backs.

[Mad Weiland]

Well, the title basically says it all.
If I skip my daily shave, even once,
I immediately begin to have skin problems.

For instance; I believe that the only exfoliation
my skin receives is through shaving and, as a result,
dry/dead skin tends build up on my cheeks and neck.
Also, skipping that day starts a chain reaction of
difficulties and irritations that take days to recover from but,
once I get back on track, I'm totally fine as long as I
don't miss a day.

Of course shaving every day is not a problem because,
I generally have truly excellent and enjoyable results.
Its just annoying not having any freedom.

Any body else have this problem?

I don't know. I virtually never skip a day.

Same here! Due to my job, I feel the need to shave every day to be presentable in a professional environment. I suppose you have no choice in the matter to enjoy each morning then!

I find that if I skip a day it does seem to throw things off a bit but not in terms of skin care or anything like that. It's more like I feel less prepared to handle whatever is going to happen that day and maybe a bit less motivated. Therefore, I rarely skip on a work day.

Its like, you never know how good you had it until you're miserable.

Maybe if it is just exfoliation you face needs, just try scrubbing your face with a shave brush (a boar since it is scritchier) and see what happens. Of course that would be a waste of lather but you could use a regular body soap instead of a shave soap or a cream. But maybe it's a combination of exfoliation and shave that helps your skin.

I fully agree. I am convinced that the combination of face
lathering and shaving is extremely beneficial for my skin.
