I'm kind of backwards. I generally shave right after work. I work very early. My shift starts at 5:15am but I live pretty far (32 miles from work) and I work at a large company with off site parking so I have to take a bus from the employee lot to the building so I am up at 3am every day. Too early for me to shave. I find it a nice relaxing wind down from my day and shave mid afternoon or at night.
Circle of Night Shavers. Are you one? Why?

I never really gotten into the morning shave routine. I had a beard (or at least a goatee) for many years and when I did shave there was not a set schedule.
I prefer to shave at night before bed for several reasons previously mention. I can take my time and if I get a nick, it's healed by morning. Also, I'm blond, so my afternoon whiskers aren't as noticeable.

I like to shave in the evening at around 9:00 pm plenty of time to enjoy it and a love the feel of the pillow under my recently shaved head

Night shaver here. We have one bathroom and four of us to get ready between 5:30 and 6:10 am...also more peaceful after the kids go to bed 
I am one.
In summer I usually drag myself out of bed at 430 so I shave at night. Winter I'm on call and usually weird schedule so I shave when ever I can. Usually night.
Work days and nights at work. The days start at 06:00 and it's too early to be up shaving. I prefer the 19:30 put four year old to bed then have nice leisurely shave and shower. Head down stairs afterward for an hour or two of TV watching with SWMBO.
I shave at night because I enjoy it. Shaving is like putting a bow on a completed day. It's like taking off your shoes and relaxing, like sitting in silence with one you love. And it's slightly practical as well. It give the old mug a few hours to rejuvenate. And if your getting BBS smooth its not like the beard will be back that quick. I still get a five o'clock shadow later in the day but its actually much less than the one I used to get when cart. shaving in the morning.
Plus it's a 45 minute period of my time, uninterrupted and peaceful.

Totally agree. I just finished my shave and now it's bed time. So relaxed.
The dome gets shaved at night. Every night. After my shower and shave I hang out with the misses and a tasty beverage.
I shave every night after midnight. Retired insomniac here. The shower/shave experience is so very relaxing, especially with a few certain soaps and splashes.
I almost exclusively shave at night. Too rushed in the AM.
I'm an occasional night shaver. It depends on my day. My morning shave is normally around 5am. If I have early evening plans I'll try to sneak in a shave between 3pm & 6pm. When I have evening plans, I'll shave a second time around 8 or 9pm so I don't look like a bum when the lights come on at last call.
Night shaving is just way more relaxing for me after a Long day.
I shower at night so I shave at night. I need to give my skin some time to heal before work
I exclusively shave in the evening/night.
I have to be up at 3AM and out the door by 3:45AM for work. The last thing I want to be doing is hurriedly scraping a razor blade across my jugular vein while half asleep.
After I get home and ready for bed around 8PM or so, the bathroom is free and I can take all the time in the world for a relaxing shave after my shower. I'm almond scented fiend and find that scent to be very relaxing and soothing before bed.
Plus, I get to climb into bed with my wife, all smooth, clean, and soft.
Even on my off days, I prefer to shave at night. I just like the way my face feels the next morning. Like the extra sleep and rest gave my face some much needed rejuvenation.

I work nights, so i mainly shave at night. However i do a few morning shaves here and there and when I'm off. Is that good enough to count as being one of the CONS?
Also i don't have the same routine as most. I like to shower after work before going to bed so i am clean in bed. Then when i get up for work i just shave and clean up a little. Always feels better to get into bed clean.
So i don't have the whole face prep shower deal of most. Mainly just a hot water splash with a wash.

Great way to end the day!!! With a wife and 4 kids, I don't like having to fight for bathroom time so I tend to shave at night.
Wednesday and Friday after work and Sunday morning before church.
Had an incredibly relaxing shave last night before bed.
My wife was all cozy on the couch, the puppy was passed out after a long day of running around, and I was just winding down from a long day at work. I did a slow and enjoyable, 2 pass shave with some touch up that left my face BBS.
I love shaving at night. No rush, distractions, or my wife trying to get in and do her thing. Plus, I get to use some heavy moisturizers that I can leave on my face over night without worrying about looking like an oil slick in public.
