What's new

Going for 8 in a Row - Your Record?

Shaves that is, Men. I have the technique down now that I can shave everyday. I am thrilled to have shaved that many days and still feel good. I just ordered a Merkur 1904/1906 Open Comb Classic. How many days have you Gents shaved in a row?

Keep the BBS passion high!

I did manage to shave every day in 2011, but that is old news.

Good to hear that you are enjoying the new method- keep up the great work!
 
I shaved every day for 6 months then it got to a point where I was like meh, I'm over it. Now I'm trying the Monday-Friday thing and taking the weekends off. The last couple of months I was shaving every other day, but it got annoying.
 
I don't bother counting, I can shave every day and only get problems when I'm getting used to a new product or if I mess up.

But it's really great to see another person rejoicing that they can finally shave every day where they couldn't before wet shaving. It says a lot about the community here and how much we help each other. Oh, and that wet shaving is obviously better than the alternatives. ;)

I used to with an electric... Now with DE I only need to shave every other day. Well, every day and a half really.
 
8 is awesome. I shave everyday of the work week and most Saturdays. I usually skip Sunday.

Before I converted I was shaving every 2-3 days and getting razor burn in the process.

I don't like feeling unshaven, I normally only take off a handful of days in a year--could count on the fingers of one hand most years. I don't count, but obviously I have gone over 100 easily.

I am blessed with not very sensitive skin, I guess -- and have never suffered discomfort with soap and a DE past the first learning stage.
 
I could shave every day however I've found that my shaves are better if I shave every other day. I only shave back to back days if the occasion requires it. For work only, it's skip a day.
 
I follow Marcos grandfathers advice and shave daily. :001_smile

The only time I don't would be on the weekend if I pushed it too hard during the week and gave myself a good case of razor burn, fortunately that doesn't happen very often any more.
 
I don't keep track of such things, but my longest stretch is
prob. 12 days in a row.
I usually skip Sundays, sometimes Saturday too.
 
I have shaved every day for well over 5 years now, initially with carts, more recently with DE. I would never go without shaving, to me it's as integral a part of every day as getting dressed. In rare cases (maybe once every 6 months), I might forego a morning shave to shave later in day, but would always shave that day and the next. If I don't shave, I feel shabby in some way.

Thankfully, I have never experienced any problems.

Now half as wise
I can't remember the last day I didn't shave. I may only skip it 2 or 3 days a year, unless I'm sick in bed.
 
Every day for me. I'll occasionally skip a day, but very rarely. I also don't try to achive a BBS shave everyday which saves my face a bit.
