I can get away with every other day. Sometimes I do that, sometimes I shave every day, mostly for the experience, and the chance to rotate through my razors.
I like myself better when I shave every day, but I don't have to like myself that much every single day. It gets tiresome, all that self-directed adulation.
Hey all! I have found so much insight from this group over my wet shaving journey, thought I would bring up something that has been plaguing me for a while...I CANNOT shave everyday without destroying my skin. If I give it 3 days growth, I am stellar, but anything less than that and my skin...
With carts I was shaving Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then I discovered SR shaving and enjoyed it so much that I now shave every morning. I also shave some evenings (although it is not readily needed) when I have lodge or one of my girlfriends is coming to visit.
At least three passes every shave. Why not do something you enjoy, if you have the time.
When I worked, it was every work day. Now that I am retired, it is every other day.
I no longer make a big event out of it with shaving soap, a mug, a badger brush, and multiple passes. Lately, I have been using some no name shave gel from Dollar Tree in the shower. I slather some on with my fingers and make a pass or two with the razor. I still use a safety razor, though.
Welp, ever since Mar2020 when I got assigned to work from home, I now only shave every weekend before putting on a suit and heading to Mass. And it's a glorious start to the day!
But I reckon I'll start doing Wednesdays too, just for the enjoyment.
