shaving 2x day - dilemma

[moontroll]

My dilemma: Like most of us, I prefer to start my day off with a clean shave. However by late evening I've built up a good amount of prickly stubble. My girlfriend prefers me clean & smooth before we sleep . But I can't shave again. I'm just getting my technique to the point of no irritation or burn, but my face won't stand up to the ritual twice in 24 hours. Any brilliant solutions?

Get the done before work. That way she can have you smooth faced and you can have a smile on your face all day!

If that does not help then you could also grab a bit of in your lunch hour. Come bed time she will be too tired to care whether of not your face is smooth and you can get a good night's sleep ready for the ritual agin the next day!

Everyone is happy.

If I have to choose between being clean shaven in the a.m. and I choose the
Shave in the evening before bed.

Have you tried gaffing off the morning shave a little? Do one less pass than usual or don't go ATG; your co-workers won't notice the difference, and you face will be primed for that aggressive evening shave!

1 WTG pass in the morning and a second shave at night. This is exactly what i do when I want to shave more than once in 24 hours.

However, weekdays I wake up pretty early (0445) and go to sleep pretty late (~12) so I typically on do this on a weekend when i can sleep in a bit.

Good idea...single pass in the morning, perfect all-out shave in the evening.

Demand that she shaves twice a day as well! That should stop that bull crap.

Avoiding sailors? Yeah, that will definitely help save your marriage.

Also, I'd go with a very light 1 or 2 pass shave in the morning with a DE... Then again, my straight shaves last me till 7 or 8 o clock most of the time. Just kidding, I'm not sure if they last that long. The girl who got me my straight was gone before I could master the technique. But it still feels smooth around 5 - much smoother than my DE shaves, which I never quite mastered.

Well, I am still in the honeymoon stage so this is more a prediction than speaking from experience. I have, however, been assured by my married colleagues that all good things come to an end...

Right now, I still get a detailed inspection after each shave.

Get a new girlfriend, there are plenty that like a little stubble.

it's the jellybean principle:
for every in your first two years of marriage, put a jellybean in a jar. from the third year onward, every gets one jellybean taken out of the jar. the joke goes that no man has ever emptied the jar.

I always heard the joke as "put a penny in each time in the first year of marriage, take a nickel out every time thereafter....."

Seriously dude, if she is this uptight now, you are never going to get any later.
Find a girl who appreciates a little stubble now and then, and you for who you are.
