You can use the extra time for perusing your shave stash and planning your next shave.

Ah well, not too much of a shave stash yet but that is definitely something I could work on while waiting for my beard to grow

I look forward to shaving with my str8s. I HATED the M-3 thing and the electrics, but I still don't like the concept of shaving in general as opposed to going caveman/Isrealite/Carl Marks/C.T Russell. My skin is of the very sensitive type so I go no less than two days between shaving and get a better shave the longer I go - three days if possible and more if on rare occasion I can get away with it. When I have to shave again I thank the heavens that I have str8s and enjoy every second, still I'd rather not - but I do know what you mean.
Ain't it the truth.The problem with a really good shave is that it's good for two days. That means one day without shaving
Even though I regularly only shave every other day, my non-shaving day is often spent feeling the stubble and thinking about the coming shave.
Well ... not the WHOLE day, but you get my point.

As I read that I realized that I've been sitting feeling my stubble all day as well. This could be serious
Shave every day anyway. Then you don't have to fret...

ahh, caught in the act. I was doing the same.
perhaps this will cause my palms to get hairy
...i could shave them too
I find myself playing a game every day. How long will it be before I have a 5 o'clock shadow today??
haha, same here. this morning I was contemplating a shave for tonight because I can usually feel stubble within 12 hrs, but decided against it. cleaned the Fatboy instead so I can give it a go.

You poor bastard!

I shave every day even though I could probably get by with every other day. It seems easier and quicker to shave every day. Two days and it takes 3 passes. One day and one or two passes does the job.

. . .I must say though - nothing stops me from telling everyone I can about shaving with my straights on the days off.
Man, I look forward to my morning shave. I can't skip a day, no matter how close I cut it the previous morning. The choice among brushes, razors, soaps, creams ***, EDTs, lotions, it's like a waiting gourmet buffet and it's all good. Got some good music on and it's my time to get into the zone.

Yeah, I've talking about leaving my beard for a day to rest the skin but haven't been able too yet . 24 h seems to be enough healing time for me though and as I'm getting better I don't have to worry about nicks and irritation any more.
. 24 h seems to be enough healing time for me though and as I'm getting better I don't have to worry about nicks and irritation any more.I shave every other day so I look forward to being able to shave off some growth and hear that, shrrrrrrrrk, sound. I can't do that with a daily shave
2 days requires 3-4 passes for me, so I normally shave every day using 2-3 passes. I could "get by" with a 1 pass every day, but I like to get it a little smoother, and my neck hates ATG or XTG so I just do 2 or 3 WTG on it.
Isn't it great to have a day off from shaving? A good DE shave lasts me 2 days. Gotta love that. 
I've never had that problem. A really good shave is only good for 12-15 hours for me.The problem with a really good shave is that it's good for two days. That means one day without shaving

You lucky ...
If only do WTG my face feels like a sandpaper after 12h too. If I do a more serious shave it's really smooth for a bit more than 24 h. Maybe I should stop trying to achieve those really good shaves
