An evening shave

brothers · Post by **brothers** » Sat Feb 16, 2013 11:22 am

Things worked out a few days ago when I didn't shave in the morning, Waited until the workday was done, then after dinner, enjoyed a leisurely and luxurious shave. Next morning, was pleasantly surprised to feel only a very mild stubble, so I did the same thing again. Makes it nice! I'll do it this way for a while.

Hi Gary -

I do evening shaves because I, too, have noticed it's still close in the morning and because I can take my time and make more of an event of it.

Another evening shaver. Almost never shave in the morning unless I'm off. Too much of a rush as I need to be at work early in the morning

When I have something going on the next day and I'll be pressed for time in the AM, I shave the night before. It works fine!

I've done almost the same thing.

I work out of my home so some days I might not get my shower until late afternoon. On those days I will often shave.

Like the others here I have not problem going out in the morning without shaving again after a morning shower. The only exception to that would be if I have to go out in the morning and will be gone all day. With that in mind I will shave in the morning. But it usually will only be a one, maybe two pass shave.

shaving is not just for the morning anymore!

i must admit i like afternoon shaves the best

Weird I always shave at evening. Never shave in the morning. Just prefer to go sleep feeling fresh:)

I have a preference for early afternoons, but the joy of the evening shave is certainly understood.

I think more gents should give it a try!.

I'm such a creature of habit that I can't start my day without shaving. I suppose that if I worked nights that my day would begin in the evening, in which case I'd shave then. Regardless, I insist on shaving every day unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as being in a coma or on a desert island without my shaving gear. There is no better feeling in my book than a good close shave, irrespective of when one shaves.

Just before bed for me. It's always nice and quiet very relaxing.

Even before my children arrived I was an evening shaver. I used to get a lot of irritation, by the morning most of that would subside and as my stubble is quite slow growing I'd still look presentable. I don't get so much irritation now but I still prefer evening or afternoon shaves as I really hate having to rush it.

My children also make a morning shave impossible...

I often shave in the evening. Especially nice just before I retire for bed.

After all the years of waking up with a grizzly bear face, it's a bit shocking to wash my face the first thing in the morning and have it feel smooth and clean shaven, with only a few bits of stubble. OK, I still look like a grizzly bear. I guess I can't change that!

While I was in the military; Every Morning. Now; every evening. I don't have to be so close shaven so shaving in the evening/night works great for me.

What can I say, it's a great way to start the evening.

I am too an evening shaver... I like to take long shaves with the prep and all that, so nighttime is a great time for it....
Also, going to bed clean shaven is a nice feeling.... I really hate to rush a shave.

Morning shaves for me are the usual routine and I will very seldomly ever head out of the house without a shave. I do find that I like to have a little time from rolling out of bed before I take up the razor, seems to give a chance for the face to relax and loose some of its night time puffiness. I wonder if all you evening shavers are sort of enjoying the same effect by forgoing the morning shave.

Any days we have an evening social event I do like to shave in the evening but by plan I will go a bit lighter in the morning. After more than five years of celebrating the whole wet shaving revival with you gents I think I have only gone unshaven for a day once or twice.

I'm going on 4 months of shaving in the late evening, when things are quiet and I have all the time it takes to do it right. This seems to be working out very well.
