Would this be weird
Would this be weird
A while back I wanted to shave in the evening for only one reason, to test a new - to me - razor I had been waiting for. Didn't really plan to shave, I do that every morning, but this particular time I only did it for fun. It was only one pass. I called it a joy shave (reference: a joy ride is when you jump in the car and take off. For fun, not to get anywhere, just for the joy of the experience.) That describes why I shaved with that razor that day. I just might start taking a joy shave whenever I want to. How about you guys?

I can't do a one pass shave. It's just a waste of time for me.

Re: Would this be weird
In various cultures, men shave when they get home from work or before dinner. This way they are well groomed for their social lives and a bit scruffy at work. Whatever makes you happy.

No, I don't vary my shaving routine which has been fixed for years.

I shave when I feel like it ....... never more than once a day. Sometimes in the evening, sometimes in the morning, sometimes mid-day, sometimes late afternoon. Mostly, I am a morning shaver though. ymmv.
Re: Would this be weird
I shave almost every morning. Probably haven't shaved in the evening more than a couple of times in the past two years. I prefer to shower in the morning so a shave goes with the routine. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Best regards,
Basil

Re: Would this be weird
For the most part this is me as well. I find that shaving in the early morning is always best for me. My skin seems to like it better than if I wait until some time after 7 AM. I don't know why. I speculate because that's what I've done for years but who knows.jww wrote:I shave when I feel like it ....... never more than once a day.

Never felt the need to shave more often.

Re: Would this be weird
My skin is pretty delicate, so I only shave three times a week and my skin needs the recovery time. I don't throw in any extra shaves for fun because it would be a setback for me. I see no reason why someone couldn't do this if it suited him.

Re: Would this be weird
ditto on the wendell routine
for a long time i was a late afternoon / early evening shaver and then for some reason i switched to the morning, however lately Ive found myself gravitating back to the late afternoon. There is something 'nice' about pillowcasing with a clean face haha

Re: Would this be weird
I don't find it in the least weird. I shave when the mood takes me, mostly. Sometimes I'm forced to grab a quick shave when the opportunity presents itself. I shave twice in a day sometimes, again, if the mood takes me.
I can shave twice a day if I choose -- my whiskers will grow to a shaveable length in twelve hours. I am, however, just as likely to skip a day shaving for no more reason than mood. I enjoy shaving and consider it a highlight of my day. I remember reading a post awhile ago linking shaving and meditation. Well, that's me -- I really find that shaving is my meditation time. I relish the fact that there is a part of my day that is wholly given over to me time.
As a poster on another site puts it, "the world must stop and hold it's breath. I'm shaving and when I decide I'm ready, I'm Ready"

Re: Would this be weird
I am a bbs fanatic so I do it after showers when the beard is thoroughly softened. I sometimes dry shave the stubble on my jaw because it's there and no where else in the afternoon.

Re: Would this be weird
In my case, the shave is closer and smoother, better overall, if I shave after the morning shower. I'm pretty sure it is a result of the obvious fact that the whiskers are waterlogged.

Re: Would this be weird
I just dont like the feeling of the left over stubble of a one pass !!
Re: Would this be weird
I shave normally in the mornings. I have been known to...when I have a social event in the evening...shave in the evening. I simply cannot shave right before bed like some do. My beard grows to fast and is too dark for it. By 10am the next day...it would be a complete waste.
Re: Would this be weird
Hi all, I Shave in the afternoon or Evening. No time in the morning to enjoy a NICE Shave.
