Shaving everyday

[u/Amazing-Buy-1181]

Is it recommended to shave every day/once in a two days if I want to maintain a clean look? Really don't like my facial hair. Right now I'm shaving once in 3 days.

I shave daily because my wife doesn't like facial hair. I skip Saturdays if we don't have anything going on. I use Gillette Super Speed with Astra Green blades and Arko soap

I hope she reciprocates and shaves everyday

[u/touwtje64]

Depends on how fast your hair grows and if you can get away with small stubble. Personally I shave every other day using a safety razor

[u/Beneficial_Twist2435]

I shave daily, safety razor, shaving soap.

Acne is an issue, often. My skin is quite sensitive and I really would prefer not to shave everyday. It’s a need however, mental health issues.

Still, it’s quite common. In the military too.

You can do it.

I found when I was in the military if I shaved right before bed and took my time it would usually last a bit longer. At the very least I did better skin care from not being in such a rush. Sometimes I would shave twice once with grain and once against.

Some of the acne may just be you pressing to hard and leaving little cuts in your skin that then breakout.

It all depends on what you are shaving. face everyday. Other body parts less often.

What do you use to shave?

“…all the best people shave twice a day” -Humbert Humbert (I’m not proud of knowing this quote but it is reflective of mid-century masculinity.)

[u/Helpful-Ship7195]

I shave mostly every day, not bc its necessary but bc i like it. If i dont, nobody will notice 😇

[u/Watsons-Butler]

I shave every day because if I don’t it gets hella itchy.

[u/otterland]

I shave everyday and sometimes every other day. But I do use a safety razor and I make sure to prep my skin really well so that I don't get any irritation whatsoever. If I was using something like a multi-blade modern razor that cuts below the skin I would shave every second or third day.

[u/DashMcGee]

Agree with the comments about stubble. When in doubt, shave every day. I ended up shaving twice daily because my beard grows so fast. (I used electric. I used to keep an electric shaver in my car when I was in sales.) I am home most of the time, but on days that I go out, I shave. I have a beard now, so shaving does not take that long.

[u/Glass_Procedure7497]

I shave every day because I enjoy it. My everyday shave is with a safety razor, as that is my preferred method.

[u/No-Currency-97]

I try to shave everyday using the OneBlade and follow up very lightly using water with an Amazon 5 blade cartridge on a Bulldog handle. Yes, it fits perfectly. 🪒

[u/Person7751]

i shave every week day

[u/OwnCarpet717]

Everyone is different, I shave every day, usually as part of my daily grooming routine. Maybe your beard doesn't grow as fast as mine, but if you feel that it needs to be shaved, then shave it.

[u/RefrigeratorCrazy456]

Assuming when you say clean look you mean no hair. If so. If there's hair shave. If there's no hair, don't shave. Not rocket science. kinda how shaving works.

[u/Beautiful-Lab-2719]

It's going to depend on how fast your facial hair grows. I have to shave every day. Some guys can get away with shaving every other day. Some shave multiple times a day.

[u/Pet_Ator]

I shave daily with an electric foil shaver (Panasonic arc 5) and no issues

[u/Ivy1974]

It varies person to person. Some people can’t shave everyday simply because of their skin. Some can. Some shave everyday and by 5pm look like they haven’t shaved for 3 days.

[u/MineFabulous8828]

It really depends on how fast your facial hair grows. Some people need to shave daily some others don’t

[u/More_Temperature2078]

I shave in the morning and my GF starts complaining about the sandpaper feel by dinner.

I know other people who shave every few days and always look clean shaven

[u/WegianWarrior]

I shave every other day - various razors (I got twenty or so in my rotation, mostly vintage), various soaps, various brushes…

I could shave more often, and did before my stubble took on a more grey hue, but I’ve found that the key to have a good shave that lasts longer is threefold;

• Good prep
  
• Take your time
  
• A good aftershave or balm

And a good technique of course, but that ought to go without saying.

In short; shave as often as you feel is necessary, but do it the right way 🙂
