How often do you shave?

    Inspired by the recent shower thread. How often do fellow boards members
    shave their face, beards , <insert_here>. This includes the wimmins too:pac:

    I hate even the smallest amount of stubble on my face, so out comes the
    cold hard steel across my face every single morning.

    Notice I have not included a poll. The effort expended is far greater than
    the return on investment imo.

    Opinions people !

    Actually, I hate being clean shaven! I use a hair shaver thing to keep me in a state of perpetual ruggedness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Poccington


    I have to shave every morning because of work.

    So when I don't have to shave at all on the weekend, it's heaven.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Usually every two days... sometimes i forget :/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    I have to shave 3 times a day or I look like Desperate Dan in drag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,158 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    I shave Monday - Friday and on weekends for special occassions. :D

    When I was in construction I would shave once a week. I was like grizzly adams.

    Shave the legs every day. Hate the feeling of unsmooth legs! Eugh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    Daily. Give me a nice sharp blade, my Merkurs, a decent badger brush and proper shaving cream and it's not a chore but rather enjoyable.

    Anyone sick of paying mad money for fusion/mach blades should check the Facial Hair forum on Boards. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    5 times some weeks, then not for 2 months, sometimes leave goatee. Once let goatee grow for a year and a half.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭Sage'sMama


    I don't know how to answer this thread! Once a week and every two days. At least men only have to worry about their face! Well most men anyways.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,510 ✭✭✭Hazys


    Nearly everyday.

    Sometimes i dont bother if i was out the night before, just to top off the hungover look


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    Haven't shaved in a while now :D Well, 'cept to stop a tash forming too. Does that count?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano

    Only if you're female.

    Seriously?

    Why would you need to shave twice a day? unless you are a warewolf?

    Every morning in the shower!

    Oh and I think stubble is so hot on a guy! I hate a clean shavin man!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 654 ✭✭✭sillyputty


    Shave my legs every other day and underarms every morning in the shower.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    If I'd want nothing on my face, I could get away with twice a week.

    I'm a scruffy bastard though so I leave it till people start giving out.

    I shave on workdays only. I'd love to grow a beard but I'd be fired.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭Sage'sMama


    My hby2b is going through his facial hair phase! :(:D Okay he still is drop dead gorgeous to me but god it leaves a rash!:eek:


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    At least twice, sometimes three times a day.

    Wifey hates getting burned in awkward places. Sharing the love. ;)

    3-4 times a week, skins pretty sensitive so hate it, but the gf hates facial hair so if I want to get some... ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I get the beard trimmer out maybe after 3 days to keep the stubble down and probably do a proper "clean" shave once a week. My skin just can't take it. 24 hours and you can tell I haven't shaved. But if I do a full shave more than once every four days, I bleed everywhere. And that's with an electric razor. With a blade I look like a horror movie extra.

    Same here. I'd say there have been about 2 occasions over the last two years that I've shaved.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 711 ✭✭✭who007


    Once a week (cos I hated it) till I found the "why are razors so bloody expensive" thread and got into proper wetshaving. Now it's a really enjoyable pastime and I shave about 4 times a week. Now I love it :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,828 ✭✭✭unklerosco


    I gave up shaving about 6 months ago, can't stand it... Grew a beard instead. Trim it once a week/fortnight, depends on the weather and the moon...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Due to an accident with some industrial strength lasers when I was a teenager I no longer have to shave my face.

    The compo has kept me in style for some time now!

    Twice a week, not one for the total shaven feel.:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    I'll have decent regrowth within 24 hours, usually accompanied with the onset of a shaving rash. These days I've a tendancy to shave, then let it grow out for a few weeks into a full beard, then shave it again. Rinse and repeat, the shave that it results in is a lot smoother and rash free, shaving over a shaving rash is one of the most horrible feelings :(

    I'll also shave if I've something to shave for; a night out, a holiday etc. I had a full beard until today, which I shaved as I want to have a nice stubble look for my trip to Paris next week :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,984 ✭✭✭Degag


    I hate being clean shaven also... if i'm going out on a saturday night i might shave on a thursday so i'll have the unshaven look but won't look unkempt. After 5 days though i need one badly.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,635 ✭✭✭tribulus


    Monday to Friday. I don't actually need to but it gave me some routine to my day when I was only working twice a week.

    Also as Gran Hermano says, a good safety razor, blade, and soothing cream makes shaving much less of a chore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    Twice in the last ~20 years and NEVER AGAIN......

    I always have a 5 o'clock shadow.

    When I was in school (I started shaving a lot earlier then the rest of the lads in my year) I would shave 3 times a week.

    Now in College I only shave once a week.

    I hate being clean shaven but I dont like having a beard just stubble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,591 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    Every week day for work and maybe on a Sunday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 679 ✭✭✭Steo46


    only on monday mornings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 349 ✭✭li@mo


    every 5 days and special occasions


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    Hehe, I haven't shaved in about 6 months. I keep it trimmed about every second week though :)

    I hate shaving, I hate the look and I hate the feeling...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    Face: Every 2 days
    Ball sack: Every 2 weeks
    Ass: When it gets so long my poo sticks to it and I end up with dingleberries.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Every 2-3 days. Would shave more often, but I'm very stubbly and would be in ribbons if I had to shave every day. Don't have to for work, thankfully.

    I'm pretty much the same, except make it about 2 or 3 years instead of 6 months.
    The trim can some times be up to a month and i look really scruffy then

    Bit of White Spirit worked well into the rusty bullet hole, apply the Bic lighter, and the tagnuts will just melt away.

    Squat over the Metro or the Blanch gazette to take the dribbins,and your hole will be as smooth as Mary Harney's buttcheeks.
