    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.

    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

    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...

    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    Maybe twice a week tops... I love the 3 day look, but then keep starting from the beginning again... I should really get some kind of grooming shizzle that lets me look like that 24/7:cool:
