Hygiene questions -- shaving and showering (with a poll)

Kiss My Face makes really good shaving creams and products. Above: mint.

I have shaved in the shower for years for the reasons others have said they do. I used to use a fog-free mirror, but like someone else said, I found I didn't need it.

 

Precisely. I shave in the shower and welcome the extra time under the warm water. No nicks or cuts, either.

 

I shower in the mornings and take a bath at night. I wax nowadays, so no shaving for me!

EDIT: Oh, and Zeke, I'd hit on you, but then your girlfriend would hunt me down and kill me. I'm trying to lessen the number of women who want to do that this year.

 

Yeah, how many guys shave every day?

My whiskers don't grow fast enough to do so, even though I'd prefer that. I usually only shave every four days, maybe three, but that's pushing it. I usually wind up looking like someone tried to slit my throat.

 

I have one of those in-shower shave mirrors, which I bought on the advice of a former co-worker. I love shaving in the shower...every time I have to do it sink-ways, I feel like I'm scratching my face with a bowie knife.

My shower frequency is troubling, as a three-shower day isn't out of the question for me. I'll take one after getting up, one after the gym and then sometimes one before bed just 'cause. And they're always long showers. I fucking love showering, though I can't fully explain why.

I used to shave every other day, but about a month ago I decided to get lazy and grow a beard. I was going to get rid of it, but I started getting compliments from people in the office and such, and since my concept of self-respect is predicated completely on what other people think of me, I've more or less kept it. I go over it with a trimmer about once a week or so, keeping it neat and orderly and somewhat less pubic-looking.

 

On those nice, long Army camping trips, it's cold water or no water. Most of the time, no water or shaving cream.

 

What's the trick to shaving the back-of-neck fuzz without alterling the follicle landscape on the head?

 

I don't shave every day, shave maybe five times a week and catch shit from my wife about having too much stubble on the days I don't shave.

 

No shaving here. I use a beard trimmer once per week for the House 5 o'clock shadow. I do look better with stubble, but shaving also gives me a rash on my neck. I'd rather look scruffy than have a rash.

Shower in the morning unless I'm doing yard work.

 

A good hand-held mirror and a steady hand.

 

I'd have to if I wanted to do it. I don't mind for the right occasion or whatever have you, but usually I run around with a beard. My face can't take repeated shaving.

I look pretty bad either way, so no big difference.

 

Lots of visuals for Ragu to contemplate.
