    BigMark Tests razors by shaving Wookies

    Do you fellows find that if a blade is sharper that it is best to shave every other day instead of every day? I know I can only find out what works for me by experimenting but I was curious what you guys do.

    I find shaving everyday is more comfortable. The shorter stubble shaves off better with fewer passes.

    About five years ago I shaved my head for a while because my 2 year old grandson lost his hair due to chemo therapy. I am glad I do not have to shave my head. I found it a chore to shave my head at the time. I am glad I have a full head of hair and don't need to shave it. I will stick to my face.

    I shave every couple days. I find it overkill to shave every day in my case. it would help me get thru product a little faster and I wouldn't have to wait to try the different samples. it's killing me lol!

    I do about 50/50. I shave 4 to 5 times a week usually. I definitely get closer and more comfortable shaves on 48 hours' growth.

    I'm usually a night time shower/shaver. My usual routine is Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and occasionally Saturday morning if I have a social engagement that evening.

    My husband generally shaves his head every day. His preferred blade is Feather.

    I shave every day, using a Feather or Astra blade.

    I usually shave 3-4 time a week Mom, Wed, Fri and sometime one weekend day. Although for the last two weeks I've been shaving pretty much everyday, just because. While I kind of think the shave is easier if I shave everyday, either way it still takes about the same amount of time.:) My blades of choice are Vikings Sword and Astra SP.

    Been shaving my dome everyday for the past 8 years after my widows peak became dangerously peaky :angry019: lol. I find it best shaving Ed as the hair is always short and easier for the blade to take it off. I sometimes use a brush and shave soaps on it or just cremo cream. Using head blade now. :)

    I find that the back of my head and neck rash up if I shave everyday. The rest of my head seems easier if I have the extra day worth of growth for the blade to catch. 2 pass mostly with the grain is how I get a shiny dome. XTG and ATG just don't work as well on my head as they do on my face. I haven't been shaving M head long enough to be able to pull off those angles yet.

    I had that problem at first and I remedied it by applying moisturizer to my head after every shave. Hope this helps

    I use nivia sensitive aftershave to help. I've also started using coconut oil as a preshave and my whole head worth of skin seems so much softer and moister.

    Nivea aftershave is indeed a great product and the coconut oil is also great, I also use oils in my rotation. I have found shave secret and vitamin e oil which also contains coconut oil to be fantastic.

    I truly love the feel of my head freshly shaven, especially against the grain. So in a perfect world I would shave it everyday as a couple of people mentioned, time becomes a factor for me. If I have a couple of extra minutes it's happening. So I always shave it on Sundays so I have that shine at church, it's a beacon for my kids to see where we're sitting when they come in late :)

    Funny. Our auditorium holds about 1500, but there are so many men embracing the bald look these days that I don't stand out at all. Our Jr. High pastor had a bunch of us over to watch the games last weekend, and he was the only man there with hair. The other 4 of us all had shaved heads.
