    Night?
    Morning?

    I'm having a hard time being on time for work.

    Usually, I shower @ night and shave A.M, but I'm thinking about doing the opposite.




    What is your routine?

    Shower then shave, usually first thing in the morning. However, over summer break I may do that mid-morning instead.

    I tend to usally take my showers in the AM. that being said If I am shaving I will shower in the PM. Since I am new to the trade it takes me more time to get that "good" shave that I am looking for. The one time that I did shave in the AM I had to wake up super early so that I would have enough time to shower and shave. I felt like a girl trying to get ready. So from now on I have decided to shave at night, until my shaving routine has gotten figure out.

    On work days, I shower before work and shave in the shower. On days off, I shower whenever and also shave in the shower.

    I shower and shave in the morning before work. I find it to be a soothing time before the pressures of the day, almost zen-like in it's meditative quality. As I read in someone's signature, alarm clocks are adjustable.:rolleyes:

    I shower twice a day (morning and evening) and only shave at mornings.When you get more practice you can shave in less than 10 minutes(3 pass shave).

    The "snooze" function is quite convenient though :D

    My wife complains that I am just as bad if not worse. However, she really doesn't know because I shower, shave, and all before she is even up in the morning.

    Yup.. I think I was getting close to 5 minutes. However now that I am working on straights I am back to 20 minutes.

    I shower 1-3 times a day pending schedule yard work, etc. always shower/shave in the morning. If I was late for work, i'd just get up earlier.

    Once a month, whether I need it nor not:happy102

    Really, I do my shower/shave in the evenings.

    I'm an evening guy for shower and shave. I like to go to bed clean and the shave relaxes me, which helps me fall alsleep. I also like getting into bed smell like my aftershave, particularily the effect it has on the woman sleeping next to me.

    I'm a late afternoon/evening shower'er and shaver. I love being able to take my time and relax after a long day.

    I shower at the end of my day, sometimes morning, sometimes night as I work a 12 hr. swing shift. This is usually before I go to bed. I shave in the shower also. I don't know why, but I sleep better when I go to bed after a nice warm shower.

    Glad I'm not the only one - my wife says I'm worse than a girl getting ready!

    Like ThePossum says in his sig... alarm clocks are adjustable, no reason why you can't set it 10 minutes earlier! :happy088

    I shower and shave before work - for 2 days in a row that's a 0345 wake up (used to be 0400 before my 'new' shaving routine) and a DE shave, then the next 2 days I don't go in until the afternoon, so I shower later in the morning, and straight razor shave since I have the extra time....

    But I always use my shower as my prep and do a tag team shower/then/shave instead of one in the am and one in the pm. Plus, my stubble won't allow me to shave a night for the next day of work - I'd be 5 O'Clock shadow by 9am! :D

    Evening for me. It is a nice way to finish the day. Whatever cologne I apply after my shave, I wil also wear the next day.

    Like Teiste, I also shave in the mornings.

    I regularly shaved in the mornings (with a cartridge-based razor for many years) before I switched to a DE, and it only takes me about an additional 5 minutes since I switched. So, I backed up my alarm by that amount and I've had no problems since then.
