can you (should you) shave everyday with a str8t?

Take it easy at the beginning, especially if you don't really have to shave every day. Every other day is fine for the first few weeks, but you should then be able to shave daily, which is what most of us here do.

 

I just received my Dovo Bismarck earlier this week. I am in Finance and am required to shave every day except Saturday and Sunday. I find that it is very similar to when I started with DE's a couple of months ago. This was my plan (YMMV). I would shave with the Str8 as best as I could (Which is not fantastic but getting better) and finish with the DE.

I find that I get SO close a shave in areas that it does not fully grow in by the next day in some areas and hairy in others. So I continue to use the 2 razor system until I improve my technique.

I hope this helps.

 

Sure !

I started shaving a couple of weeks back, I kept stubble for a few years before. I wanted to start shaving again but didn't fancy the mach 3 or fusion bollocks that people use these days. Don't know why I thought of a straight but long term cost was a factor, plus yes, I think its cool.
I shaved every other day after a nice hot bath, hot towel. I shave wtg at the moment and one pass has been all thats needed.
To begin with a few spots got beheaded but hardly any discomfort. Last night I had a fantastic shave after reading some pointers within these forums. Not a single nick nor any hint of redness. I dont really need to shave everyday as i'm a blonde but I cannot see any reason why I could not shave everyday if I take as much care in the preparation as i did last night.
I use a Spartacus historic red stamina, dreadnought point 6/8, half grind.
In the whole deal so far I have only nicked my ear with the dreadnought tip. Poor situational awareness on my part. I see no reason not to shave with an open every day. Go ahead, get the beautiful seven day set you have seen !
