More than once a day?

    Even with a DFS in the morning, I've got the 5 o'clock shadow. I never gave it much thought before, but maybe a single pass shave in the evening is warranted. Do any of you regularly shave more than once a day?

    How early in the day do you notice the 5:00 shadow?

    Other end of the bell curve here. If I get a DFS or better I'm more than 24 hours before enough stubble makes me need a shave.

    I am a night shaver, except for weekends. Then I like to drink coffee, take my time, bowl lather and enjoy myself. On those days, if I,have something going on in the evening, I will shave again.

    Honestly, no. Just because it's called "5:00 shadow" doesn't mean that's when the OP notices it.

    I find that I stay smoother longer into the day now than when I used carts. My wife has noticed this, also.
    So, no, I only shave once a day, every day.

    I used to occasionally shave twice daily until I improved my technique. I shave daily around 3:15am. I begin to feel stubble on my chin around 5pm, but nothing anyone can see. I'm good until next morning.

    Rarely do I shave twice in a day. Generally only if I'm going out on a date.

    Well, it's more of a 6 o'clock shadow, really. And only on some days. I'm thinkng that on those days I could add an evening shave.

    After about 16 hours I feel it. But I work night shift and I shave usually about 1:30 am. But it's not noticeable on me. So I as well only shave once a day. But my 1912 ER seems to shave even the pores down :D

    Once a day, usually in the morning around 4 or 5. I enjoy starting my day shaved.:)

    Maybe shaving with something more efficient like a R41 will keep you smoother longer? :)

    I always wondered what the story was behind the 5:00 shadow.

    I shave morning only. Depending on the result, I feel more or less stubbles after my work day (about 5PM) but not enough to warrant a second shave. Even if going on a date. SWMBO doesn't seem to mind!
