I get 5 oclock shadow and its annoying. When I work everyday---but if I have time off I dont shave. I hate how it feels and looks when I dont though...
Since I live in Ohio, it depends on the season. I know it sounds gross, but we can get some extremely frigid winters and I actually stay warmer--and can kick the thermostat down a couple of degrees--if I don't shave all that often. I'm not in a relationship, and no one else sees it, which is good because toward early Spring I can look like I've got Buckwheat in a headlock. Summer is a different story, though, and I can keep the central air down during those heat waves if I'm shaving more frequently.
I grew a mustache over the summer between 11th and 12th grade; my mom made me shave it off for the senior picture in October 1971 and I grew it back right afterward. So, I haven't shaved my upper lip for 42 years.
I used to shave parts of my head every 3 days when I had a Mohawk. I shave my legs and pits probably every 2 days and leave my bush to the lovely ladies who wax and spray tan me.
The answer depends upon the season! If it's leg and pit baring warm months, then every or every other day. When the cooler months roll around, the pits get it every other day, and the legs once or twice a week.
In summer, once a week. In winter, once every few weeks. I'm blessed with very slow growing hair, and I live in hipster Seattle where no one really cares.
Seachica, like you, I have slow-growing hair (and also live in seattle). It is super fine and sparse, so I can get away with shaving/waxing/veet every 4-6 months. According to some of my friends, my 6 month growth is equivalent to their 3 day growth. I'll take it.
"I used to shave parts of my head every 3 days when I had a Mohawk."
That brings back memories. Back in the day I had an ass-length ponytail/Mohawk combo. Now that was a bitch to shave, cutting down the whitewalls without clipping off about three feet of hair.
God, I've gotten to so hate shaving every day, but if you're a guy like me you have to do it. If I let the beard grow out when I'm rocking the full ponytail--which I am again--everyone assumes I'm a mean-ass biker. LEO's put a hand on their weapon, convenience store clerks fumble under the counter...it's just not worth it. "Psycho killer/qu'est-ce que c'est," just from the damn beard. Plus it itches.
@Rach: Eh, when you cut the grass, does a garden gnome turn into a giant? I do it more to cut down odor and increase sensation than for any optical illusions.
Only when my knuckle hair gets caught in my class ring.
ReplyDeleteThis often
ReplyDeleteHey VIP! Did you see?? I finally learned the clicky link trick! Now it's ON!
Delete@VIP - I don't think that means what you think it means.
Delete@Lucas
DeleteDoes this make things more awkward or less awkward? I think less awkward :)
Delete@VIP - I considered linking to the subreddit devoted to pictures of it, but then decided that is no way to start your week. Sorry, Count.
DeleteTHAT'S NASTY!
DeleteHmmm. That one didn't work as well as I'd hoped. STILL LEARNING!
Delete@Sugar - the wall of disguted GIFs was good. How often does one get to gross out Wanda Sykes and Crab Man at the same time?
Delete@VIP - Marry me. Right now.
Delete@Lucas ;)
DeleteAre you kidding ?

ReplyDelete@derekharvey 5 o'clock shadow is a fav of mine on men!
DeleteNow that I've had laser hair removal I only shave key body parts (pits/legs) like once a week-ish.
ReplyDeleteThis is for visual control only (I'm not dating), just to keep the wispy prickles out of sight.
I shave like this!
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteHead every other day, face everyday unless I don't have to work/go out.

ReplyDeleteHmmm I had a nice 70's bush link for everyone but apparently I'm not doing the silly hyperlink thing proper and all. Sigh.

ReplyDeleteThe nice thing about being blond,and now turning white...no one notices my stubble if I don't shave my face every day.

ReplyDeleteWell naught nurse, a woman needs her winter coat!
DeleteNever, I lasered EVERYTHING.
ReplyDeleteOh, and my left nipple every 2 hours. Even in business meetings. Hairy fucker.
ReplyDeleteIn the summer every day to every other day. In the winter, once a week-ish, but nether lands still every day.

ReplyDeleteSince I shave my head, face, pits and crotch and am extremely lazy, it averages to be once every couple of weeks.

ReplyDeleteIn the summer, about once a week. In the winter, maybe once a month. Good thing hubby loves me for my mind. :)
ReplyDeleteFace: as little as possible
ReplyDeleteJunk: every month or 2, more frequently if I got a broad willing to visit the region
Count: that old adage: shave your balls make your dick look bigger!
DeleteNever shave a damn thing: full on Grizzly Adams... back hair and all.
ReplyDeleteWon't touch the hair between the toes... probably should do at least those to keep from having Hobbit feet.
shaving is for suckers

B. Profane: get yourself a kutte and a 1% er patch and it'll finish off the look nicely. People do make snap judgments based on appearance.
