Before or After

Post by Demios »

For those of you who are rugged and manly like me. You know, the ones who can actually grow beards and shave everyday or else they end up looking like this dude

if they don't shave for 5 days. When do you shave. Before or after your showers.

After I shower, of course. What's the point in doing it before?

After. If you do it before, it rapes your skin. I usually only bother to shave once every 4 days or so.

Every other day, before I shower if I can. I like to shave before because usually the shower softens the freshly-shaved skin. I like the end result better for shave then shower more than shower then shave.

Every other day is perfect. Every day destroys my face, more than one unshaven day feels disgusting.

I like to shave after because usually the shower softens the hairs to be shaved. Means shaving is easier and I don't have to wait as long after putting on shaving cream.

It usually doesn't matter, but if you wet your face before shaving, it should make things a little easier for those who do it before taking a shower.
PS: I don't use shaving cream, just straight water and a razor. 8)

After. I usually shave once every two days or so, just trimming away the edges of my beard and removing my genuine gringo 'stache.

I agree with bitcopy's argument, and also, the very fact that it softens the hair makes it more difficult with an electric shaver, because it picks up on sturdy hairs betteryes, I'm a wussy for using one

I do it before because it doesn't bother me at all. It is extremely annoying shaving every day but if I didn't I'd have a beard like osama in afew weeks.

I shave every day, and with an electric razor before I shower. I never could shave after because my face would be too clean and the razor would glide very good, it is really hard that way. I still shaved before I showered even when I used to use a regular razor, I figured why get crap all over your clean face?

I'm french, so it's widely known we don't shower and wait for our beards to rot naturally.













"After", but I shower more often than I shave - it grows so fast it's useless anyway.

After, every 2-3 days when the stubble becomes less rugged and more homeless, along with daily trimming of sideburns.

Shaving before you shower is stupid. Showering softens that shit up.

Before I got lazy and started use electric, I would always shave after showering. Doesn't really make sense to do it before, the skin is too tight and the hairs contracted.
