Evening Shaves

[Singing Blade]

I suspect I'm not alone, but I am curious to know if anyone else reserves their shave for the evening?
There's nothing I like better than coming home after work, having a hot, relaxing bath and a shave and going to bed smelling peachy, or, more probably, fougérey. My wife certainly seems to approve.
In the summer I do enjoy the odd menthol wake-up but now the winter's drawing in it's something I seem to look forward to more and more.

I'm in work for 7am and work until 7 or 8pm, so I find evening shaving more practical. By setting the alarm as late as possible (6.15) I rush through the morning routine of dress, breakfast, commute etc - and take the extra sleep - rather than going to bed earlier and having a more measured morning. I don't really have time nor energy to appreciate the aftermath of a shave, but the slow-paced enjoyment of shaving these days helps me to relax after each long day at work.

Edit: All bets are off by the weekend, even if I do end up going in on the occasional Saturday morning.

Double edit: School holidays are a different matter entirely!

[hando]

me too, it's actually better for your face
shaving in the morning isn't a good idea, regardless of what the Sarnt Major says

 

[Derbian]

I shave in the evening to, early starts and sharp blades, not a good idea.

Only in term time!

As a new teacher in a state school (well, I'm two years in), you're at the bottom of the pile - with the heaviest teaching load and the most scrutiny. 13 weeks holiday a year just about makes it worthwhile. The pay and other working conditions certainly don't!

Evening for me as well... always enjoy going to bed with a smooth face smelling great.

 

[Ewan E]

Interesting.

However, is your face still nice and smooth in the morning ?

I shave in the morning and get 5 o'clock shadow by about 3:30

 

[Derbian]

I tend to get a good 12 hours before I can feel stubble.

 

[Norseman]

I prefer an evening shave. It allows me to take my time with it, and enjoy it more.
With two kids at 1.5 and 3.5 years of age, there is not enough time in the mornings

 

[cootuk]

I get up about 4:30am and leave the house about 5am, so an evening shave is best for me when working.
Off shift and I shave whenever

Absolutely fine the following morning. Plus, by about 11 O'Clock most people are sick of the sight of me anyway so it doesn't matter.

 

[undertherazor]

it is until 12.00

+1 too right!!!

 

[NotTheStig]

Another predominantly evening shaver here. I like the relaxation of shaving justbefore bed. Plus if I mess up badly the bleeding should have stopped by the time I wake up

 

[fly3k]

Evening shave for me every other day. I probably have time in the morning to shave compared to the time others start work but still enjoy that extra time in bed. I still look fairly smooth in the morning but not to the touch.
