    People have different rates of hair growth ... not everyone gets a 5 o'clock shadow the same day. Personally I can get away with not shaving every day, but it just gets real uncomfortable/itchy and a little untidy if I keep it unshaved longer than 48 hours. Btw, Remington's MB-300 beard trimmer is awesome.

    I think the 5 blades puts it to the point of diminishing returns!

    Not really. The Fusion is so much better than the Mach3. I can shave against the grain and get no irritation at all. I love it. In fact, I *always* shave against the grain.

    If i want a clean shaved face i really need to shave every day. But my girlfriend prefers the rough look, and i'm to lazy to shave to often.

    that's the one I've used for the last 4 years.. well, after 4 years, I felt like there was enough buildup on the sides and probably inside to warrant buying a new one. So yeah, I'm on my 2nd one as of 2 months ago. Still, highly recommended..

    Really takes the same amount of time to rinse the blade. Ok maybe *slightly* longer, but I can wait 3 seconds instead of 1..

    And I keep my face out of the spray while shaving--not too tough really?

    My 5 o'clock shadow takes more like a 5 days.

    I tried it. My hair is way too thick. Blade took forever to rinse.

    If the mirror is hanging under the shower head, how are you able to look in the mirror without getting your face in the water?

    I do mine after my shower. And I take my showers at night because I'm to lazy to get up and take them in the morning.

    I rarely use the razor to shave since I have sensitive skin, so I just just trim most of the time.

    i do the same, but not because i'm sensitive, just lazy.

    i use the trimmer on it's shortest setting maybe twice a week. i used to shave once a week (sunday night or monday morning) and then trim on wed or thu. but i hardly shave at all anymore.

    i'll also shave if i have a meeting with big wigs.

    I shave every morning. Just bought me a shower mirror a couple of weeks ago at Bed Bath and Beyond and it works great. It doesn't fog up at all. So since then I've been shaving in the shower and it makes things a hell of a lot easier. Here is the one I got.

    I wish I was that lucky. My hair grows at an unbelievable rate. I basically have to shave every other day and get a haircut every 2 weeks.

    That mirror has an adjustable arm, so you can angle the mirror however you like. I don't need to get right upon it or anything...just as long as I can see it. So I angle it so that I can see it from the position where I'm standing where the water isn't hitting my face

    shave in the shower with a fog proof mirror. with the hot water and steam it prepares the delicate skin and hair for a good shave.

    it's glorious...

    beyond measure.

    Usually it's the opposite for me. I hate shaving unless it's right after I take a shower. The whole pores are more open, skin is softer, etc etc.

    Yet, there are the dreaded times where one must choose between showering and shaving before a big event. The shaving usually wins out with deodorant for the win.
