    @SGH, just referring to some comments I’d read on a shaving forum.  People saying switching to DE allowed them to only shave every other day instead of daily.  I shave 2-3x per week as it is d/t working from home and I’m very comfortable with a couple day scruff (and after 27 years, wife has low expectations of me shaving).  I do have a relatively heavy beard, but I’m no Richard Nixon.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    I don't subscribe to any of the top-shelf blade shaving processes, and equipment out there but I shave every day that I am going out in public ( and if not that day then always the next- FWIW).   I would submit that any daily shave will be closer than a day old bbs result.  But I am not about to go down that road...

    I am confused.  Shaving with these fancy razors and soaps and brushes and bowls is supposed to be better than anything else - bbs as they say.  To the point of people saying they only have to shave every other day.  Scottie shaves twice per day, 200% more than people with disposables or electrics and 400% more than what I read online about shaving less often when the shave is that good.  Sumpin ain’t right.
    Let me shed some light on this for you my confused friend. First, shaving with a DE and good shave soap no doubt produces a better and closer shave. This is indisputable and easily proven. It’s no contest. 
    Second, what determines how often someone needs to shave is how fast their facial grows. Some folks can get by with skipping a day or two without shaving. This is because they are slow growers. Slow growers can shave with a cheap disposable and and get by fine for a day or two. Fast growers on the other hand can shave with a straight or a Muhle and still need a shave in 8-12 hours. 
    Ever hear of 5 o’clock shadow? Some of us can shave in the morning and by evening time look and feel rough. Others do not. Slow growers may not develop 5 o’clock shadow for a day or two. 
    Its a simple matter of how fast your facial hair grows. Shaving with the Muhle certainly buys me time between shaves. But it’s hours, not days. 

    So if I read this right, @SGH, you’re saying that you’re a grower, but not a shower.  Now I understand.

    I’ve left behind the Mach 27 and went with the Muhle R89. Got the brush, lather bowl, preshave oil and all the bits and bobs to go with it. It is by far the BEST and CLOSEST shave you’ll ever get (once you learn how to properly use it). I’m a shower and not a grower, only use it 3 times a week. After the initial investment, the blades are stupid cheap. I’ll never go back to the MACH 68 again

    Great choice my friend. The ole R89 is a tried and true whisker buster. I like all of the Muhle offerings. However it goes without saying that the R41 is far and away my all time favorite. 
    Whats that old saying? “If you ain’t shaving with a Muhle, you are obviously a fool”.
