The Best Time To Shave

A close, comfortable, and irritation free shave isn't a quick process; and if you can stretch out the time between each shave it is a major face saving bonus. So, here are a few pros and cons to shaving in the morning vs. the evening. After you have a read, try out each option to see which time works best! 

THE MORNING SHAVE

PROS

• Shadow Fighting - some beards can be both darker and tougher, so a morning shave can help to prolong the dreaded  5 o'clock shadow.
• Rise & Shine - we all have our ways of waking up in the morning.  For some, the step-by-step approach to shaving: Prep, Shave & Refresh can help do the trick.

CONS

Nicks/Irritation - Getting out of the door in the morning, can at times be a "mad dash". So, having this type of a routine in the morning, may do your face more harm than good.

THE EVENING SHAVE

PROS

• Slow & Steady - An evening shave can provide more time to getting a closer and "cleaner looking" shave.
• The Healing Effect - While we sleep, our bodies including our skin, regroup and heal.  For this reason, newly shaved skin has the opportunity to heal itself before the morning grind.

CONS

The tough beard - If your beard is dark and very heavy, another shave may be necessary in the morning.
