In some ways yes others no. I could not shave and look easily in my 20s(early 20s) apparently at 17. Also when people liked to go "Yeah I am starting to get a treasure trail or some hair on my chest!" I can show off and say "Yes so am I." but it must be seen rather than read.hazabaza1 said:
I shave once a week as I shave with the grain then against the grain and I cut myself that way. If I only shave with the grain it is pointless as it more or less grows back in a day.
I use an electric razor and it is basically a chore, I don't really get how you can have a favourite morning ritual of any sort other than perhaps long showers. I'm rather lazy and tend to let mine grow out for a few weeks before shaving again, though it's probably a habit I ought to break as I definately look better clean shaven.
I use an electric shaver, but I lost the little circular blades that go in the top, so I have to use the built in clippers that pop out of the side.
They give me an awful face rash, so I rarely shave.
Note: I was on a trip and forgot to put the shaver in the little travel pouch, and so the bits are strewn across the suitcase, where they may never be retrieved.

i feel sorry for you, sure i have to shave every 2-2.5 days but my electric shaver which i have had for 5 years hasn't let me down yet, i don't have even the slightest bit of stubble (if i ever do it's usually because i'm in a hurry and do a quick 1-2 minute shave)MakerOfRoads said:
I appear to be one of the few that uses a razor. So, that's how I shave, and between once a week and three times a fortnight.
Really? I've had to shave since I was twelve. And if you think that's bad, I had a friend who started at ten.Amphoteric said:
I can't grow hair on my chin, but my lip seems pretty determined to grow a retarded-looking moustache. So when I feel it getting distinctly less smooth I shave it with startling efficiency and no blood loss. I just use my dad's razor though, I don't know what it is.
I shave a goatee in, I use one of those electric razors that the army use to give people buzzcuts, because they're cheap but do the job well. Then, rarely, I sometimes take the stubble to the skin using a Wilkinson Sword Quattro. All about four blades baby. Did it today for the first time in months, you can see where I've caught the sun 
I currently don't shave. I tend to stop shaving at the start of autumn and start again when it gets warmer in late spring. This can confuse people I see on occasions, but it's just the best way I think. Gotta get a good beard on before Halloween. When I do shave I have some ridiculous Gilette thing, with five blades or something excessive like that. I fucking hate those adverts though.
Personally i only like shaving every three days, but my gf demands i do it every day (apparently my stubble is comparable to sand paper).
I use one of <link=http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/163930-Wilkinson-Sword-Tech-3-Wal-Mart>these for daily shaving. I used to use a Gillette Fusion, which I will admit was much easier to shave with (with one of those, shaving cream is completely optional, and frankly unnecessary), but I couldn't afford to spend upwards of $20 for four blades. The one I'm using now costs $5 for four blades, and gives about as good of a shave as the Atra razor that I used to use before I got the Fusion.
I also have an electric trimmer, which I use about once a month for beard maintenance; I only keep part of my face completely shaved, and the clippers are easier to deal with than a pair of scissors and a comb.
