Which is the best time to shave, morning or night?

Shaving is a common practice for men. It is said that there is no clear answer as to how often to shave, since the thickness of the beard differs from person to person. This is a question that every man must have thought about at least once.

Shaving in the morning is the right thing to do! The best time is 15~30 minutes after waking up

It is said that it is better to shave in the morning. There are two reasons for this: the beard grows the longest between 6:00 and 10:00 a.m., and after a good night’s sleep, the skin is firmer and less prone to razor burn. However, immediately after waking up, the beard is buried by facial swelling, making it difficult to shave deeply and prone to bleeding, making it unsuitable for shaving. Therefore, the best time to shave is 15 to 30 minutes after waking up.

Also, did you know that the speed of growth differs depending on the season? In fact, September is the fastest month for growth, and February is the slowest. The reason for this is not known for sure, but one theory is that the parasympathetic nervous system is activated from spring to summer, which improves the circulation of blood flow and facilitates the distribution of nutrients. And beards grow 0.2~0.4mm per day. If you want to enjoy a fashionable beard, it is said that the length that looks cool is “6mm”, so it is recommended to grow it for 15~30 days.
