Do any others here shave in the morning, sometimes even closely, only to find that when they arrive at their destination…
They really “need to shave” again??? (Disposable razors sure come in handy.)
I think there may be some sort of morning stress thing going on with me.
I wonder if your face is slightly swollen in the morning, and then it subsides after a couple of hours. I had no idea what would cause that, so I googled it. One reason could be allergies. Do you think that could be it? I recently saw a tip that people with allergies to airborne allergens should change their pillowcase every day, because the allergens get into hair and thus the pillowcase. Might be worth a try if you think allergies could be the problem.
Back when my facial hair was still jet black, I used to shave with an electric Norelco, and would always have a “shadow” by mid afternoon. I finally switched to shaving with a blade, and that kept me looking trim well into the evening.
Now that I’m more salt than pepper, I can go days without any obvious stubble! Yay, old age!
Thank you for your interest in solving this minor mystery. I don’t think that’s it because my face neither looks nor feels slightly swollen in the morning. And as far as I know I have no current allergies.
