I can feel re-growth in about 16 hours, but it doesn't really show for closer to 36 because I have a very light colored beard.

Shave at 7am, shadow by 11am/noon.

It can be a pain in the ass, but the nice thing is that if I want a beard or a goat, it's there by the next day.

If in the morning, then by that evening you can tell. Sucks too cause shaving is a pain.

You can get a goat the next day just by shaving!!?!? What about a horse? or a cow?

That's amazing!! Pics or shens!

If I shave with the grain (usually around 5:45 am), by that late afternoon/evening. If I shave against the grain, maybe a day and a half or two days.

About a day or so, but I am asian. ;) What is funny is I am trying to grow out a beard and it looks really tacky right now. <rubs chin furiously> ;)

I know some of my friends get the shadow after 3-4 hours.

It's usually starting to show by the evening. If not the morning after I shave. Starting to get annoying.
