    Varies a little, but given that we alternate on kindergarten drop-offs and responsibilities in the morning, it can often become morning plus night on day 1 and then no shave on day 2. If it hadn't been for the fact that I like to shave and would prefer to do it every day, this is quite a good setup, as it allows me to use and appreciate different razors. I would typically grab the Timeless OC .95 plate the morning after a no-shave-day, and the .68 plate in the evening.

    Almost always stick to two passes; I chase comfort over bbs. Touchups at times, a full third pass at times for special occasions.

    Every day, 2 passes and touchups. I aim for PGS and sometimes I even get close to BBS.

    I shave every day. 2-3 passes (WTG, XTG, ATG) each time, striving for BBS. Rarely get any razor burn or irritation.

    Since retiring - I went from daily to three times a week. Monday morning, Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon. Friday night is our date night so I start with a new blade and go for a BBS. Every now and then some other social engagement will come up where I shave an additional time. Last week was Thursday since I had to attend a friend's retirement party.

    Six days per week two passes plus a touch-up if needed. I actually prefer the feel of shaving two days stubble but prefer the shaved look.

    Every morning around 9am with three passes. Very rare irritation (chin) which I attribute to good prep, technique and of course Cold Water Shaving.
