    Three, maybe four days, tops. And that only a couple-few times.

    When I had my own place I shaved every day. Now that I'm living with some people I shave less but I'll be back to every day when I'm back home. If you have the right razor and blade combo and creams/soaps you can absolutely shave every day.

    Every day if I can. What else can you look forward to enjoying every day? :)

    I shave with straight razors exclusively. I don't need to shave every day because my skin is still comfortably smooth 24 hours later. Even then, I don't shave every other day. These days, I shave two, maybe three, times a week.

    Why in the world would you miss a day of shaving? I just retired from the military and even when we were in the field we were expected to shave every day. Now there was a reason for that, (1) It is a military requirement to be clean shaven and (2) your protective mask will have a better seal if you are clean shaven. If your protective mask is not sealed correctly, there is the chance that you might die. Pretty good incentive to shave.

    But I enjoy shaving so it wasn't a problem for me. The cold water was a problem at times but only a mild inconvenience...

    Enjoy your shave... :D

    In years past, I would occasionally skip a day here or there. However, since the birth of my oldest daughter (who will be 5 in a couple of months), I have shaved everyday. She and my youngest daughter (who will be 4 in June) don't like whiskers on daddy's face. As they are my :angelic010 they get there way. :D

    Every day generally, though the occassional Saturday finds me skipping just because it's a lazy day, or a grubby work day, or whatever.

    Unless I am am under the weather I normally shave everyday. There is the occasional day off on the weekends but they are few and far in between.

    I have to shave every other day. My face just can't take back to back days. But, I think after I get used to all of this I'm going to try shaving on back to back days just to see if it makes a difference.

    I shave every day--7 days a week, I have a heavy beard, which I prefer to be gone during the day. I think I miss a shave perhaps once a year, if even so much. My day is not complete and full without a good shave in the morning.

    I take maybe one or two days off a month from shaving, and these are days off from work when I'm not expecting to go out or receive visitors. I do try to shave every day, though--my beard grows so fast that shaving even a two-day-old beard takes quite a bit of fuss and can be painful.

    Back when I used an electric, I dared not take a day off shaving. Not only would I get a horrible shave trying to mow down a multi-day growth, it would take a couple more days for my skin and whiskers to "get used to the shaver" all over again. Electric shavers...bah!

    I must add that my beard grows so fast, and I enjoy shaving so much thanks to TSD, that I sometimes indulge in a second leisurely shave at bedtime just for the sheer pleasure of it. My Gem Micromatic is perfect for the second shave of the day.

    So far the last couple of weeks its been everyday. Before that I had a beard for about 10 years or so. :D

    I find that trying to shave every day tends to cause irritation. I'm still trying to sort out if this is a blade issue, a technique issue, or just how my face is built. For now, it's every other :)

    I could probably shave twice a day if I wanted to and if my face could stand it. It's not that I have a super fast growing beard, but instead, it's that I have sensitive skin and a beard that grows moderately fast. My face doesn't take well to BBS every day and a DFS is ready for a second trimming in the late afternoon early evening.

    This is a long way of saying that I shave every day. The wife won't let me near her if my face is scratchy.
