Any how, whats the minimum time before you can shave again?

Mostly it depends on you.

Your face.
Your touch... (light is good)
Your razor... (not too sharp not too dull)
Your latherin... (perfect soak time, not too wet, not too dry, nothing irritating).
Your expectations.

I found that once I was willing to settle for a "good to go" shave
in contrast to a BBS shave I found that I could shave each day
and touch up my shave for a hot date once in a while.

A BBS goal was just too close for my face.

Mostly the razor was key. A good strop with
CeOx or CrOx was almost a requirement for a sharp
yet smooth open blade razor the way I hone.

On the DE razor front Feather blades were out
for the first shave or two. Oddly enough DE blades from
Target would give me two or three darn fine shaves and
may be the best DE value I have run into. Audition
a lot of DE blades there are some prizes out there.

Tossables like the BiC yellow handled single blade
razor for sensitive skin are the easy to learn 24 hour
shave with a hot Friday date touch up and skip Saturday
shave plan.
