So are you happy with your routine, or would you prefer to do it everyday?
I do a 2 and a half pass everyday and, like Steve, find longer growth can be less enjoyable to cut. I have to use a modernish full or extra hollow for comfort, but if shaving everyday all blades are fine.
-
For me it's every day because I like shaving but I suppose whatever works best for you. For many years I had to shave twice a day (military) and that was less fun.
-
I'm a two-three day shaver. I don't have to be clean shaven for my job and it usually takes me that long to get a noticeable shadow going. Some times I even go a week before I shave again just for the satisfaction of mowing down all the hairs without having to trim them down first!
-
When I was at the start of my learning curve with DE I used to shave every 2-3 days. Later, after some progress, I shaved everyday but only one pass WTG. Now with the straight razors I shave practically everyday and mostly 2 passes. But I skip a day every week so my skin gets some rest.
-
I tend to shave every other day due to time restraints. I really can't let it go much longer or it gets uncomfortable but that is just me.
-
Although my skin seems to tolerate shaving every day, like many that have posted before me, I also tend to shave every other day. For me it's mostly convenience and that it's just more satisfying to mow throw some significant growth than one day's worth of stubble.
-
I shave 5 days a week for the boss.
The other two days I shave for me.

When I was active duty military I shaved daily with a straight except Sat and Sun. If you use a good pre-shave regimine I found that daily is doable.
A hot cloth on the face at least twice, pre-shave balm applied and let soften the stubble, 2 coats of lather and then I only do 1 pass. The one pass with a good pre-shave prep leaves the face in good shape I have found. You don't get BBS but it is still a nice shave if you have a good straight razor.

I can do a 2 pass shave every day but usually don't. My face tolerates a straight better than a DE
-
I'm also down with every 3rd day. Daily is just overkill for me.
