Every day for as long as I can remember unless I grew a beard. The only thing is that since I started wet shaving, now it's a pleasure

Every other day but many times I go three days between shaves.
I generally take weekends off but sometimes treat myself to an extra long and careful stave to sharpen up the lines of my mustache and soul patch on Sunday. Switching from DE to straights soon and I can see this changing to everyday.
every day, before work and on weekends around same time.
I actually shave a little less frequently than before I got into straight shaving. I used to shave every other day but now it's more like twice per week. I keep sideburns and a little bit around the food-catcher so the contrast allows me to look relatively maintained even a couple days in. It's also a bit like cheating since I don't have to do the more complex portions of my face.
I use a straight whenever possible, the DE if I'm in a little bit of a hurry (or not feeling alert), but I keep a spare BIC around for the truly rush job in the shower.
In general, I never shave more frequently than every other day due to irritation on my neck. I could probably do single pass shaves and reduce the irritation but then it would be less close so it's not really a good trade.
Everyday, I would shave twice a day if my skin wasn't sensitive.
Typically I shave every other day as one day growth for me is not enough to shave. I tend to go three days in the winter as I am outside for work daily. However I don't go more than four days as it drives me crazy. Sensitive skin an working in the weather makes shaving daily a bit skin irritating.
Every 2-3 days for me. But this time of year I grow a bit of a beard for the outside work I do. So I keep my neck clean and thats' it.
I shave every other day during the week, and whenever I feel like it when I am off. The difference now is that I actually look forward to shaving instead of viewing it as a chore.
First, this ex USN Hospital Corpsman would like to say, "thank you for your service." When I was in boot, our company commander had us shave with water alone so there would be no soap residue when inspections came around. That was in 1976. I shaved this way up until about a year ago when I started using a straight. I have a full beard and mustache that my wife is loathe to let me shave, so I only have to deal with my neck and cheeks. I am a retired RN, and now only shave on Tuesday and Saturday evenings for church on Wednesday and Sunday. Works for me... :)
While in the RAF I had to shave every day as I have a very heavy growth that was some times twice a day. As soon as I was dissabled out every two or three days no matter how scruffy up the establishment. But since using a straight razor once or twice a day as it is a pleasure now I go sit on the bed and forget all problems and loose myself in the what is now a pleasure used to shave standing up until my legs spasamned and I nearly took a large chunk out not recommended .it is not an enforced ritual of get in scrape of get out. What a difference
I shave my head & beard pretty much everyday, might take 1 day out of a month and not shave. Usually because of irritation, time, or I just did't feel like it. Hell I just took three months off from shaving my beard, my wife was quite irritated and badgered me daily to shave it off. I enjoy irritating her......:o
Every other day or so. I used to shave every day, but then discovered that I get an all around better shave when my stubble is at least 2 days old. :shrug:
Usually every 2-3 days for me. But after shaving clean one fateful, early November day, with an outside temp of -6 degrees (celsius) without the windchill, I decided to grow a beard. So that being the case, I've been doing a single pass on the neck with a shavette every 4-5 days or so. I am starting to miss the ritual though...
As a new deer hunter last year, I learned every bit of possible insulation was a good thing when wandering in the woods or swaying in the wind up a tree in Minnesota in November and December. So while hunting, I don't shave at all. The rest of the year, since I work in a lab where I don't give a damn about my appearance, I shave whenever I feel like it. That means sometimes every day and sometimes every week. That's the great thing about a straight. One day, a week, or a couple months of growth, a straight can handle it.
I try to shave daily, however if it is a "work around the house day" it's a shave free day for me.
Daily - if it's a truly long day maybe twice.

I've been in the military for 20 years and I shave Monday-Friday, the weekends are off-limits, unless I take the wife somewhere nice. I will continue to shave after the military, but I'd imagine there will be days-off in the future.

I'm retired now so 1 to 2 times a week. I have noticed that the longer I wait the better shave I get or the closer smoother shave it get.
