    I like to shave daily but sometimes I skip a day either due to time constraints or because there is not enough stubble to warrant shaving. I shaved so close yesterday that today will be a day I skip. I almost always do a 2 pass shave. Once in a while I will do 3 passes but never 1 pass. On days that I work I shave in the morning on off days later at night. Whatever the time of day my shave is always at a relaxed and leisurely pace.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Same here. Mornings are for sleeping in

    I used to shave everyday. I'm in an awkward transition now. Typically I shave in the morning, and I get a very nice, smooth shave. The next morning, there's nothing to shave. However, by that afternoon, I've got stubbles! Would like to shave every 1.5 days... So I guess I'll just have to improve my shave some more until I can keep it a shave every other day without stubbles on the second afternoon? Or I suppose I could go back to settling with a not-as-good shave and shave everyday...

    Oh, typically I do 3 passes.

    I voted every day, but only because that is the closest to actual practice. In reality, I usually shave every morning Monday-Friday, in the evening on Saturday and not at all on Sunday.

    For me the ideal time between shaves is 36 hours, i let my skin rest well and there is enough stuble to guarantee a good shave, also at 36 hours i dont look dirty like i do in 48...\
    I have notice that when i do have to shave a couple days in a row in the morning (24hr rest between shaves)
    using same prep ,blade , amount of passes and shaving technique i wont get a s close of a shave and i have a lot of stubble next day in the morning...
    be well

    I normally shave every day, in the morning WTG and XTG. About once or twice a week I do ATG, every time I shave ATG I dont need a shave until the next day after work. (about 36 hours)

    I shave every day, it helps me wake up. All told, I spend about 30 minutes in the bathroom, including a shower. I make 3½ passes, WTG, ATG, XTG and a third oblique pass on the neck because I'm seeking the perfect BBS. I wish I could shave twice a day but that would be too much.
