    I'm about to shave off 3 days growth myself. Even that is too much and the first pass is usually tougher. As a result i've just finished touching up the razor on a hone. I'll take extra care in pre-shave prep too.

    I unfortunately have to shave everyday (five days). However I can only do two or three days in a row with a straight before my tender skin starts getting raw. Sunday is the pamper shave where I gat to take extra time.

    That's strange; I get less irritation with a straight than with any other way I've shaved.

    I mostly shave every day, but I do take a few days off per month from shaving because of sheer laziness.

    2-3 days. Need to shave about every 36 hours (with a straight), get away with every 48.
