Yes. I shave exclusively with a straight razor and have since I started...after the first month, I threw all the other Gillette junk away.
I think more than a couple folks here have a 7-day set, but I most have much more than 7 :) My opinion on 7-day sets is why not make one of various makers...something like this:
1 Wacker
1 Dovo
1 TI
1 Revisor
3 Vintage
But why limit yourself...
I too am an every day user. I actually look forward to shaving after my shower. It's an enjoyable part of the morning ritual.
I do not however have a 7 day set. I could only afford to start with two razors, but tend to use one more than the other. No particular reason as they both provide wonderful shaves.
I shave with a straight 7 days a week. Every now and then if I'm in a hurry I'll cheat with a DE though.
I don't have a 7 day set. I never had an interest in having 7 of one razor when there are so many great different razors to use.
Seven days a week unless I feel like "bumming" around the house. I'm with THEBIGSPENDUR, no interest in a 7-day set. Variety is nice, but I'm not going to say that I wouldn't pick up a set if the price was right some day...just wouldn't use it exclusively.

I've only been straight shaving for about a week, but this morning I confirmed my rule against shaving after coffee. On days I work at 4:30 am, I certainly don't shower or shave before work, and I think I'll be sticking to the DE on the days when I'm sleep deprived and over-caffeinated by the time I get to shave. (Nothing terrible happened this morning, just gave myself a few nicks and nothing resembling a close shave.)
Nope, Sunday is a day of rest for my face... :D
Yep, every day, seven days a week..! I love it, its the best way to start a day in my opinion!
The only time I dont is if I'm in a rush. Then I will cheat and use a DE.
I do sometimes give my face a day or two's rest over the weekend, but I will usually shave on Sunday morning if I dont on the Saturday. I only leave it the whole weekend if I'm being really lazy!
I have tried shaving seven days but find my face does not handle it to well.
I shave 6 to 7 days a week with a straight... I have to admit that I am even getting up earlier just for that nowadays.:needcoffee:
I wish I could do it like that. I am on the way.Quote:

Every time I shave I use a straight, that's not nessercerily every day, but I might start shaving every day again.
I would like a 7 day set, there is just something very cool about them I think.
Hello I shave every day with a straight. I have a 7 day set but have never used it. I use mostly vintage shavers, but have a custom and a few dovo and TI that I use. I have a few wedges that I use and like as well. I would like to say every day I get a great shave but time is always at a premium in the a.m. so some days are not as good as others, but always better than what an electric can give.

I generally shave everyday with a SR. I do use a DE when I'm in a big hurry, which isn't all that often or when I travel and a SR is not convenient. Sometimes I skip a Saturday but generally every day.
Don't have a seven-day set and I probably won't. I like using different razors.
I shave every day. Once in a blue moon I'll skip a day, but rarely. I enjoy the whole process of shaving and I don't like to skip a day.
I shave 6 days out of 7 an I only use a straight razor. I like to shave at night after a hot shower. I have two bathrooms in the house...so one is my shave den. It is a ritual that I enjoy very much. Currently in my rotation I have five razors, an 8/8 Dorko in on its way and should be arriving Saturday....boy can't wait to use that lip lopper. I do not own a seven day set since I like to shave with different razors.
Seven days a week and sometimes twice a day.
Aye. Seven days a week. I don't have a seven day set, but I've considered it, along with a 30 days set and a 365 day set. May God have mercy on my RAD afflicted soul. :angel:
I usually shave 7 days a week, and I always shave with a straight.

Seven days a week. Usually use the same razor too. :o
It's gonna be a long way for me, but, as we all agree, the longer the fun is, the better.
Agree with red96ta and thebigspendur
I'm just getting started, but looking forward to accumulating a few different styles/types of razors (I only own two so far).
Don't think I'd even want a 7 day set.
I generally shave everyday, except this week I skipped a couple days (my other razor in the shop for a tune-up) just to see how well my 5/8 Engels would clear the brush...made me re-appreciate the effectiveness of the straight razor!
