I shave ever 3 or 4 days, sometimes with a straight sometimes with a Rolling Razor. (I expect the straight will become more the rule than the exception now that I have a shutterbug straight) I space out my shaves due to psoriasis. If I shaved every day I would look like a biblical leper. A straight actually aggravates my skin less then most modern razors. More than likely this is because I take better care and preparation with the single edge.

Being ex-Navy I remember having to be SAT every day. I shaved twice a day back then once with an atra then once I got to station with a pocket electric... just to be sure. Passed inspection but did terrible things to my skin.

My advice, do what you need for inspection. Then use your straight and lather for rest, relaxation and time well spent. Getting in a hurry just makes it tedious and creates nicks.
