    I shaved every other day for months. It gave my face time to recover and I got good shaves. Lately I've been going for five times a week and having good results. As my skills improve, I have done better on one day's stubble. And now I don't have to give my face so much time to recover.

    I usually skip a day or two between shaves, if not more.

    I have a terrible bouts of mouth sores and yes sometimes I skip a morning or evening of brushing my teeth.
    I see no problem with rejuvenating a downtrodden members of our body.

    A dermatologist told me that unless you get really dirty every day, you should only shower 3 days a week and wash your hair only once a week. He told me that if I absolutely had to shower every day, only use soap the three days a week, otherwise just water. Washing the oils off your skin every day can cause an over production of the natural oils in your skin and can cause serious skin problems.

    I don't know if my shave was any closer but it was fun to see my blonde/grey whiskers in the lather for a change.

    One thing that I have noticed is that after day 3 with a cartridge I itched like crazy until day 5 or 6. I didn't notice it using a straight.

    I have to agree with most of the posts here. I shave every other day and I think it helps with the quality of the shave. Luckily I have a job that does not require me to be clean shaven every morning.
    I find that I find mysefl looking forward to "shave day" thinking about which razor and which cream and or soap I am going to use! Sad I know but true

    My oldest son had to see a dermtologist for skin tags and she said the same thing, that dont mean Im going to do that!!!
    wash the butt, scrub the teeth and comb the hair (what I have left) every day..... shave about two to three times a week. It just feels better.

    We had a similar post here a while ago, about how much grub,is your favorite to shave, If i recall correctly the mean answer was 2-4day worth of stubble.

    I have to shave every day for work. Just lately however, I try not to shave on my weekends (Friday and Saturday in Qatar), it's very satisfying taking 2 days growth off

    Edit: forgot to add, I face lather and it feels great scrubbing that Semogue boar brush into 2 days of stubble.
