Do you take a few days off?

I don't tend to take days off unless I have got a lot of irritation or cuts, longest I have taken off was a week when I tried a straight and sliced my cheek on my first stroke, left my face heal.
I try not to avoid shaving because my skin goes to pot and I get a little spotty. If I cut myself like on my neck or upper lip I do avoid shaving those areas for a few days, but shave the rest as normal.

No, I can happily shave daily. The few times I have missed days it is extremely satisfying taking off the growth.

The Only Time I Ever Shaved Every Day was in the Forces..Even then I Didn't Shave at the Weekend..There are Very Few Jobs that One Needs to Shave on a Daily Basis Regardless of Forum Talk..

Four times a week for me. Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning and again Saturday night. I've tried shaving everyday but the irritation really starts to build up after a while. Now and again I'll let it grow out for 3-4 days over a long bank holiday weekend or something.

No, I shave every day and don't need anytime for my skin to heal as you put it. I find the unshaven look too scruffy especially with all the grey hairs mixed in. Having said that, I occasionally finish a shave with a splash of witch hazel if I sense any razor burn. The final touch is an application of moisturising cream and then a splash of after shave.

Daily shaver here. If I take a day off (a la 3 days of Download last year) I feel like a hobo and it grates on me far more than it really should.

This. Plus my skin feels better if I shave everyday.
And, well, I've got a few of soaps around the house...

My job doesn't require me to be clean shaven every morning, so I shave every three days and I love how my SE's go through it. I wish it grew at a faster rate to shave more often. I don't think I can shave every day because I have very coarse growth and I think I would blunt the blade more often. To give you an example, a DE blade will last me only for one BBs shave. An SE blade is only good for 3-4 shaves no more. What I've noticed however is that with SE's I'm BBs longer than a DE shave.
