Frequency of Shaves

Until a few weeks for the last few years I'd shave every day 3 passes WTG x1, XTG x2.

For the last few weeks I've been too hot and too lazy to shave every day so it's been every 3 days or so.
 
Even though I've fair hair I shave every day, although I could get away with not shaving for 2/3 days before anyone would notice my stubble; I just don't like the feel of even a day's growth of stubble. I love the feel of my freshly shaved face: I feel clean and invigorated, ready for the day. Usually, I take 2 passes followed by touch up, but sometimes I'll take 3 passes.
 
I do 3 passes WTG/XTG/ATG plus touch-ups.

I usually shave 3 times a week and usually in the evening. I don't have time before work to do a ‘proper' shave. I very rarely shave on consecutive days as my skin doesn't like it.

Since moving from Cartridge razors (two years ago) I plan my week around my shaves. Also if I know I have something coming in the post I might delay my shave by a day, or two.
 
I shave every evening for the pleasure but in reality I get a better shave if I leave a bit over 36 hours between shaves .
My neck and throat stubble is 90 degrees out to my face. So ....
Pass one WTG face downward, neck left to right
Pass two XTG face horizontally neck downward
Pass three ATG face up neck upwards(XTG)
Then a tidy up with a bit ATG on the neck.

I also skip shaves and blade changes to place the shave at the optimal time for social/work events.
 
I used to shave every other day, but I am quite enjoying it, and need to spend more soap so now I am shaving every day. In the nighttime mostly.
2 pass shave. Never atg.

Normally every week day and then usually once at the weekend, exceptions being some days when working from home I might skip a shave and if I need to be looking my best on the weekend I may shave on both weekend days.

I do a 3 pass shave WTG,XTG and ATG with a DE, sometimes I get away with the first two passes and with SE razors I often find I just need 2 passes.

The most satisfying shaves for me are those that have more than a day between them, but I need to shave for work and I don't want a beard.
