How often..?

I shave every other day, sometimes every 2 or 3 days..I think it all depends on how much you have to shave (a little = more times). I'd be interested in knowing how often, how much? I don't have full MPB, the forehead/front recedes a little..

I shave every night while in the shower and go to bed smooth.

If my schedule changes up I might start shaving at night opposed to in the morning. I'm a daily shaver.

I normally shave every night in the shower. I would prefer to shave in the morning, but my work day starts early and I don't want to make time for it in the morning. I love the smooth feeling and feel like I am not completely dressed when I have stubble. I am not bald, only thinning. My hair is gray to white, so the stubble really doesn't show until a 24 to 48 hours. I could easily go every other day without anyone except myself noticing.
A friend at work has really dark hair and only shaves every three to four days. His MPB is definitely visible by the second day, probably within 12 hours of saving.
So it is really up to you how often you shave, but for me, I enjoy shaving and the fresh smooth feeling.

Every other evening just before showering. If I shave every day, I risk back-of-neck irritation.

I tried every other day but for me that caused more irritation instead of preventing it.

Usually every second day but as I am retired I don't have to be smooth for work etc. Just love the smooth feeling when I have shaved.

My ultimate goal is daily, but I can't afford to keep myself in that many blades at a time, and I'm often too tired or busy - so I settle for once a week with maintainance with an electric a couple more times each week

As a shift worker who flip-flops between daytime and nighttime shifts, most of my shaves are on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays when I am off following a rotation (If I have a long weekend off I may shave twice or in some cases all three days in that particular weekend). This is not ironclad, so I guess I would fall into the "random shaver" category meaning anywhere from one to five days. BTW, most of my shaves leave me stubble free for about 36 hours ever since I started using a shaving brush. YMMV.

I really like to keep it smooth, so it's every morning for me. I also have a really dark shadow.
It still takes less time to shave it than it did to get the old horseshoe to stop curling up like Bozo's.

I try and shave every day but working 12 hour shifts I can't always make time in the morning getting up at 04.30. Fortunately the longest I leave between shaves is 2 days now as I make sure I make time to do it even if it has go be be the evening. I feel a bit scruffy if I leave it any longer. Stupid really, considering no-one else would probably notice. In fact I dont think anyone (apart from my mother) has mentioned it in weeks.

I was shaving daily, then twice per week but lately I have changed that to once per week on the weekend.
I like the sandpaper feel and the dark shadow but the main reason I wait a week is because it's nice to have a little something and a change (like when I first went sly) to look forward to
Also I know as a spinoff, shaving once per week is saving me money, time and it lessons the chance of me getting that horrible feeling of over dosing on shaving and shaving related stuff which I felt coming on when I shaved daily

At the moment I shave every day, however, I am changing jobs shortly. The new job involves shift work, so I will have to see how things go. May still manage the daily shave depending on shift times.
