That would be awesome if true! Seriously though, it's crazy how fast it comes in.
No arguement here. I shave twice a week. Maybe 3 times if I'm really motivated.
I find it unnecessarily excessive to have unnecessary follow excessive in the title of this thread.

Yo fancypants, there’s a word in between!
It would of been funnier if you had said
Yo fancypants, there’s the word and in between.
And I guess that would make and also unnecessary if unnecessary is unnecessary, and when is it not....
And....
I am a daily shaver ( needed for work ) and I find that if I dont shave everyday I just feel unclean and scrubby . So even on my days off i'm still up at stupid o'clock shaving .
I don't really shoot for a BBS shave. I do two passes, WITH & ACROSS with some ATG touch up during the second pass. Like Geo from shave nation says "feel you face, when your done, your done". I know big controversy that some 'Barbers' say you should never shave ATG. If I try to get too close, with my skin & beard type, I can only get it with repeat stokes and ATG. I always end up with irritation.
Shaving every day or every other day is...to each his own. Changing your underwear is not.
Health would be a point, and if there's a point, then your claim that it is pointless would be wrong.

And yet, Ive shaved daily for many years without irritation or skin damage, so at the least, ones mileage may vary may yet again be the answer to the question.

I've discovered that shaving a 48-hour beard gives a much smoother, closer-without-irritation, and satisfying shave than when I do a 24-hour beard with the same equipment. Now and then I bend that rule, but when I go back to 48 hours between shaves, the result is almost always better for me.
Kind of like what Hugh Hefner said in his Playboy interview in the 20th anniversary issue. He was asked why he had a round bed. He replied that it was a good way to employ the round sheets in the hall closet.
In recent years, I have taken to shaving with higher efficiency razors that display
some blade feel, although they are still smooth as hell.
One of my concerns is shaped by the belief that any activity that involves a blade scraping
your skin cells away at regular intervals does have a deleterious effect on skin.
So I try to shave alternate days as far as possible.
I have one mild razor, a uk made red tip, and if I only used that, I would shave every day,
no problems.

Yet exfoliating is recommend by dermatologists and estheticians.
I get noticeable growth after 24 hours so I shave daily and go for a 4 pass BBS as that's what I prefer.
My skin is sensitive but that's not something I can change but it doesn't stop me shaving daily.
Funny thing is that I work from home and most days don't even leave the grounds of our gated society.

I shave every day because my skin is in better shape when I do.
Back in the day I shaved with carts, and my skin was a painful mess. With a full beard for 10 years it was better, but still a lot of room for improvement. When I started with a DE, it was a huge improvement. I used to give myself a day off each week, but I see the most improvement in my problem skin when I shave 7 days a week. That's more than enough reason for me to disagree with "excessive and unnecesary".
Do what works for you.

I agree. You change it every other day, for sure!
It's obvious if I skip a day.
