I shave every day around my goatee. During hunting season from mid September until thanksgiving I grow a facial beard except for my lower neck.
Winter months = an unkempt beard. Summertime = a clean shaven face everyday.
Four days. Only after I started growing facial hair.
In my cart days I would regularly go for 3-5 days between shaves. More if I were traveling but didn't need to worry about looking shaggy. As much as I hated masks covid helped there. Rarely did I shave more regularly than every other day.
I would sometimes grow a mustache and goatee. I look dashing that way. But A) I couldn't keep them trimmed neatly and B) I liked kissing my wife more than I liked having them.
Now with wet shaving and SR's I shave nearly every day. I just did my 31st shave and I started 38 days ago. Never more than one day between shaves.

In my 20s? It never occured to me until I got an office job. For the last decades? Daily. Can't stand stubble although I did have a mustache for a good 30-35 years. That's been gone for some years now as I feel facial hair on older guys makes them look, well, older.
Well, probably 16 years, then I had to shave at least once a week, to my now late 30s when I shave daily(almost).
During cartridge days every 3-4 days to CCS quality because I didn’t like it.

Corporate life: maybe 2 or 3 days at most.
Post Corporate (retirement): maybe 2 or 3 days at most.

These days, with my OCD, seems like about an hour... 
10-days on a trip to Bermuda 4 years ago.
I started keeping a moustache/close-beard after that trip - and still do.

A week, I had a procedure done that required me not to shave for a week.
Besides that 2-3 days if I really want to “mow it down” on that next shave. Also, the one wildcard, if I use something mild like a 34C, 18-24 hours.

Hi,
I see shaving as a daily chore. But, a necessary one if I wish to keep on living. Beards=Death in my world. Can't seal the SCBA mask with facial hair.

Will skip the occasional day or two giving the facial skin a rest. Though I just don't feel quite right without a daily shave.
Maybe a week to 10 days is the longest I have gone without shaving. Backpacking trips or survival school.

If I were smart, I've give things a rest once or twice a week but my obsession about keeping my facial hair non-existent is a blessing, and a curse. It's why I do good prep and use mild razors. I don't shave daily because I want to, I shave daily because I need to.
It's rare that I don't do my daily shave but the most I've gone without a shave is one or two days at the most.
I went without shaving for 9 days on a recent vacation.
The conditions were subpar and my wife likes the stubble/beard.
The weather was nice and cool where we were.
Upon returning home, it was warmer and more humid
and the scratchy scruff went away the night we returned.

It's been close to 24 hours and I'm gettin' real antsy...
None of my girlfriends have ever liked kissing someone with facial hair. To be fair, I hold them to the same standard.
I once dated a gal from the middle-east. Once.
