With a straight razor it doesn’t matter how many days between shaves and they are much kinder to the skin than a DE. Something to consider.
How many days of growth for the most comfortable shave?

Might be a YMMV thing? I've never had razor burn that was even a small fraction as bad as I did from using a shavette(poor technique, but still my experience). I purchased 4 different vintage straight razors and paid to have them honed by 2 different people and could not get any of them to do anything but tear the hairs out of my face, they made Derby Extra blades feel like sharp, smooth shaving surgical quailty blades. Since then, they've all sat in my drawer and I've consistently gotten the smoothest shaves of my life with DE razors. I will pick those straights up again at some point, but I currently have no desire because of the comfortable DE shaves I'm getting.
I'm bearded now. But when I did go clean shaved, I was very inconsistent with the number of days I took off between shaves. If I felt the stubble was too long, I'd get my clippers out and trim it down with no guard.
For me it’s every other day. I do a single pass shave twice or thrice a week.
3 to 4 days
For me, daily is comfortable. If the question was: How many days of growth for the easiest BBS shave? I would answer after 3.
About 4 days for me.
Every other day. I don't really mind shaving daily if needed, though. A mild razor such as a Gillette Tech is good for that.
I shave every day, four passes. No irritation. I'm lucky, as I greatly enjoy it.

Every other day works best for me.
