I shave every 3rd or 4th day, when my stubble starts to annoy me. For one, I just don't have the time--too much else I'd rather be (or need to be) doing. Also, I enjoy looking a little different from one day to the next. Lastly, I'm afraid I'd find it something of a chore if I did it every day. 2x a week keeps the experience fresh for me.
How often do you shave with a DE Razor?

6 days a week. I skip Saturday.
Daily, ever since I started using a DE razor.

...but this one IS cracked.
I shave daily, In my house it's the only time I get to myself plus I just really enjoy it. I'd shave twice a day but the missus would complain.
Once a day keeps the whiskers away.
This pretty much sums up my experience as well depending upon what blade I’m using. Gillette Silver Blues work the best for me either way
One, maybe two days a week with a DE. The other days I use an SE or cartridge, primarily an SE user overall.
Shave every day with DE. On the rare occasion I may skip a Saturday.
My beard doesn’t seem to grow as fast as it used to. So I shave every other day.
Every third day.
With a razor of some sort, every day for about 60 years. With a DE, I actually never counted but a WAG would be about half that or a little more.
I'm in the every day but Saturday club.
Because I like really aggressive razors with sharp blades - I do the twice a week and a proper Sunday night shave system. Unfortunately, I have a bit of a commute in the mornings and I don't like too much of a gap between waking and heading off most mornings.
I do look forward to retiring and being able to shave every day at leisure... and being at leisure generally.

I shave with a DE 2, 3 or 4 times a year.
Typically I shave daily with a straight. Usually a two pass shave. I don't have sensitive skin and according to my barber, a normal beard. I occasionally skip a day or two, just because I want to.

At least 5 days a week. Sometimes all 7. Before Covid it was 7 times a week without fail...
For 20 years in the service I was required to shave every day. I used a straight razor mostly and never had a problem with irritation.
I used to be a 36 hour shaver, but my schedule often led to skipped evening shaves and 48 hour stubble is just... not as nice to shave. I shave 6-7 days a week now, practically whenever I shower, which is usually in the morning after exercising. Occasionally, I'll shave as soon as 20 hours after the last shave without issue. I will skip shaving Monday if/when I shower and shave Sunday night.
Before i retired i shaved at least 5 days a week. Since retirement I am at a very comfortable every 2-3 days. (Timeless .95 SB or OC depending on the number of days, Nacets and Feathers)
Every day. Couldn't contemplate not shaving. Two passes. I look like a homeless bum if I don't.
Total noob as I've only been DE shaving for two weeks and struggling with razor rash a bit but I'm sure that will go as my technique improves.
