I shave regularly every 3 to 4 days with a DE razor. If I go longer than that, the stubble will start to annoy me whenever I touch my face.
I shave daily. About 18 months or so exclusively with DE razors.I am restarting safety razor shaving with:
1. Parker Variant,2. Merkur 38C, and3. Rockwell 2Crazors.
I have been shaving every other day with a Gillette Sensor. However, I enjoy shaving so much with the Parker Variant that I want to shave every day. I love this BBS. However, I've read somewhere that daily shaving is too often -- it's rough on the skin and the face needs time to recover between shaves.
For now, I shave every 36 hours (1 1/2 days).
So, how often do you shave with a DE safety razor? I am only interested in full facial shaves.
By the way, I tried submitting this as a poll but got stuck on the format for "possible responses."
I DE shave every day, cycling through a collection of razors which includes a Merkur Future, Merkur 33, Rockwell T2, Gillette Fat Boy, and a 1947 Gillette Aristocrat. I wash my face, leave the lather on my face while building a lather in my mug, then shave, using additional lather and passes on problem areas.I am restarting safety razor shaving with:

Pretty much every day, however, I'll sometimes skip Sat and/or Sun, at the wife's request. She likes some occasional growth or scruff. When you do skip a day or two, that next shave feels simply awesome, and always seems like the closes shave of the month afterwards.
If I have a rough shave, I'll either down the Rex, or use a milder razor or a day or so afterwards. My Rex (Ambassador) quickly became my daily driver, thanks to Ken Surf's giveaway. Granted, the rough shave is generally far and few between, and usually from a razor other than the Rex.
Lucky you, I think Ken Surfs likes a tame mid range( he has sensitive skin he always indicates). Very Generous of him and I watch his show every once in a while also.If I have a rough shave, I'll either down the Rex, or use a milder razor or a day or so afterwards.
