Due to work and keeping a "professional appearance", I have to shave Monday to Friday. Weekends I try to skip it when possible and let my skin rest. But if I have something special going on like a family gathering, wedding, funeral, etc. I'll shave with my straight razor on Saturdays and Sundays. If I had my way, I'd only shave every second day though, at least, because it feels better to shave after a couple days of growth. Not as much irritation and the skin feels smoother.
How Often Do You Shave?

Every other day for me. I get irritation if I try it daily.
Retired, so basically I shave only when I want. However I am not a big lover of stubble so shaving is usually a M-W-F schedule for me. Weekends off and can't wait to get rid of the whiskers on Monday morning!
I usually shave the face daily. Head is every other day or so unless I'm at a client site, then I shave daily.
The only change to that is if I get a lot of irritation on my neck, then I take a day or two off.

Daily. I don't remember the last time I did not shave.
Daily unless it would require me getting up earlier to complete the chore. Depending on what's up, for those days i may shave the night before.

Daily, my dad told me, “A gentleman shaves every day.(his emphasis)”
I do a thee pass shave at least once every day. On days when my morning shave wasn’t completely up to snuff I will do a one pass shave later in the day.
Same situation here. Have to wear a collar shirt and tie. It becomes uncomfortable if I have hair on my neck. So pretty much every day for me.
Most every day. I skip a Saturday every now and then.
Every 2nd day...
Once or twice a day normally. Lately just once a day.
I think this would largely correlate to "how fast does your beard grow?".
I shave twice a day. Morning so I look presentable for work (and don't have my shirt catching on my neck), and evening so I don't get kicked out of bed for having an abrasive face (it's been likened to sandpaper or nettles).
But I have stupendously fast beard growth and thick stubble. Even shaving twice per day, quite closely, there's a lot to shave off each time.
On the flip-side, my brother claims he only shaves once or twice per week, but he generally looks more clean-shaven than I do.

Every other day, but I have been experimenting with every day. I noticed that blade brands that shaved poorly, perform better.
).
Every day because it keeps my face lookin young and refreshed and because it makes me feel good in the morning to do so.
Night shaver, every second evening. I travel a fair amount for work, and sometimes go 36 hrs on weekends if I have Monday morning meetings.
6 days a week, night shave so Sunday-Friday, Saturday off.
