8 days a week
Very rarely do I not shave every day based on the advice from my grandfather.
If I've got time to relax & enjoy it, I'll go for near-BBS, probably with a straight. That could just about keep me going for two days if I shave in the evening.
Otherwise an easy, one-or-two-pass DE shave. Daily.
If I'm away on a camping trip, maybe once or twice a week or not at all. If I return home with a beard I might keep it for a bit, until it starts to get itchy, and then I'll remember why I don't like beards. Except for shaving practice, of course.
MY DE is a mild Merkur open comb: the great advantage of open combs - and straights - is that I can shave whenever I like. I never have to worry about a point of no return where the razor will struggle to cut hair without clogging.

Everyday.
Everyday. If I had to go to some formal event in the evening then I would probably shave again. And in the unfortunate event that some emergency happens and I miss a day then I will end up paying for it later. If I miss a day the next shave is a very uncomfortable experience. With an R41 and new Feather I have to tug the razor all the way through every stroke of the first pass for the blade to cut and I will end up with 20-30 little weepers (sometimes more, like one per whisker). I can do a little better with a Mach3 in this scenario but after that shave the blade is trash and overall it's still not a pleasant experience.
Every three days when I can get away with it. Every day when I have to.
I shave whenever I feel like it.
Sometimes it’s on a 24 hr interval. Other times might be 2 or 3 days between shaves. I guess it averages out to every other day... if you do the math.

Shaving is not a chore for me. I love the solitude, the aroma of the soaps, the post shave feel, etc. I take my time and feel renewed after shaving. So...... every morning, I shave.
Every day. For a long time it was my evening ritual when unwinding from a work day. Now that I'm back to school full time it's my morning ritual to relax myself to hit the books 12+ hours a day.
Nothing like the feeling of a good shower and shave before tackling the day.

Still every day.....
Every other day is the sweet spot for me. If I'm going somewhere that I would want to be clean shaven on an "off" day I would do a light, one-pass shave, either WTG or XTG.
I used to shave daily when I had an office job. Now that I work from home, I shave every 2-3 days....and always on Sunday.
Monday, Wednesday & Friday...and sometimes Saturday.
Everyday.
Like the old song's lyrics, 'Shave everyday and you will look keen'.
I shave every day with either a 1920’s new or a 1953 super speed for a bbs shave!

I shave every other day or every third day because it provides the best and most complete experience.
