2.5 passes here. I do one wtg, then xtg, then a few touchups that are atg.

I do 2. North to south and south to north. The hairs on my neck kind of grow in all different directions, so I really do more like 2 XTG passes.
Two passes plus touch-ups.
Two passes WTG plus touch ups, never have being able to handle ATG, if there is a special occasion then the second pass is XTG, always DFS, don't care much about the baby butt smooth feeling, it doesn't last more than a couple hours anyway.
On average I'd say 2 1/2, but it really depends on the blade. If the blade is fresh it might only be one pass, but when worn it might be 3 passes or more.
By the time I need 3 full passes and 2 cleanups for the same BBS shave, I call the blade finished and start a new one.

These days, two passes, plus a bit of clean-up--all mostly ATG.
3 passes is my preferred shave: especially these days when ‘locked down’ for the Coronavirus!
3 passes every day and then touch ups most days.

Touch ups are usually the upper neck and some times the chin.
I've tried 2 passes but felt very unsatisfied.

2 passes for me.
I do a single pass shave every other day. Gives me the bests results.
Usually two plus cleanup for DFS.
Today was 3 pass for VFS.

I do two passes (ATG and XTG), both with a lot of buffing. I suspect I cover every square mm of my face at least 15 times.
I would say 2.5 for me. First with WTG, second is a combo of ATG and XTG. The last half is cleaning up mostly ATG under my chin and part of my cheeks up to my sideburns.
2.5.
2x WTG the face; .5 XTG, ATG the chin/neck.

Usually 3.5- WTG, XTG, ATG and a touch up, but sometimes it is 4 -WTG, XTG, XTG, ATG
One pass and a touch-up (so, 1.5 I figure). More than that and I'd be better off sticking my face in a porcupine.
Since buying ATT open combs s1, I find it is so good that I can get a very close shave with one pass plus touch up. For touch up, I lather and use my fingers to see which spots need the razor. My skin has been fantastic since I shaved this minimal way.. I reckon that when guys say they have sensitive skin, this is due mainly to over shaving, too many passes.

Remember to forget me!
Anywhere between 1 pass and 3.5 passes.
I typically do a one pass XTG. Good CCS, good enough for most days of the week. Every once in a while I do a 2nd ATG, but only if my skin is in great shape to start out with.

Typically 2, but 1 in a hurry. 3 when I'm using my favorite soap/razor/aftershave combo.
