I'm only able to shave every other day because I have sensitive skin. I wish I could shave every day since I'm new to DE shaving, but that would not last long since I'm lazy by nature. So...I shave every other day because of my type of skin and because I'm lazy.

Usually 6 times a week. I shave at night so Sunday night through Thursday night. Usually skip Friday night and then shave late morning on Saturday.

I have really sensitive skin as well. I'll share what I'm doing in case it might make a difference.

Like you, I'm new to wet shaving. The only blades some far that work for me are Feathers with a very, very light touch. I have sensitive skin and thick whiskers, so I need something sharp for cutting with a light touch for the skin. I really am letting the weight of the razor do all the work. I also use shaving oil on every pass and it has made a big difference.

I started with Taconic brand oil. Then I saw a recipe for home made that is four parts olive oil and one part mineral oil. The article claimed it was better than what you can buy and based on my limited experience with one brand they are correct.

Also, I shower before shaving in the morning and wash my face followed by three minutes of moist warm towels before shaving in the evening.

Shaven in the Past
I shave daily three passes. Now that I'm retired I have the time to fiddle and it's become somewhat of a hobby as I manage an 8 razor rotation. I look forward to my 30-45 minute morning bowl shave, equipment clean-up, and the next day equipment layout.

I shave daily - 2 passes at least depending on time and equipment. I have a lot of soaps to get through and the quiet time is appreciated.

I try to shave five times a week.

That makes once every 168/5 hours, which is 33.6 hours.

Since the others like shaving so much, I shall shave more often than I used to.
