Pretty much everyday, once in a while I'll miss one.
Who shaves EVERY single day?

Two passes every day, have been doing so for 20+ years.
No pressure. Find your angle. Opt in for two passes vs. trying to nail it the first time through.
Patience is a virtue.

With an occasional day off over the years, I have shaved everyday since Basic Training!
I would suggest trying a different blade, perhaps a Astra SP or Red Personna.
Daily shaver here, using Mühle R41, Shark SS blade and a nice Silvertip brush. The only thing I vary is soap/cream.
What was causing your irritation? Inquiring minds want to know.
Best I can figure is that I needed a sharper blade. I was using Derby & Shark, because I hacked my face to bits with Astras when I first started, but that turned out to be a bad first razor, but I was still a bit skittish of sharper blades. Then I got my Super Speed, but was still only shaving every other day, because of irritation. I finally decided to give sharper blades another try, and the very first shave after moving to a sharper blade, no more irritation.
Cool. Hope things keep improving for you. I'm also hoping to shave every day if my technique continues to improve...so far, so good.
I shave every day with a DE. Once in awhile I will take a day off, especially if my face is getting irritated...
I'm retired, so no more shave-every-morning for me. My skin has gotten less resilient over the years, so I feel irritation if I shave every 24 hours. 36 hours between shaves is perfect, but I shave at night, so I end up shaving every-other day. Which works just fine.
I may shave every day for a few days in a row if I have to look presentable. If I don't have to look presentable, which is much of the time, I shave every three to four days, like most California beach bums. 
Shave every day with a DE and sometimes twice a day if I have an evening function.
I shave everyday. It's the best way to start my day.
I've been DE shaving for about 4 months now and I shave everyday with the occasional day off to let my face recover. I use an EJ DE89 with Gillette 7 O'clock greens, and Proraso green & red depending on time of day, I work shifts so shaving times vary. I get virtually no irritation now, when I used carts I would skip 2 or 3 days because I hated shaving (got lots of irritation and shave lumps round my neck line), then I found this forum and a whole new hobby started. My wife wants to know when I'll start saving money as promised when I started.

every day, except when I am camping.
Every day since feb. 1976' basic training except when I had chicken pox.
I shave everyday. I use a ED 89Lbl as my primary razor. When I'm pressed for time or traveling, I'll use a cartridge. Prior to my introduction to the DE razor, shaving was just a chore. Now, I welcome the feel of stubble and view it as an opportunity to try out a new soap or cream. Weird huh?
Every day, frequently twice.
