when I was shaving with a cartridge razor I use to shave every other day, my face and neck just couldn't take it daily.
I've now switched to DE, my first shave there was less irritation than with a cartridge, I shaved the following 2 days in a row and the irritation seemed to get less and less each day. I then skipped a day and shaved today and I found there was more irritation than my last two DE shaves (still better than my cartidge days).
I was just wondering with the DE process as your are reducing the beard with each pass is it better to shave everyday so as you have less beard to reduce, thus you'd get a closer shave with fewer passes, than it is to shave every other day and reduce a fuller beard. (from an irritation standpoint)
My blade sampler arrived, so I'll do one more day on my second Merkur blade and try a Derby next.
