Usually 3. 2 if the previous days shave left my face in poor condition.
How many passes is your usual shave?

3 passes on face, 4 on neck. I like it smooth.
I do the 2, first WTG and a combo of XTG. 2nd is ATG and a combo of XTG again. Shave is always at least DFS and the occasional BBS.
Usually I do two complete passes and the third pass is from the jawline down, with lots of blade buffing and J-hooking over the most common trouble spots. Usually I need little if any additional touching up to achieve a DFS every time.
A couple of weeks ago I tried doing two passes and calling it good, but I was spending so much time paying special attention to ALL of the spots I've had trouble with in the past that it was actually taking longer than going ahead with the third pass.

2 passes. A WTG and a very light ATG.
Two. N-S (mostly WTG, and some XTG) first, then on alternate shaves I'll either do XTG or ATG.
At first it was four, then it was three, now it is two. I've found my ability to get a good shave has vastly improved and as such have managed to reduce my standard shave to two passes. I still do more on the weekend or when I've otherwise got time.
2 passes with a lil touch up around the chin strap area.
Three passes for a BBS shave. I tried to do two passes only and I really wanted it to work out, but I just wasn't satisfied with the shave and went back to three passes.
For me it's a four pass shave: WTG, XTG, XTG and ATG. BBS shave just about every time.
Generally two with a DE, sometimes one with a sharp straight. I prefer going easy and feeling nice at the end over a bunch of passes that leave me burned. I pretty much avoid ATG passes these days because they don't leave my skin feeling happy.
Two passes for me. Buffing after.
2 pass, usually WTG and XTG.
Two passes for me. First one WTG/XTG and second one XTG/ATG.
I go with 3, usually. Sometimes, if i shave like a goofball (impatiently with too much pressure), its just 2 with touch ups.
I'm a two pass shaver now. Great shave, no irritation.
One. More if I'm going on a date with Sofia Vergara.
Injector, DE or SE it's two-passes and a touch-up, DFS is all I need, BBS is overrated and could lead to irritation or ingrown hairs for some.
