This should work.

Recent versions of org-mode flag this as an error.  So I just use the
first example you have for things that repeat daily (as habits)

,----
| if: Habit Shave deadline repeat period is less than or equal to scheduled (.+1d/1d)
`----

I'm not sure why equal is considered an error in this case.  It breaks
agenda display completely for me until I edit the offending habit entry.

Any repeater should be valid.  (.+1d, ++1d, +1d)
