1. An image forming method comprising:
charging a surface of an electrophotographic photoreceptor by a charging device disposed to be in contact with or be adjacent to the surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor which includes a conductive base and a photosensitive layer provided on the conductive base and in which an uppermost layer is configured with a cured film of a composition having a reactive charge transport material; forming an electrostatic latent image on a charged surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor; developing the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor with a developer including a toner including toner particles and fatty acid metal salt particles to form a toner image; transferring the toner image to a surface of a recording medium; and cleaning the surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor with a cleaning blade in contact with the surface of the electrophotographic photoreceptor, wherein, when a content of the fatty acid metal salt particles with respect to the entire weight of the toner is set as Rmf (% by weight), an average abrasion rate of the electrophotographic photoreceptor is set as Wh (nm/1,000 rotations), a maximum abrasion rate of the electrophotographic photoreceptor is set as Whmax (nm/1,000 rotations), and a minimum abrasion rate of the electrophotographic photoreceptor is set as Whmin (nm/1,000 rotations), in a case where an image having three image patterns having different image densities is repeatedly formed in a high temperature and high humidity environment, and an average abrasion rate of the electrophotographic photoreceptor is set as Wl (nm/1,000 rotations), a maximum abrasion rate of the electrophotographic photoreceptor is set as Wlmax (nm/1,000 rotations), and a minimum abrasion rate of the electrophotographic photoreceptor is set as Wlmin (nm/1,000 rotations), in a case where an image having three image patterns having different image densities is repeatedly formed in a low temperature and low humidity environment, the following Expression (A1), the following Expression (B1), the following Expression (B2), the following Expression (C1), and the following Expression (C2) are satisfied:
