I'm late to the party this week.
Last longer isn't surprising. For more shaves and passes?Hello again all,
Back on the 2nd Feb I started using a Gillette Wilkinson Sword Saloon Pack (India) in my Fatip Piccolo normally shaving every other day (two pass shaves). Today was the tenth shave on this blade and I'm sure there are more to come. I'm using Arko and Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm as usual.
I'm a huge fan of this blade and the "every other day" shaving pattern works a treat. Oddly it seems to make the blades last longer.
Enjoy your shaves!
I'm using two passes every other day, and at present have 10 shaves on the blade (it is still going strong). That is significantly more shaves than I would get if using the blade for daily shaving - and that's what puzzles me a little (it's also pleasing, of course).Last longer isn't surprising.

How many passes do you normally do when shaving daily?I'm using two passes every other day, and at present have 10 shaves on the blade (it is still going strong).

Normally two. More than that causes irritation for me when shaving daily, and a third pass often brings weepers so I avoid it these days. I do touch-ups if needed after the two passes.How many passes do you normally do when shaving daily?
Just checking if it were apples to applesNormally two. More than that causes irritation for me when shaving daily, and a third pass often brings weepers so I avoid it these days. I do touch-ups if needed after the two passes.

Could be your skin is recovering more, so shave is more comfortable. Or perhaps your taking more care in shaving.
It was once thought in SR shaving, that the edge needed a day rest to return to shape properly. Pretty much discounted nowadays though.
