It used to be easy to keep track of how many times I had shaved with a given blade; I shave every day, and every Sunday I would put a new blade in my razor. Seven shaves per blade seemed to work well for most blades in my DE razor. And I only used one razor. Now, like many folks here, I use several different razors with several different blade types: DE, AC, Gem and sometimes injector. I could just wait until a blade starts to feel a bit uncomfortable, but I am probably too OCD to leave it at that. In fact I must be, because that is what I have been doing, and here I am looking for a way to systematize the process.
The best idea I've come up with is to buy a handful of small (8mm) dice. I have my razors (the 5 or 6 that I am currently using) lined up on a glass shelf in the bathroom. I figured I could put one die next to each one and rotate it after each use. What do the rest of you folks do?
