Just out of curiosity, how many shaves do folks get out of their AC blades? I use Prolines almost exclusively. I like to shoot for 10 - 3 pass shaves, but sometimes that's a stretch. I generally get 5 or so out of a DE blade, and sometimes wonder if 10 is wishful thinking for AC.

Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink, ATT X1. I can get usually 9 shaves with it.

Problem for this boy is I tend to start getting bored after about Shave 6 and want to use something else. Nine shaves is about three weeks of shaving for me.

O.H.
 
I go with a dozen shaves with all my AC blades. I probably could get more, but I don't swap blades in razors and by the 12th shave, I'm ready to switch to another razor.

Some people do a daily 3 pass shave, some shave 1 pass every 3 days. I don’t know if daily shaves are easier on a blade than having three days growth for each shave, but “shaves” might not cover the difference. Maybe counting passes instead of shaves would be a more precise answer.

The best blade I have used for my Yaqi Romulus is the Kai Captain Titian mild pink > 8-10 shaves.
I have used Feather and Schick proline AC blades also and the Kai CTMP blades seem to be the best for longevity and finish results IMO.

And to add to what you wrote, the coarseness and fullness of one's beard.
