I toss my DE blade after 3 shaves. At less than 3 cents per shave w my Lord Plats that rate of consumption doesn’t offend my famously cheap nature
I use Chinese Schick (yellow package) injectors for 6 shaves before I pitch’em. You might find this a better option for your tough beard. Schicks plough through tough beards like nothing else I know of. I get 7 Chicks for about $5.50 but that’s good for 42 shaves or 13 cents per shave. A little more but a tremendous savings over cart shaving. And every shave is BBS
You can go cheaper w Personna or Pella blades but it’s not worth it: they’re as dull as butter knives and the dispenser is unusable.
