Blade Tracker Spreadsheet

Google Docs link - Add to your Google account from the "File" menu, or copy and paste to your favorite spreadsheet software.

I thought I'd share this spreadsheet that I came up with to track my blade rotation. When I started out a few months ago, I went crazy with all sorts of different brands of blade and had to keep track.

The spreadsheet scores blades based on:
  • Price (if price is no factor for you, simply make all blades the same price (not $0, because it'll mess up the division)
  • Closeness
  • Irritation
  • Average number of shaves you can expect from a single blade
  • Other user preference, for example I remove points if it's made by Gillette. Maybe you want to remove points if it comes from Feintechnik, or whatever you like.
There are also fields for notes, and a column for which razor you think the blade works best in, if you have multiple razors. By sorting the overall score low-to-high, you can see which blades you like best.

I hope this helps somebody, and feel free to share this on other forums, etc.
