Count the blade usage

[Halfbeard]

I usually keep track of blade usage. I see that many user use dice for that purpose.
For me the dice is object that does not belong to bathroom.
Bathroom has plenty of objects that can used to follow blade usage. It has to be asymmetrical.
For the most convenient is cup with teethbrush. Cups handle serves as pointer for blade usage.

This is just an idea to consider.

That's creative problem-solving, well done!

Simple it is.
It is something that does not belong to bathroom. More simple and easy is use something that belongs naturally to environment.

Whatever you say, it's your post! Are you sure you want to have a toothbrush open to the environment in a bathroom with a flushing toilet? I won't go into the details on that.

Maybe I could hang an abacus on the wall. Functional Art...

The thread is about easy counting.
BTW You do not know architecture of my house, do you ?

I'm just joking with you! I'll be going now...

How will you continue counting after 8? 8 shaves would be a minimum for me to call it a good blade.

 

[Halfbeard]

Use your creativity. You have surely something more to turn. I use Yintal Bronze razor holder. I marked it with dot to make it asymmetrical. So I can count 8x8=64 shaves. Never needed more.

Here’s the last time this topic was brought up:

Keeping track of number of shaves per blade

Has anyone devised a good, simple, convenient way to count the number of shaves per blade? Ideally, as I load a new blade I could set a device to 1. Each time that I pull the razor out to shave I could increment the count. When the blade is exhausted, I could record the blade brand, type, and...

Good for you. I use a die. I'm considerably less pedantic about what belongs in a particular room of the house. YMMV. If it works for you I'm all for it.

My excel daily shave log spreadsheet helps me keep track, along with the dice cube.

Personally, I don’t believe a toothbrush belongs in the bathroom. Or a cup for that matter. I don’t keep either of them in my bathroom. I guess you could tear bits of toilet paper off and leave on the counter to keep track. Stack soap bars? Spin the shampoo bottle?

I used to move the toilet plunger on different tiles of the bathroom floor, until someone mentioned they thought I had a problem.

Why count at all? If the razor starts to tug you'll know it's time for a replacement.

I keep it simple. I only use a blade once. Life is too short of lousy shaves.

 

[BradWorld]

In the rare occasion when I want to count blade usage, I use a D20 die. Sue me.

 

[DesertIguana]

Why make big deal out of nothing big?

 

[Lockback]

I keep a spread sheet and mark which blades I'm using and how many shaves each day.
I do that because I don't have a life.

Hi,

Participate in One Blade February. Find out exactly how far a blade goes. You will find out it is a lot longer than you think. I find 21-25 days year after year.

So, to keep it simple, I run a blade from the 1st thru the 15th. Then the 16th thru the end of the month. Well within the life span of the blade. Easy. And I don't have to think about it or use dice or cups or toothbrushes.

Or, since it seems that 6 is the number, make it 7 and change it out every Monday (or whatever day of the week you like best).
