With many blades, the 2nd shave tends to be better than the 1st.
I do not know how many shave you can get out of a blade, but many of us with coarse beards can only get a few shaves. There is no way I could use a blade for 10 shaves, much less 50 or 100.
The first shaves with alot of blades I try are harsh. That's one reason I like Derby or Dorco blades, they are sharp enough for a few shaves and are never harsh like that new. I'd rather go through 2-3 blades a week than suffer through a harsh shave just to get to a decent shave.
Shark Super Stainless seems like a bit of a compromise between the two extremes.
