Might seem like a silly question. We all know pre war safety razors are still going strong. I can understand the life of a straight is limited to a certain number of honings. However large that number may be. Adjustables, and tto also would eventually wear out, or get sloppy. But what about safetys. Theoretically a 3 piece should last forever? The face/stubble could never wear out the brass of a vintage, or the stainless of a modern surely?
I see in some threads pot metal mentioned. Some will even buy several of their favourite pot metal razors to ensure a lifetime supply. Surely even pot metal would be immune to wear for this task. So what is the limitation? Is it the threads wearing, damage through accidents, or something else?
