If I live to be 75, I will need 4320 Blades. If I invest all the money I save on blades in my 401k and don't get ripped off by Wall St. I should be able to keep myself in MWF and Tabac until they close the box on me
How many blades will last you to the grave?

I'd say 2500 blades. I'm 26 and I'd say maybe another 40 yrs for me.
Assuming I live at least another 40 years to the age of 80 and presuming that I continue to get a week out of each blade consistently: 2,080 blades needed which means I need to buy about 1,630 more. hmm..... 
Already been there and done that - and it makes allowances for some blades being longer lived than others...
Well if I die tomorrow then I have 99 to many. If I live to 50 then I will need a lot more. I better buy like 1000 blades before they stop making them. Now I am starting to panic
So my estimate is that you are 75-ish now. This kind of stuff is designed to fail in 5 (give or take 2) years...
When will you stop this nonsense and admit you can't see goodbye to your Fusion yet....
May I suggest picking up a DE; lots of guys here willing to help....
First, you need to know when... and how!

then you can calculate how much shaves you have left!

I'm 30 and I reckon I will be capable of shaving myself for a maximum of 60 years. So using a blade every 3 days, 120 a year - 7,200. After that I reckon I'll be stuck with the nursing home assistant doing the job with an electric.
I usually use Feathers which are £41 for 200 so about £1,500 for my lifetime supply. For something which is used every day, that seems pretty cheap.
I wonder about those two old gents, first world war veterans, who died earlier on this year at 111 and 113 and how their shaving needs were attended to - neither of them sported a beard. I'd like to think even at that advanced age I'd want to look my best.

Assuming I get at to be at least 78, I would need at least 10,500. So I have already stocked 5,500 
+1 - Although I haven't met a straight shaver yet who has only 1 blade, including myself.
Wow that is a lot of blades. One day I will be there too.Assuming I get at to be at least 78, I would need at least 10,500. So I have already stocked 5,500
I have enough blades to last well beyond the grave so I plan to be buried with them along with a few razors, brushes and plenty of soap. Can't be looking unkempt in the afterlife.
If I match my father, I have 24 years left. Figure 360 shaves a year, since I don't quite manage one every day. Figure 3.5 shaves on average with all brands of DE blades. I need 2469 blades.
But that doesn't take into account my upcoming experiments with SE and injectors. If those work out, I gather that I might get more shaves per blade.

B&B membership has its percs
According to the US government actuarial tables, I will need about 1000 blades, . Cripes, better redo the math ..
Ok, better, 22x52=1154 blades, if all DEs. Whew, better cyphering by Jethro "Cut down" by SE, Injector & ST8t shaves.
Bemind me why we needed to be reminded of this?

The beminding process is actually quite painful. I seriously doubt you'd really want us to do that to you.
Sorry. I have this little problem....I can't turn down good opportunities.

Geez I dunno
I have enough blades to last just over 22 years now and in that time I will be... 61 years old....dunno if I will be dead or not my dad ain't dead and he's 62 and his dad (original owner of my Super Speed) died at 90. Who knows??? I could be eaten by a puma tomorrow for that matter.

Let's see. Based on family history I should live to be 79. I'm hoping that I can still shave at that age. I average a blade and a half a week. I already have approximately 400 blades.
The good news is that, in round numbers, I only have to purchase 1100 blades.
The bad news is that I only have to purchase 1100 blades.

About 4000 blades and figuring rather middle of the road, not too extravagantly optimistic on the life expectancy thing.
