I am sure all of the regulars have seen this video already about razor blade production, but the narrator states a razor blade lasts about 6 shaves. So, they are designing for that goal.
3-4 shave, and to quote from the Holy Book of Antioch, " One shall Shave, but not less than three and no more than 6 for seven is not holy to they face." Besides that, That rabbit is dynamite!I know this has probably been brought up but I can’t find a thread on it.
I also know answers are going to be all over the place.
I’m a head shaver and always shave my beard and head together. I typically get 4 shaves before binning a blade. I count that as 8 shaves due to the full head/beard shave.
I typically use Astra SPs or GSBs and now also starting to use Nacets. My favorite blade though is the Astra SP.
How about you guys?
Exactly. I shave six days a week, Sundays off, and use one razor the entire week.2.
3 max.
GEMs and SEs 4-6.
I started just like you. One blade for a week. Then I found out that I could use for 2 weeks. It became normal. This year I am using a blade for 3 weeks and it has been like this for the last 2 months. I don't want to push for 4 weeks because otherwise I have more than enough blades. 12 blades for a year is a dangerous thought.Once upon a time, I liked to change blades every Sunday, so I preferred blades that lasted 5-7 shaves. I found almost every blade I used did that when I started spending time on pre-shave prep.
Now I shave with a blade until it gives out or I get bored. That might be 5 shaves, or it might be 20.
