How many traditional wet shaves do you have under your belt?
- Thread starter Marco
- Start date
About 225-I started in early March last year.
Roughly 350. I started in 2012, but didn't track stuff for the first part of the year. Have every shave since Sept 6, 2012 tracked.
I usually shave 5-6 times a week.

I started back in March and at 6-7 shaves per week that leaves me way behind some but getting there. Does using a brush to make a very poor lather count? I was doing that for about two years before I stumbled across this fine group.
Hi,
I have been at it since 1976. I skip maybe one day in a month. So, well over 10k now. Heck, over 13k, actually. Sheesh!

I started last March so that's around 250.
Well over 100 but far, far less than 1,000 so far, if we are discounting cartridge shaving (which we clearly are). That also holds true for shaves using a brush. If we simply count any wet shaving with excellent prep (minus the brush) and quality lather, then the total is well over 1,000 (but south of 6,000, I'm sure).
I consider myself still a relative noob at DE shaving, though I don't seem to have any major issues (no weepers, nicks, irritation, etc.) I'd like to think I prep like a pro---I'd like to think that, anyway.

Wet shaving with carts 6000-7000, Traditional style DE or straight plus brush estimates are around 900.
A shave every other day since 1963 puts me over 9000
Oh man let's see, I started shaving when I was 15, or 16, now I'm a couple days away from 36. I didn't start shaving with a DE until around 3 years ago though, if only I had realized sooner that there was a more enjoyable way. Regardless I shave almost every day so I'd say somewhere around 900-1000 shaves with a DE and a few with a straight.
Over 4000 shaves with the canned goo, then after seeing the light of DE shaving, I have 48 under the belt now.
I've only been shaving for a few months so I'm still under 100.
All of 5. I've only had my razor for about 8 days but I rarely shave 2 days in a row.
With traditional DE wetshaving, most days except for a few bearded months for 8 years. Just shy of 3,000 if I did my math right.
Every other day, for just over a year now. Somewhere around 150?
50x365. ...... :-(

I started using a DE in November but have only been lathering since I got a brush in December so I'm way under 100, I try to shave every other day. Prior to this I had been using a fusion, then it came time for me to buy new blades and I just didn't feel like shelling out $16 for a pack of 4 cartridges. A tuckaway came my way and I started using that along with astra sp blades. Since then I have acquired a fatboy which is what I use as my daily shaver although I do want to pick up some more vintage OC razors in the near future.
I'm at about 50 now, striving to reach the coveted BBS, but I still have some stubble left over.
I think BBS is overrated. During weekdays, all I want is a good and quick two pass DFS. BBS is for when I am in the mood.
Ya, I'm a quality engineer, nuff said! LOL Maybe BBS for Sundays...
