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.
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.
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.
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.
