Well, it has finally made it to Mainstream America: A story in Yahoo! on how often to change your razor blade:

Complete with video and comments by a shaving consultant from AoS.

Comments from readers range from the ridiculous to the sublime, mostly.

according to the experts at The Art of Shaving, you should change your blade every three to five shaves, or up to seven shaves if you have light hair.

The Art of Shaving is owned by Proctor and Gamble (who owns Gillette). The article is a thinly veiled piece who's sole purpose is to sell more blades (and other Art of Shaving products). I wouldn't be at all surprised if Gillette paid off the writer of the piece!!

It is interesting that they (The Art of Shaving) admit that men with sensitive skin should be using a single blade.

Before I started hanging out at B&B so much I was spending more time at Yahoo! than I currently do. Pretty much anything by Farnoosh Torabi could be counted on to be an under researched fluff piece. She has excellent screen presence and is an overall good presenter, but no depth to the material.
