A single Gillette Rubie will last me about a year in my Ming Shi 2000S and I shave with this regularly.
My last shave was with a Gillette Silver Blue. It was my 51st shave with it. The second shave on a GSB is better by far than the first. If I remember correctly, at about the 18th or 20th shave I was less than happy with the blade, and put it in a Slant razor. It then went back to acting like it was shave number 2.
Everyone is different, and every blade is different. To me part of the fun of this "strange hobby" is the "hyper-miling" of the blades.
No they would not. They are a bunch of uncultured Neanderthals, unlike you and me!!!I have also found that using a blade in my slant seems to increase the number of shaves I get from it.
Would other B&B members find the same thing?
It’s not a question of how often, it’s a question of when.On average, how many shaves do you get per blade? And, how can you tell when it's time for a change? I know blades are super cheap, so cost isn't a concern when it comes to replacing, but I don't want to be wasting unnecessarily either.
So far I've been replacing about every 5 shaves, but mostly because I'm still trying out different blades to see (1) what works best and (2) if I can tell any difference.
