I have been using Feathers exclusively since 2008. I constantly get five, three pass shaves from them. How many shaves do you guys get from these? Just curious. Thanks.
Poll: How a many shaves with a Feather?

Three usually. Once or twice I got four, but the shave wasn't as good.
3 and done. My daily razor is a Feather unless I’m trying something out of curiosity.
I get 3-4 good shaves from a Feather.
With other blades, I usually get 7 shaves.

Three × 3 - 4 pass shaves and then, in the bin. 
3-4 days, I would change 2x a week.
Now I use Merkur or Muhle blades for 7 days.

2 pass, 3 shaves. But I do that with almost every blade.
Edit to add:
I’m lazy and don’t want to have to deal with a blade change mid shave.

3 sublime shaves and done.
I used to do 7+ shaves with these. Recently realized that 5 shaves maximum gets me the best results. My favorite blade.
With Feather AC Pros about 12-15 shaves.
3 shaves in most razors. In the Masamune and in the 'Merica I can get 4 or 5 - I suspect it is due to the angle and how well the blade is clamped on those razors.
One weekly face & head shave.
Two shaves & bin.
Every time I try for 3, I regret it. I keep trying though.

2 and done here. Almost all my other blades the 2nd shave is slightly better but not with Feathers. The initial shave with a Feather is sublime and unmatched.
I can usually get seven three pass shaves out of a Feather blade. I start on a Monday and finish on a Sunday. Feather blades work best for me in milder razors such as a Tech or a Merkur 34C/G.
I find it the same. First shave is as good as a nicely honed straight razor. Second shave is okay and sometimes I go for a third shave but most of the time I replace it after two shaves. Life is too short to shave with blunt blades and new ones are not expensive.
One & done.
I go eight with no problem.
4-5, could probably get a couple more. I use them almost exclusively. What are some of you doing? Scratching the on cement?
One & done.
