Poll: How a many shaves with a Feather?

3-4 for me. Once it starts to drag and toss it in the yard for rue kids to play with.
Four…although, now I’m going to pay more attention to the last one (Masamune, usually).
Prior to owning a Lupo .95, at the most 6 shaves maximum. However, loaded in the Lupo, I have been able to reach 26 max so far.

3 most of the time. 3 passes.
I have a 1960 F1 Super Speed that will give 5 great shaves with a feather. 6 onward is definitely a struggle.
I have made it to 25 in a OBIF challenge, but it wasn't effective by shave 15.
Any other razor - 2-5, and the last shave often involves a mid-shave blade change.

For what it’s worth…
It’s such a pity that this thread did not include an actual poll.
(Let’s say 2 or less, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-14, more than 14)
We could easily tell where the ‘sweet spot’ for Feather blades lies.
To address that shortcoming, I have started a poll where members can vote how many shaves they get on average out of a Feather blade.
I admit that this thread might have been better placed in the Safety Razor Blades sub-forum, but as the discussion was started in this forum I place the poll here as well.

3 the same with all blades
3 for sure and in some cases will go to 4.
2 or 3. I expect at least 6 or 7 out of most DE blades I stock.

As others stated, I find the 2nd use to be ok, but a 3rd is always unpleasant, though I keep trying.

a feather in my Goodfellow I usually do 4 shaves. Once per edge then flip over.
Prob could get a bit more tbf but haven't tried.

I can get 2 solid shaves with feather blade. However, I usually bin them after a single shave. Every time I've pushed a feather past two shaves, it has always been a tuggy and lackluster 3rd shave. None the less , they are my go to blade.
I have a M-F-W blade rotation and it fits a Feather nicely.So four days.
This thread has me reevaluating my routine. I’m now doing 4 shaves and maybe a better angle. I’m thinking I have improved my shaves.
Usually, get around three to four shaves maximum with the Feather Hi-Stainless blade
3 shaves is about it.
Three, and the 2nd and 3rd are usually smoother than the first! After the 3rd shave, lots of tugging!
