How many shaves are you guys getting from this blade? I had one in my shovel head and I lost count. The only reason I took it out was that it was taking longer to get a smooth shave.

I’ve extended the Kai Captain Mild Pink blade that I’m currently using to 11 shaves, and counting.
Pretty sure the OP is talking about GEM blades, rather than Artist Club blades, but you are correct that the Kai AC blade is also coated with PTFE.
I don't use Gem razors much anymore, but when I did I usually got about 10 or 12 good shaves from a blade. With the AC blades I get closer to 15.

That's about right, 10-12 shave s with one blade. I stop counting after 7.
I toss mine after 14 shaves.
Head shaver. I get 5-6 shaves out of a Gem Personna PTFE; I get 8-9 shaves out of a Kai Pink in a safety razor, 6-8 shaves in a barber straight.

Gem PTFE 8-12 shaves so I toss at max 10 average, Feather AC pro 7-9 toss at 8 average, Kai protouch pink 6-8 toss at 7 average.
The most shaves with a Gem SS PTFE blade is 16 when testing yrs ago.

Same here. I'll see if that holds up during Single Edge SEptember.
My last PTFE GEM got 15 shaves and the current has 12 so far.
During the eighth shave, I feel a slight decrease in sharpness and throw away the blade.
12ish for me.

15 - 20 for me.
5 to 6. Three passes each shave.
15-20 here too

12ish as well. Sometimes far more than 12 (got 20 once), but almost always at least 12. I can't say the same for GEM carbons (although I like how they shave for the 4 or so shaves I get).
