Turning Over a Blade For One More Shave.

Turning Over a Blade For One More Shave?:
Ok firstly I bin a blade after three shaves, there cheap so who cares. The reason I'm curious is because of those rare occasions like your stranded at the in-laws for another night of torture, or the plane goes down on a desert island. So the question is, have any of you done this and does it work??

You are shaving with the edge, not the "side".
Flipping doesn't help any more than you are extending the life of a steak knife by swapping hands.

This. A blade has two edges, not four sides.

yup as others have said. doesn't work. be sure to bring extra blades

you can try to palm strop or jeans strop. that MIGHT give you one extra irritation free shave.
