18th use of my Astra SP in my GC 0.84. Starting to get tugs while shaving and leaving visible stubble behind on my neck and in an unfortunate part of my upper lip that made me look like a German genocidal dictator. This was after several ATG buffing passes too, but using slight pressure alongside riding the guard thankfully shaved those areas. I think this blade is on its last legs. Time to try a feather.

Quoting myself as a reference point....

Funnily enough, when I thought the above blade needed to be replaced, I palm stropped it and put it in a Fatip Piccolo to see if it would shave. It turns out that it still cuts down stubble nicely.

The Astra SP is now on its 24th use and counting.
