Thread: Wife's DE Blade Life Expectancy?

Again, thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

Perhaps a better question to ask the OP is if the wife is of Greek or Italian heritage. Of course, all bets are off if she's Armenian...

My wife uses my original SE fancy handle and stainless steel blades..1new blades changed once a week..both legs and under arms..next week..next shave..new blade...my wife is Russian :-)
