Today was day 11 on the same blade and one of the best shaves yet. I did a two pass shave with some XTG cleanup and have a DFS+ with no irritation. The Florida Water barely stung. I'm pretty danged excited to be figuring this thing out. I have a question for Feather AC Users. How many shaves do you get out of a blade? I was making a mistake tossing them after one week.

Way to go! Glad to see this is working so well for you. I can typically use my Feather blades for up to a week, but for what I can pay for a blade (about $0.12 Canadian), I typically throw them out after that one week.

Thank you. I'm doing my this out of curiosity. I'll probably stick with a week afterwards. Originally Posted by Lolita1x2

A very nice refreshing 2 pass shave 1 WTG, 1 XTG. I love the Blenheim Bouquet. I'm filling up the piggy bank to get the fragrance. I got a sample of the from SRD, and I'm sold on it. Nice to get to try it.

When I was using the Feather Pro blades in my Cobras, a few years ago, I used to get, typically, 10 good shaves with them. Originally Posted by Mrchick
