DE Blade Life
Just thought I'd see about how many shaves that people manage to get out of each DE blade, I'm sure it varies from person to person and manufacturer to manufacturer. I'm sure some sort of average could be made out of it though still, new to DE and thought I'd see how long to expect a blade to last. I have some merkur's and feather's in route, but plan on using the merkur's and just for touch-up or when I want a quicker shave.

From what I've read, back in the days when the DE was the main razor folks changed blades once a week. There are a lot of variables in blade longevity.

I have gone anywhere from six months to two years depending on the brand of blade. I had a Super Dinosaur that went for two years.

Maybe it was one of those blades that one can strap to keep it sharp Originally Posted by joke1176

I can't find it right now but over on B&B there was a poll about this about 3 weeks ago. I think the average was 3.5 shaves per blade. For me it's closer to 1..
