It seems to me that by the time I take out the blade (so I can clean and polish the razor properly), and dry it, and wrap it, and put it somewhere for a week after being used, it would degrade a little. But actually, now I think of it, I guess it's not that much of a hassle...
You clean and polish the razor after every use? Do you do that with your car also?-just kidding.

I use a DE on and off and I expect to get 3 shaves from the blade. With me it's more an issue of remembering how many times I used it. I only thoroughly clean a DE maybe every 6 months or so.
