Thread: Blade change frequency

Personally, I enjoy my shave better after the blade has been used once. It's more forgiving, and I get less nicks. There's nothing wrong with changing it everytime if you don't mind the cost though. Whatever works in your favor.

usually 3-5, sometimes even 6 shaves, is about the lifespan of DE razors for me.

I like a new blade every shave, I tried most of the blades made, persona,feather,astra,derby and quite a few others but I have really tough hair I can dull a feather in 2 shaves so now although I like the astras a lot most of the time use a dorco blade one time only, I buy a 1,000 at a time so its really only about $80.00 for 2 1/2 years of blades
