Just a thought...
After shaving, do you take the blade out to clean the DE razor and dry both?10Pups likes this.

Curious. Just how many shaves does the average guy get from a DE blade? I would think more than 3 or 4??
My old neighbor still uses his Army issue from the late 40's. He was bitching about the blades from Walgreens, etc. I gave him a stack of Personna platinums. He says he can shave a month with one.Leatherstockiings likes this."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Maybe a little face scrubbing/beard softening prep would help.
"Drying the blades and razor" This is another reason every man cave bathroom should have a compressed air outlet.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Most of my experience has been with Dollar General blades made in Korea. I switched the blades out after three shaves because the shaves got rough on shave four. The blade would still cut, just wasn't smooth.
A couple of months ago I bought Personna Platinums and Astra blades. The Personnas would give 4 good shave but I didn't try further. 3 shaves in with my first Astra blade. I might see how many comfortable shaves I can get.
