What's funny is that I only cut myself when I try one of the techniques that I read on these forum!

In your case that's 40 years times 52 weeks equals 2080 weeks. 2080 weeks times say an average of 2 shaves a week equals 4160 shaves. Take heed newbies, 100 shaves into this and you'll get pretty good.

And until I joined this site, it was with the same two razors. And I typically shave 5 times per week.

There was a lot of business travel where I used hotel room razors in Asia and Eastern Europe or my AA battery Braun travel razor.
