How Many Shaves Per Blade?
I'm often asked by "newbies" how many shaves they should expect out of their DE blades. Its a tough question to answer because there are so many variables, not the least of which is the particular brand of blade they're using. But here is a poll from badgerandblade about shaves per blade. It looks like the average is 3-5 shaves. How about you? The results of my poll:

am a newbie.. was just checking how to comment on a post...lol
I can typically get 6 good days worth out of my merkurs. It's convenient because I know every Monday to change my blade. If I go over 6, I'll be pressing my luck.
I can usually get 3-4 shaves per Merkur blade. It depends on how often I go in between shaves. When it cuts heavier growth each time, I get less shaves.
Hey old school shavers, would you guys post your favorite double-edge blade brands? Thanks, doublejnyc
