How many shaves will the blade last for ?

i agree with Matthew, it depends on your whiskers. my husband doesn't have enough to grow much of a beard, so his use of the blade is pretty light, i guess. The blade starting cutting him a little after about a month i think, and he changed the blade.

I gotten up to 10, but then I switched to another brand of blades to try them. I think at about 10 for my beard was the limit. I've only returned to DE shaving since mid-December, and I've tried 4 different brands. The Feather and Wilkinson Sword seem best for my needs. I have friend who has been using DEs for decades, and he says he gets them to last a long time, but he did not define the length of time.

I use mine for 3 weeks for about probably 16 shaves. They can probably last longer and it depends how thick your beard comes in.

i have an average beard but thick hairs. 4-7 shaves and i only do a pass or two each shave.

I shave daily and have a fairly tough beard that grows rather rapidly, i can comfortably shave about 10-14 times without issue.

5-7 double or triple pass shaves before I traded out seeming to dull for a smooth pass

I have course facial hair so i got 4 shaves out of a blade before i felt like i should change it

noI have an older shaver that I use for longer hairs with a hair clipper (that is not as useful for regular shaving)Even if it lasts only a year or two I consider it a bargain. two AA batteries last almost 2 weeks

It comes with one blade and it can last several shaves depending on your skin, your hairs, etc. Some men get 4-5 shaves out of a single blade, I use mine 1-2 times because I have very sensitive skin and thick facial hairs. But at a few cents per blade, using them even just once is a steal compared to cartridge razors.

I shave every day, using enough for 2/3 passes, and I bought my jar halfway through March. it is now October and I think it has a few weeks left. So it will last at least 6/7 months if you are like me.

I'm no expert, but that depends. Each person has a different thickness of whiskers. My thickness is medium, and I get prolly 5 to 6 shaves from each blade.

It comes with only one blade. But it lasts 4-5 shaves at least. Works really good.

I get about four three-pass shaves from a blade. Sometimes I can stretch it to five. Remember, these are about the sharpest blades available; that means a thin edge, which means a somewhat shorter life.

It comes with one blade. It's recommended to replace about every third or forth shave but I can usually get a week+ out of one blade with irritation.

Google says 20 drops of water per mL. This bottle has about 19mL. So that's about 380 drops. If you shave everyday, 4 drops each shave, it will last you about 90 days. About 3 months. If you shave every 2-3 days (like me), it'll last your over half a year.

Every one has different types of skin. So my recommendation would be Astra or Personna... They both last me 3-4 good shaves a piece. Feather razors are good but are really sharp. I use all 3..can't go wrong with those

I have shaved for years with the same blade. The only part of the blade that changes is the lubricating strip, which always dries up after about a dozen shaves. But the blades themselves will always be sharp and capable of shaving - literally for years. It's like that with all the products from Gillette, Schick, and Bic.

I shave with feather blades. They last around 45 to 70 shaves. I remove the blade after use, rinse and dry it, then store it in its original wrapper soaked in mineral oil. One way to kill a blade quickly is to dry shave with it. Soak your unshaven face with a washcloth and hot soapy water prior to soaping up and shaving. This makes cutting stubble easier for the blade.

In my vibrating Quattro razor, I get about 12 shaves per blade...maybe more. They're expensive but really last. Also, less cuts and nicks. I love the vibrating razor.

I do 4 shaves then change blades. Good blades like ASTRA SP - 100 for about $10USD- are too cheap to use a dull blade.

I use the Merkur blades. I have been shaving with this razor for over a year. I shave every day, and replace the blade once a month. I don't replace the blade because it has stopped shaving well, just that it seems I should replace it periodically, and once a month seems like a good interval.

my understanding is that all the personna blades are different. only ever used this one though. cant say id recomend it. the blade it self is rather gentle in the razors ive used it in but doesnt stay sharp long. maybe 2 shaves where as with the feather blades i can get 10 shaves out of each

3 shaves. My beard is somewhat coarse. I can push it out longer, but at ten cents a blade there's no need.
