Quite a few. If you find them dulling you can hone them on a pair of jeans.

Just rub the razor along your thigh backwards a few times

Like that rubbing them backward on your hand after you rinse leps keep the blades from closing and parting.

Really depends on how strong the stubble

Daily I get 7/8 but shaving 3/4 stubble each time 4/5 shaves

Never really counted just use it until it gets dull and pulls the hair rather than cut it then just throw it away use a new one shouldn’t matter where you shave as long as you don’t let the hair get too long and clog up the blades

I shaved my head and neck. I generally find they last about 8 to 10 shaves.

My grandfather taught me that the secret to a good shave is preparation of the skin and hair. It needs to be warm and supple so as not to dull the razor too quickly.

He used an open razor.

Are we talking the cheap disposable ones or the " I need to talk to the bank manager first" ones?

There no denying the good Gillette razors are awesome but once that blue strip of gel is gone, it all goes quickly downhill after that. Id probably still get 30 odd goes from one before the blades go dull

Depends on the quality of the blade, thickness of the hair and how often you use it...

I do once a week usually or before every meet.

Average is about 5 or 6 before I toss them.

Nice trick is to use the ladies Venus razor. Much better than the mens razor for certain areas

I don't shave. Get my beard trimmed in a barbers, use a sculpting scissors for down below and don't have back hair to deal with. When I did shave, when I was trying to get the beard to grow out properly, probably 3 to 4.

I gave up on store bought razors when I was shaving because my beard is so course I was spending a fortune on blades.

In the end I switched to a double edged razor and found a brand of blades called Feather that were so sharp it was a bloodbath until I got the hang of it. 😂

I went all in with the notions though and had a really nice shaving set up.

If your a gym goer a few minutes in steam room or sauna youl can shave with butter knife failing that use face cloth in as hot a water as you can handle hold it on your face for a bit then shave

Its the skin and hair that needs to be softened

Neither of us have used a cartridge type razor in years. We both switched to double edged razors. They're much gentler on the skin, it's a much closer shave and the blades are so much cheaper. Even if you buy really good ones.

A shave in the sauna is the best shave you’ll have. Skin is warm and soft, the blade lasts longer

If you shower and shave soon as you get out of shower the blades last a lot longer

I use the Gillette Fusion blade and I would get maybe 6 or 7 out of each blade. I do have a beard though so it's not a full face shave everytime
