How many shaves should an individual razor blade last?

I am finding 25 or so reasonable, before any pulling is felt. of course, this is a variable thing.

Depends on your hair really. Typically a blade lasts me about a week. I make it a ritual to change my blade every week regardless.

I have a cheap hair dryer that I use to dry the blades well after each shave. That Cuts reduces oxidation and my blades usually last three or four weeks.

Yes, it can give a better shave than a multiple blade razor, but you do need to learn how to shave with it. Cartridge razors are easier to use at first, but if you give yourself a month with a DE razor with a brush and some proper shave cream and I think you will never go back.

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.

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.

Like the others said. And I even spoil myself a bit: I replace them every 2-3 shaves. I buy the persona blades (made in the US). 100 blades for $12. This style of shaving is sooo cheap you don't need to worry about "making the most of your blades."

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

I'll put it this way: there is a reason there is 100 of them for $5 dollars. From my experience they aren't fit to reuse after the first use because of dullness. So I'd suggest just tossing each blade after 1 use. Ultimately in the long run, it's way cheaper than the cartridges for a regular 5-blade Gillette razor. WAAAY cheaper!

I can get an average of 4 really nice shaves out of a Feather blade.. That's pretty good cause there is not a blade that last me long. Feathers give a nice smooth shave

After a few times recharging my battery now gives me around 68 minutes of estimated use. If you shave for three minutes a day, this will give you around three weeks of shaving on each charge. The longer you shave, the fewer shaves you will get on a single charge. If you can shave in one minute, you would get two plus months of shaving.

You can expect 3 shaves. That's actually really good since I shave my head and face with the same blade. Hope this helps.

I have been tossing them after 3 shaves..though the knicks and cuts begin on the second shave. I think ive gone through maybe 6 blades out of the lot, been using the Gillette Silver Blue for the most part now..I get about 5 good shaves before changing those out.

Keep them submerged in baby oil between shaves. They will last twice as long.

I shave once a week and my facial hair is course. I get two or three shaves from one blade. My friend who recommended feather blades gets about two or three weeks of shaves daily or every other day.

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'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.
