So for the past few months I've been experimenting with how many decent shaves I can get with a DE blade using different razors.
One shaver from a different blog got up to 30 shaves with a particular blade...I had no idea. Some folks have gotten even more. Now before dismissing this as something of a "Unicorn" in terms of longevity, I decided to try it myself. The test blade was a Gillette 7 O'Clock "Ninja". I went through my razor rotation and the blade just kept delivering. I got to 16 and decided that was far enough. Not that I couldn't get more shaves but that I didn't want to. I have plenty of blades I like and don't need to stretch them out too far. So 10 is the number for me unless of course I get a "dud" blade which does happen from time to time.
So I'm now using a GSB which has 9 very good comfortable shaves on it. One more and it's done. I should be set for blades until as such time I forget how to shave. Hah!
Cheers!
