Recently I've been changing approximately every 5 shaves (3 passes). Been using Feather blades which seem to last better than my Wilkinson Sword or Astra blades have previously.
Take comfort in using the Derby for an extended period of time; you really had no choice. Even had you found a shop with shaving supplies after three days at Disneyland you wouldn't have been able to afford a single blade anymore. Lol!So i found myself in Disneyland Paris for 3 days recently, upon arrival i realised I had brought everything except spare blades. In my razor i had a Derby blade used once ( not my usual, that's Astra). Given that i was tied up from dawn until dusk i had little choice but to use this blade for the duration. Usually i always toss a blade after 2 days as i have moderately heavy growth assuming that its done however to my surprise I managed 4 days close shave (4 passes) without irritation or noticeable degradation of shave quality. So this got me thinking, how long does a blade usually last? Does the mildness/aggressiveness or brand affect this? I appreciate this might be subjective but I'm thinking if anyone has tested this its likely here.

I only ever use a blade once. Always like the feeling of a sharp blade and they are certainly cheap enough to allow me to do this!How about using a blade just once
