7 o'clock yellows how many shaves ?

How many shaves do you get from the 7 o'clock yellows ?

Did my 3rd shave yesterday and was fine. I do feel it has lost some of its sharpness though, so I m wondering if I should try a 4th with it r just change it.

I shave every 2 days and I change ASTRA SP every 3 shaves. This is my first time trying the yellows so have no previous experience on how long they last.

2 shaves normally, but I always try for a third. Sometimes I get one, sometimes I don't.

I get three shaves I always change the blade after three It's not worth pressing on with a fourth with the price of them 14p each.

Same here (3). I used to try to see how many I could get out of a blade I hadn't tried before but now stick to three or two for the Chinese ones

 

[Canuck]

I could probably get three but I change after two anyway, life is short and blades is cheap.

 

[Walkers]

2 or maybe 3 if it's a quick pass max, like others I would rather have a comfortable shave than try for a 4th for the sake of a few pence.

3 for me, never tried a 4th as cost is not an issue.

I can just about stretch to 3, but I normally change the blade after 2 anyway.

 

[majortom]

Two max

I tend to do 3 shaves then dump with all blades - it really isn't worth the discomfort of a dull blade.

Maximum of two shaves with any blade, regardless of what make it is......I used to try for three but gave up as the edge had gone.....

For me its about the perfect shave and comfort.....not economy....

This. 10p a blade, I dump them after one or two shaves. Yellows normally do two shaves.

 

[Gravy]

2 shaves then the bin, like any other blade for me.

I just used one for a 3rd shave (3 passes first 2 shaves and 2 passes today) and definitely felt like it had lost some of its sharpness. In comparison I can use an Astra SP for 4 shaves before feeling like I'm pushing it.

Usually get 3 shaves but sometimes have to change during the 3rd shave. They are about 10p each but find Feather blades last much longer so cost kind of balances out.

I get a comfortable 4 from one of these.
