Tall_Paul said:I never used to, but I now dip the head of my razor into Barbicide for 5 mins at the end of each shave then push the razor head against a towel to dry it off (on each side) and this seems to prolong blade life.

I'm still adding but at a much slower rate. Trading, selling and trying out vintageeneville said:NotTheStig said:If I only used one blade per shave I'd only have enough blades in my stockpile to last nine years. usually do 3 per blade.
Interesting, are you still adding to that stock pile? Do you know something I don't - has manufacturing of DE blades stopped!

Well, I'm getting two days from each blade, I flip it at the end of the shave, so it lasts the two days. I'm on day two now, so I'll flip intermittently tomorrow and see how it goes.
eneville said:Just another angle on the same question, how many uses would you get from a Gillette Fusion/Mach 3 blade (just for cost comparison reasons)?
Canuck said:I used to get 5 uses from a Sensor before it dragged. I never moved "up" to the Mach 3 or the Fusion so I wouldn't know but I think 5-7 uses is about average.
Vinny reckons on 20+ uses for the Fusion Proglide, I'm not sure that's all that typical though.
