As is the leaf......it will last me my lifetime!Wanted to become an early bird. But then noticed it's actually 'zinc alloy'
Agent Shave will be stocking them at the end of the month, not sure on the price though.The first razor raising my consumer antennas in years!
I prefer the mild to medium razors (my daily is a Schick Krona with the occasional Rockwell 6c).
Hopefully will be in the UK at some point without doubling the price.
I throw the half blade after 3 days......and to be honest.....in most cases I could definitely get at least another day.....and I nearly always do 3 pass shaves. I just feel greedy after 3 shaves......and 6 shaves is a good return for 1 DEAgain, my old logistics problem arises. I always throw a DE blade after 3 consecutive days of use. Past experience shows that a halved DE blade edge gets about twice as much wear as a whole one. Given that a half blade over 3 days isn't in the mix, should I a) use a half blade over each day i.e. 2 days per blade b) use half for 2 days, and the other half for 2 days i.e. 4 days or c) get complicated, and use one half for 2 days and the other for 1 day i.e. 3 days for my "normal" turnover? Decisions, decisions.
I could try for 3 days on the half-blade again, but with the other razors I mentioned, the blade has always seemed past its best after 2 days. Of course, a lot depends on the blade. There are some which will definitely last for 3 days, if not longer, as their main purpose seems to be scraping soap off the face, and not shaving whiskers.I throw the half blade after 3 days......and to be honest.....in most cases I could definitely get at least another day.....and I nearly always do 3 pass shaves.

I await your comments with interest.Very useful thread. I'm awaiting delivery of a Twig following my positive experience of the Leaf last year. I'll combine it with my recently received OSP 'Old Gold' soap and aftershave for a SOTD mini review. Looking forward to comparing experiences!
