Does it feel like it is dragging?
That's a brilliant idea, might have to steal that one off youbean said:I keep count of the number of shaves with a dice next to my razor (nothing to think about). Mainly because I've been interested in keeping track to compare the longevity of different blades.
bean said:I like to use long shaving strokes. When a blade is on it's way out, it will tug/drag soon after the start of the stroke. I can then get another few shaves if I use short strokes (like Mantic in his video). I used to do this with Sensor cartridges because of their cost and I was less concerned (obsessed?!) with getting a perfect shave. DE blades are so cheap that I don't bother with that tactic now. As soon as it starts to drag, I replace it mid-shave.

One problem for me with replacing once a week is that I'd be taking some blades well into drag/nick bluntness territory. I shave every day, sometimes twice a day (if I'm going out in the evening) and some blades only last 3-4 shaves. I could change twice a week but some blades are capable of staying sharp for 10+ three pass shaves (Feathers and Thai Super Thins in my experience) and I don't want to chuck them after 3 or 4 shaves.
