Will you outlive your blades?

[OrangeSport]

At my current rate of shaving, which +/- 6 shaves per week, I use a blade a week.

I seem to have just over 1300 blades, so enough for 25 years of shaving at my current rate. I'm 53 so hopefully I'll need to buy a few more, but I reckon that more than a few on here could never get through all their blades....

I'm 41 and don't know how many blades I have exactly. Estimate is 7,000 - 8,000. I get around 3 shaves per blade so they should see me out unless I trade any.

Should see you through!!!

Without a shadow of a doubt they'll outlive me

I also have around 1300-1400 blades from different brands and manufacturers. Some blades usually go for a couple of shaves, like SuperMax, Treet black beauties, and Lord Super Chrome. Other ones can last for 15-25 shaves... GSB, German Wilkinsons, BIC CP. So who knows how many years exactly they are going to last? I hope for at least 20 years (I shave every day usually) Thus, no, I need more blades

In your case, you may say "I have something between two or four suitcases of blades"

Likewise!

That, and the other thing is I will almost certainly buy more between now and then.

Approx 500 blades, 380 of which are Astra SP and the rest are a mix of stuff i have played with like Feathers, Derbys, Super Shave X and Wilkinson Sword.

I shave every 24 to 36 hours and tend to let it grow over the weekend if i can. An Astra SP gives me 3 good shaves before i can feel the edge going off. So a blade lasts about a week generally, which means i have nearly 10 years worth.

At my current age of 60 years young, i hope to retain my faculties long enough to get thru these blades and many more.

...........Before i deteriorate to the stage where the people around me take away my razor in the night and replace it with an electric one .... "its for the best ....... "

 

[Rip my flesh]

I have accumulated about 50 blades (some of which I'm not keen on and am keeping as emergency spares)...
...but at 74 years of age I am only purchasing 10 blades at a time - can't be too careful!!!

That's about right! Until my recent move I filled up the space under my double bed with shaving stuff. There was barely anything else under there, just a handful of dvds

I have 200 BICS and about 70 odd Astra SP. I was completely sold on Astras till I found BIC CP . I am 37, I definitely need another couple of thousand BICs

There’s a lot more to life than Bic ‘s but hey if you like them you like them,
just shows we’re all different.

We're the same age.

I have a few thousand.

It seems I need some more blades.

I could happily buy a thousand now. There are a few that jump to mind instantly that I'd buy in a heartbeat.
I never seem to get to the point where enough is enough. Sometimes I find a big pack or box of blades I'd forgotten I had; some I wish I'd stocked up on more of when it was easier to get them

 

[Sabre]

I have thousands of carts, yet although shaving three times a week. I will have thousands when I die. I have several hundred DE blades which I imagine won't be dented much before my death either.

My blades will definitely outlive me.
