How many shaves can I get per each blade on average?

I just bought the Gillette Sensor razors, with triple blades.  How many shaves can I get per each blade on average?  These things are expensive...

I use FUSION and get between 4 & 6 nice shaves.

I've stretched it out to 8 or so, but then start getting a bit of razor burn...nothin' serious...so I've gotten my money's worth.

I use HB Triple Blades.  I can get about 6 to 8 quality shaves if I shave everyday.  It seems like the life span decreases if I go a few days without shaving.

Same here.  I can get up to two weeks if I skip a shave on the weekends.  Lately, I haven't been doing that and have been getting about 10-12 shaves per blade.
