I change both of them on a weekly basis.
Tis better to have a bald head than no head at all.

I use to use my Mach 3 on both my head and face, but I now use the HeadBlade on the noggin.  I would use a new blade on the Noggin until it was no good for the head. I would then use that blade for the face, and yes it would still shave the face very nicely for about a week.  I will admit that I would use the same new blade on both the face and head every so often..........had to indulge myself RIGHT?
I was told to think outside the box, how did I get in the box in the first place?

Since I started spraying my Fusion blades with alcohol after each use, I can go 2 weeks before changing blades.  I use the same blade for the face and dome.

Before using the alcohol, I got a week out of each blade.

I change mine when they start to pull instead of cut.  That's normally about once a week.

Same here. 2 weeks. Drying off the blade and spraying with alcohol really extends the blade and sharpness.
