Number of shaves per blade
« on: March 30, 2009, 02:48:11 AM »
Hi guys

I am wondering how many shaves you get from your blades before it leads to nicks/cuts. I currently use a Mach 3 blade every 3 days on my head. I have also used the Sensor Excel and Fusion blades.

Cheers

I change the blade every 2 weeks on my Fusion. I just dry it off after every use and spray it with a little rubbing alcohol and I am good to go.

I change out my Sensor Excel blades every Monday.

Do you get more shaves depending on which shave gel/cream/lotion/foam you use?

When I used the fusion I am pushing the seventh shave, it doesnt give nicks it justs drags pretty good.. With the mach 3 I change it after seven but I could go longer.

About two weeks for the Fusion, but I know by about the eleventh day that I'm pushing it as it starts to drag.  I can just about get away with it for 14 days, but ideally I'd change it every week, if they werent so expensive! >:(

I am really curious, do you see any differences with all of the products you use to shave? It's important to know for product development and formulation so that we can provide the greatest # shaves per blade.
