Hey Tank, my situation is a little complicated. I used 2 mach 3 razors at once, one for going with the grain, the other going against the grain. So far 6 shaves for 2 razor blades. By the end of May I should have more details.
I am hoping that Ryan, Dome of Steele and anyone else trying it could give us their update. Yesterday was the first time I shaved with mach 3 properly since putting the blades in olive oil. In the previous 5 shaves I didn't wash off the oil from the blades properly so it was a little hard. It was great yesterday

I have at least two weeks (maybe three, haven't been counting exactly) with the same blade, no signs of irritation yet.
And Math guy, I don't even try to rinse the olive oil off, after a few passes on my head and rinses, the oil is gone.

Now that I think about it, I remember seeing (by CVS), just the other day, OLIVE OIL listed as an ingredient in one of the new shave cream products by SKINTIMATE.
May have to give it a trial run.

Well, Tank, I've been reading this thread for far too long, so yesterday I put a new blade on my Fusion and marked the calendar. I hope you're right because this is certainly my blade of choice and they are a tad expensive. So, if I can get a few extra days I'm all for it. But I need some imperical testing of my own!!

I can`t wait to see how many extra days you get out of your fusion.

I stand corrected, guys. One of the newest additions to the
Skintimate female line of shaving products contains "
Olive SOY",
NOT Olive
OIL as I first posted.
Now what exactly "soy" is , is anyone's guess, but it is very soothing to the scalp and leaves a "keen sheen" when
al dente - LOL.
-Cap'n Noodles-Btw,
I tried a little experiment... I got my "Misto" sprayer out of the kitchen cabinet and applied
extra virgin olive oil to my scalp
under a layer of creamy
Skintimate shaving cream.
LOL- Fell asleep after my shave and woke up to a wet tongue licking my scalp....
NO, not what you think guys - it
WASN'T my
wife - it was my
dachsund!!

Well I'm only on the fifth shave while soaking the blade in EVOO and so far my results are: The soaking seems to have alreay dissolved the lube strip on the Fusion Blade. I also have a little bit of dislike of how oily it makes my razor, handle etc. BUT I must tell you that this morning I got what I think is the BEST shave I have ever had!!! It could be worth it just for that reason alone.

Guys,
For those of you who may be looking for the right size bottle to store your olive oil in (one that will fit perfect into your shaving bag, here's an idea:
Use an EMPTY HeadSlick, HeadWash, or HeadShed Bottle.
They are ideally the right size to store the oil, keeping it handy for when you want to apply the oil as a topcoat prior to your favorite shave gel/cream. Built-in squirt top is a built-in application bonus!!
Still thinking of best type container storage for oil/razor.
Just an idea that hit me out of the blue.
