It depends on what blade you are using.  Different people get different results as well.  I use the Gillette Sensor Excel blades on my Headblade, and I get about 10 shaves on a blade.

BTW, go over to the introductions section and post an introduction since you're new here.

Welcome to the forum! 

Just like Jamesh said, we all get different results.  I also use the sensor excel razor on my headblade, but I only get 4 shaves per blade.

welcome to SBG!!
You can increase the number of shaves you get per blade by putting it
in extra virgin olive oil after you are done using it.   
Be sure to check under Product Review section for a discussion on this.

Once again, welcome to SBG.

I do a final rinse of my blade in alcohol and then air dry it and get a good week or two out of one blade

Welcome to the Forum O!

I change the blade in my HeadBlade once a week............. 7-10 shaves.

With the new M5 razor that I use for my face the jury is still out but it is about once a month..........
