How many shaves do you typically get out of a blade?

I typacally get 3 to 4 (3 passes per) shaves out of a blade. No better or worse than any other blade I use.

Chris unfortunately I have yet to try this product but I assume that it is very good based on the reviews. I will have to get back to you. I am going to order some as soon as I get my next paycheck. Currently using Dorco blades that came with the Rick Harrison One Razor and I don't like them.

2 wks = 14 days on Merkur brand. Same on some of the Derbys but others only last 5 at most. So inconsistent quality.

I have pretty tough hair to shave and I change the blade once a week which is really good. I still am getting alot closer shave on days 5-6 than I typically got on day 1 from the cheapie disposable razors I was using before.

I just pick a day of the week to put a new blade in my EJ Barley. 100 blades = 100 weeks. Don't think it will break the bank.

I have gotten as many as eight good shaves out of one blade. Beyond that number, the shaves start leaving more spots that the alum tends to indicate after the shave. I don't have course whiskers, and sort of tender skin. I do use pre-shave oil and usually lather up with Neutrogena bar soap, and follow up with the alum treatment. Very nice blades and they work nice for me. I only shave my face, not the whole head.

Honestly you don't have to just make sure the blades clean, but I just the blade about every 3 shaves so it's getting fully cleaned Hope that helps

2 packages; 5 blades per pack--10 total. You can get a few MONTHS shaving--or your hubby would get that--out of the order; probably even more!

The battery charge lasts about two hours worth of shaves and one shave takes about 5-6 minutes - so one charge lasts for about 20 shaves. Hope this helps

It varies by person. But I use this once a week and more often in summer when my legs are exposed. Waxing or chemical hair remover would be much better. This razor does not give a very clean shave.

I shave my face and my head about every 3rd day or so, and I change the blade after every 3rd shave. They'd probably last a lot longer than I use them, but I don't wait for it to dull.

I can get an average of 4 really nice shaves out of a Feather blade.. That's pretty good cause there is not a blade that last me long. Feathers give a nice smooth shave

3 shaves on average however be aware this razor lasts about a year before the chrome platting falls off. The company does not cover that on the warranty.

Don't know that it is "acceptable" or not, but I seem to get 3-4 shaves before recharging. I now have 2, so 1 is always on a charger. My 1st one was dropped in water, so it didn't seem to hold a charge for very long. So, I used to use it while plugged in to the charger/outlet. I had to buy my 2nd one because my charger went out and stopped charging (replacement chargers are about $40.00, cheaper to buy a whole new razor)! Guess you could call/email manufacturer and ask them what the "charge/battery" life is, or should be?

That's a good question. I just clean it out post-shave, dry everything, then put it back in my razor. I'm not sure if it's "the best way", but it has gotten me by. I'm using Merkur Model 180 Long Handled Safety Razor. I should also note that I'm Asian.. so... not much shaving is needed. Good luck!

Everybody has varying results. I'm average and shave everyday. I would get one shave after that a lot of tugging and pulling making it very uncomfortable. I ended up tossing mine and now use Feather. Get 3-4 comfortable shaves with Feather. But like I stated everyone will vary.

Normal shaving I would say about two weeks before you might start to feel them pull. Best blade by far as you will find out. Good luck

There are two blades attached to the shaver itself, spaced far apart and are the blades that are present on the two outermost foils. The other two blades exist, but are built into the foils- one is the slit-foil blade which is designed for longer hairs, and the other is a normal foil blade. This works by hooking into the base of the two blades, where there are little plastic connectors, making them move at 14,000 rpm's. So, just to be clear, there are four blades.

I gotten up to 10, but then I switched to another brand of blades to try them. I think at about 10 for my beard was the limit. I've only returned to DE shaving since mid-December, and I've tried 4 different brands. The Feather and Wilkinson Sword seem best for my needs. I have friend who has been using DEs for decades, and he says he gets them to last a long time, but he did not define the length of time.

I don't see a way to sharpen the blades as the comb is built in. I get about 6 or 7 shaves per blade.

I personally shave about every other day or every 3rd day depending on if I'm going out with family or what but my blades last 6 shaves. But the blade also has a lot to do with its Longevity. Cheap won't last spend a little more and better blade. I also do 2 or 3 passes with each shave. Experiment with different blade and which best suit your beard type. Good luck
