Re: How often do you change your razor blade?
[ QUOTE ]
Once a month..but I am really lazy and dont shave everyday or have to need to shave everyday. [/ QUOTE ] yeah I'm in this boat, but I let it grow all week and shave for the weekends unless I've got an interview or something. Sometimes it hurts if I don't shower before and let the hot water soften the hair.

Re: How often do you change your razor blade?
[ QUOTE ]
I change mine about every 3 months. My beard is fairly heavy but the blades seem to last me pretty good. I like the mach 3 turbo. [/ QUOTE ] That's a good long time. It used to be 1-2 months maybe for me, I'm amazed at the 2-3 shave people, that must cost you a bunch. I'd leave it until it was pretty obvious the razor was seriously blunt. I shave pretty much daily, and have average to think stubble. The shaving in the shower thing takes the edge off the burn enough that a semi-blunt razor doesn't matter that much. Every now and again you get a blade that doesn't last so well and gets changed quicker. However, I've lucked into the Gillete customer test program, where they send me a new blade every 2 weeks. I have to fill in a bunch of checkboxes for each days shave rating stuff like comfort/closeness/freedom from nicks etc. It's great, and saves me cash. I would never change a razor bi-weekly unless I was on this program. Every now and again they send a pretty god-awful razor though, probably attempting to get it made with cheaper materials or something. Sadly I have no idea how to get on the program other than knowing someone who is already on it. Apparently occasionally they send you a form to fill in of friends/family to join up to the program as people drop out. I've been on it for over a year and never got this though.

Re: How often do you change your razor blade?
I have the M3 Power (the one that vibrates). The package says to change the blade when the orange strip turns white which is in about 3 shaves. That's nuts. I change it when I can feel it's not shaving smoothly anymore. That's usually 12-15 shaves.
On the original Mach 3 I ran out of cartridges and kept forgetting to buy more. I went over a month shaving every day with the same blade with no problem.

I shave virtually every day and change my blades (use the Mach 3 Turbo as well) about once a month. They are way too expensive. [/ QUOTE ] Same. It usually starts to hurt a bit by the end of the month though.

I haven't changed since July. Maybe I should do something. [/ QUOTE ] Same. Before that, I hadn't changed for 6+ months. I shaved daily, but I was playing $0.50/$1.00, so..
