re: Dollar Shave Club changed their blades and they suck arse. What's your current razor?

How many shaves you get with the safety razors? I shave my head 2-3 times a week along with my beard/neck line.

If you wash and dry the DE blades off after your shave (to prevent microscopic rusting/corrosion from occurring) there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get the same amount of shaves with a DE razor as you would with a cartridge. Even if not, the DE blades are significantly cheaper than the cartridges. I picked up a pack of 50 Feather DE blades last year for $17.00. Feathers are generally considered to be one of the top blades in the industry and you can find blades that are just as good for a few bucks less. I can get about 10 shaves per blade with zero discernable change in sharpness. That means I'm changing blades about every 2 weeks (I rarely shave on weekends). If you do that math that means 50 blades will last me ~2 YEARS. A pack of 12 cartridge blades will cost you what, $23-$25. Those 12 will, at best, get you 6 months of shaves (probably less). That means 2 years of shaves = $100 vs. 2 years of DE blades at $15
