How long do you use your gilette fusion blades for?

[alkemyst]

shaving in the shower after I wash my hair so my whiskers are pretty softened...I change mine when I can't get my neck so good...maybe a month shaving 3-4x a week.

I get 10-14 shaves out of one, sometimes more.

Huh. I just changed my blade after at least a couple months of use.

I chave every day (occasionally twice a day) I use an old Gillette Sensor 3 that I bought while on a trip in Canada (forgot my razor) I buy the cheap Gillette Sensor blades (with 2 blades on each head)

I've found that I actually got a better shave with the several month old blade than the new one I've put on. It seems just fine in the morning, but by mid-afternoon I look like a sasquatch.

i use them until my shave gets too rough. still going on the original blade after quite a few shaves. the schick quattro can suck it, that razor blows so hard.

that stuff makes a HUUUUUUUUGGE difference

What type of shaving cream do you use

This is the one I am using right now
Kiehl's Brand

But any of those tub-filled, expensives cremes should do the trick.
It really makes your hair come off like hot butter off a knife.

I love Kiel's stuff. I use their shampoo, conditioner, and lip balm. I have lotion and shaving cream but I never used them because they were a gift. Maybe I should begin to use the two.

5-6 shaves per cartridge.

Wow so THATS how gilette gets its cash, i use my blade for months on end, it gets a little blunt so i just go over the area a few times, voila. I shave once a day.

 

[Chryso]

I use them until they are painful.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

2 shaves any more and it tears my face up

 

[ew915]

it all depends, if my wife stops using my damn razor i can get a good month, otherwise i gotta change it after she uses it.

 

[DontTaseMebro]

One week tops.

Man.... I'm glad that I use an electric now!

I have very sensitive skin, so I switch out after three or four shaves. I've also found that leaving the shaving cream on your face for a couple of minutes before shaving really helps.

Try shaving after a warm/hot shower as well. I found this to help me quite a bit.
