How many times do you shave before throwing out a razor head?

I use an electric, and use a Mach3 razor for touchups. I change them out make once every 6 months.

Whenever it starts getting extra painful. Maybe 3 weeks, maybe 2. Depends how many days I skip.

Original Mach 3 here.

But this one looks cool:

I wish I had wussy facial hair. I shave Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and I can get by for about 4-5 shaves before it becomes painful. My facial hair is like a damn rock. Damn Mach3 and their expensive blades.

Every 5-6 days, depending on how the razor "feels" on my face. When it ceases to glide across the whiskers, it's time for a new one.

You kids that shave every three days make me giggle; I shave at 0530 every morning and by 1500 or so, I need a shave.

 

[Feldenak]

I stop using it when it feels like it's pulling the hair out of my face instead of cutting it.

 

[dartworth]

Use a Mach 3 to shave my head...one use only for each. shave every other day.

 

[daveshel]

When it hurts too much to keep shaving.

 

[lobadobadingdong]

I use an electric usually about once a year the razor blades get replaced.

 

[TwiceOver]

probably about 4 uses. Every other day. Mach3.

Mach 3
Shave 5 times a week --> m-f, no sat/sun(unless i am going out that day)
use it for 2 weeks --> good for 10-12 shaves

 

[pulse8]

I shave like once a week and I normally keep the blades for at least 2 months.

 

[Wahsapa]

i change the mach3 blade about ever 2 weeks, sometimes 3 if i get lazy. i change the headblade about every week.

 

[fsstrike]

I shave once a week, I use the blade once before I chuck it. I use disposables.

 

[nageov3t]

I'll break out a new razor about every other month or so... mach 3 blades are expensive, and I only have 2-3 times/month anyways.

 

[DrPizza]

I've noticed no consistency.... sometimes they last a week, sometimes 2 months - even from the same package. Can someone explain why??
(Mach 3's)

 

[sandorski]

Yup, another when it starts to tug too much Vote here. Only shave 1ish times a week, though I should shave every second day as my hair grows in rather quickly.

 

[alm4rr]

4 months...

the key is to use soap - razor industry wants u to use cream/foam b/c it plugs up the blades and gets hard forcing you to buy more

I use electric first pass, and then clean up with blade

 

[cronos]

probably 2-3 months.

 

[Yossarian]

Sensor Excel here, I get about 5 shaves per blade.

Yep. When it scrapes instead of shaves, time to get a new one. (Mach3 Turbo)

I'm jealous of the little bastards in that respect - they can look presentable even without a shave. This summer, I'd shave at 7:30 before heading to work, and by the time I got home at 5 my face felt like 40-grit.

Well, we know someone who's insecure with his penis size.
