What's Your Preferred Razor And How Long Does It Last?

I was shaving this morning and it struck me that I could not recall exactly how long I've been using this current cartridge on my razor. I know it's at least 3 months old but it's still going strong. FWIW, here is what I use...

I use the same one but I only shave twice a week and it lasts a couple months

I've only been here since May, but I swear I saw a thirty, forty page grooming thread.

Congrats on your peach fuzz.
No way a razor like the one you posted would last 3 months if you could actually grow a beard.
Back when I had to shave daily, I could get 2-3 weeks tops with a mach 3 before it was uncomfortable.

I use a straight blade like a boss.

I shave only 1 1/2 times per week and Ill get a few months out of one.
I usually get a clean shave on Sunday PM or Monday AM and then just shave my neck and leave a "beard" on about Wednesday or Thursday.

I use the same but it lasts only for a few weeks.
I shave on average 5-6 times a week but I have very corse facial hair.

Dollar Shave Club. The mid grade. Wife uses them to shave her legs too, so its a win/win.

If I'm going the disposable razor route, a Mach 3 is what I use, I won't go more than 5 shaves with any disposable

Merkur 180 long-handled DE. I am currently using 7 a.m. blades that typically last a week before changing. Hell, got a 100 pack for $10...that is almost two years of shaving (for $10) for you math-inhibited folks. Add to that Prosaro shaving soap and Escali shaving brush...all equals an unmatched shave.

Fusion and I first heard of it here on TD.
Lasts a couple weeks.

A Mach III cartridge will last about 1 - 1.5 wks before it starts getting dull and giving my razor burn. If a cartridge last you 3 months, then you have a baby face.

I also use the Gillette Fusion Pro-Glide. FWIW, get your refills off Ebay. I think I just got 12 refills for $25. Much cheaper than anywhere else

I use a Merkur Slant DE or an old DE I bought from an antique store that claims to be from the 20s. For blades I use Personna blades because they're sharp but not so sharp that they'll slice you like a Feather blade would.
Made the move to DE shaving about 3 years ago after I got tired of spending so much for replacement blades for my cheese-grinder-five-bladed Gillette. Friend of mine went to jail for a bit and that's how he picked up DE shaving, so I just copied him and haven't looked back.
I don't buy into the whole best shave of your life stuff, I think I get just as good a shave with either method, but the amount of money you save is ridiculous.

Merkur 38 DE
Gillette 7 O'Clock blades
I could probably get 2 weeks out of the blades (4 to 6 shaves), but I change every week because they're about 2 1/2 cents each. My blade is fairly coarse.

I use the fusion. Each cartridge lasts about five to seven days for me.
