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'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 have to stay clean shaven for work (company policy) so I have to shave daily. But when I go on vacation I can grow out a pretty much full beard in a week.

Dollar shave club razors suck

But if you really like them it is cheaper to buy direct from their supplier.

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.

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

I've seen that rollerball razor. How does it work? I figured it was maybe just a gimmick to charge more.

Gives a pretty decent shave. Cartridge lasts barely a week, though. Week and a half, tops.

I use the Gillette Fusion. I have a thick beard and shave at daily Monday through Friday. If I have something in the evening I may need to shave again. I don't shave on weekends.

I have been using the same razor for two years. You can increase the life of the blade exponentially if you just dry it off after each use. I usually pat dry it with my towel then blow dry it with my wife's hair drier.

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
