How often do you change your razor blades?

I usually get about a month out of one cartridge before I can't stand it anymore.

Also, does anybody use these shaving clubs? I was looking at joining one of them, to save money, but they send you 4-5 cartridges every month. Do they not last as long, or do they just send too many. After a few months, either the cartridges would start to pile up, or I would have to start changing the cartridges more often, which would be more expensive, not less.

shaving clubs

Are those people making any money?
Are they refurbishing cheaply, effectively and quickly, then fopping them back out there?
How does this shite work?

You may save $, but you'll be wasting time. DSC blades are a farce that tears my face up. The only good thing about them is their shave butter. I heard the butt wipes were good too

I shave my face and head every other day and go 4 months or more on 1 blade. Clean and dry the blade. Itll last much longer.

I did the dollar shave club. They seem to be extremely cheap blades, and after a week, noticeably feel dull and have to be changed out. And my facial hair does not come in thick at all. I would say you get 4-5 shaves out of each, and from the start, they don't feel as sharp as the Gillete blades.

That sounds horrible and unhygienic.

I use a DE razor. Change the blade after three shaves normally.

Every 5-7 shaves. I use an old school safety razor and take good care of it.

I'm like you. I change the blades every month or two. I did the dollar shave club for a year and had a ton of blades piled up for what cost me about $60. I haven't bought a blade in over two years since and shouldn't need to for a couple more years.

I change my blade once a month. The DSC blades suck. I bought 12 Gillette Fusion blades from eBay for about $30. The shitty shave from DSC blades isn't worth the peanuts you save.

I do too. But I usually swap blades weekly. I shave every day except Saturday until hunting season. Then, I shave zero times per week until Mid- January. I could make Fin cry around New Years.

Every Monday. Don't usually shave on weekends unless it's a vagina.
