I use these awesome throw aways with 2 blades. Nothing seems to work as good on my face. I normally throw them out when they still work good, but id say about 3 uses. for just my face. Guys dont normally shave thier arms and legs, well not any guys I know. ---

I can’t remember the last time I changed the blade on my Mach 3. A year ago maybe? I keep the blade against my face the entire time, the return strokes keep the blades sharp. Of course it’s not as sharp as the day I bought it but it’s not dull enough to pull my hair and I still get a perfectly smooth shave. Back when I shaved my chest I was commented on how smooth it was all the time. ---

Put blades in alcohol right after you rinse them and put a cap on the container… the blades will keep a TON longer than if you just let the water sit on them after you shave… courtesy of Mens Health ---

I shave every other day and I change the mach 3 once a month, so roughly 15 shaves. ---

I use 2 blade razors, and only get about 3-4 uses before they start hurting my face. ---

been shaving with the same razor since i was 16…you should see it! no im kidding, that would be gross ive tried the mach 3 or 4 or 3532523523 w/e it is they call it now and they work great but i usually only used em 3-4 times and didnt feel like $8 for razor heads was worth it…so disposable FTW! \<—however, if i dont NEED to shave my face i use an electric trimmer (one of the conair ones) and it gets pretty close n leaves a 5 o’clock shadow type look which is alright because then i dont look like im 10 then lol ---

At one point I had the same blade for about 6 months. I actually don’t like a super close shave though. ---

I use a fusion for probably a month or so. I should shave everyday but only end up shaving every 3-4 days. So about 10 shaves of just my face. If anyone is using a razor on their balls they are crazy. Gotta use clippers for those. ---

I usually shave once a week with a mach 3 and keep the blades for 2-3 months. I think shaving after a shower is key, everything is much softer/smoother. ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > WTF? I shave every day with the fusion and change the razor about every 35-45 days if i had to guess. No problems here. Same here, i’m french so somehow that means I have to shave everyday. I also use it to shave my back/chest once a week and it still lasts me a month.
