    I don't know about you, but it takes less than 5 minutes to shave. So, plenty of time to do other things in life.

    Take it to 10-20, then report back whenever you want. Maybe every 10 after that, or until you are finished. No set rules. Just pay attention to prep, and don't wipe the blade.
    Keep personal track on paper of each shave. It can be easy to lose track.

    you can enter at any time with any blade,but that kcg will get you 5 at most..unfortunately..:).why not try a spoiler blade,vintage wilkie,or schick? so far the only long lasting blades that are modern ,ie made this century that seem to last like the old ones did are the sunekos and some recent others..;)

    I’m definitely guilty of hoarding razor blades and soaps I like. I have unabashed BAD and am recovering from a lifelong GAS affliction. However I don’t count the number of shaves I get per blade because they get tossed quickly (see my sig line…). Too much Wine, Bourbon, Scotch and Beer hurt my ulcer. But I make exceptions for an occasional RRV Pinot Noir, Samuel Adams Oktoberfest and Guinness. Tea isn’t my bag but I do enjoy a delicious hot cup of coffee every morning.;)

    I have yet figured out how to purchase the Sunekos blades, my guy in Sweden doesn't carry them. And oh, did I tell you I bought 20 Gillette Platinums from the 70's. They're good too and without pencil and paper proof I probably have 8 or 10 shaves on one of them. I have 6 or 8 razors in a drawer that I shave with when I feel like it. You know how it is. Yo? :)
