Catch `em at the right time, and Astra SP's can be had from Amazon for ~$10/100-pack. I think it's a great blade at twice that, so $0.10/blade is...
I really make no rules about this. It all depends on how my face feels on any given day. I would guess that I average around 3 passes per shave...
Judging from this thread, he got an Old Type. Khaki set. - Mark
+1 that. Really everyone should be required to watch his vids. - Mark
I never did go the popper route, but that's a great place to start nonetheless. Good luck!! Sweet Maria's is your friend. - Mark
