Harry's shave club

[Dave Lehnert]

Did not want to dig up an old post on here but was reading that some were getting a month out of a blade from Harry's.
I just received my first pack of blades and like them a lot. I am on week two with the same blade.

How long do you get out of one blade?

Anyone use Dollar Save Club?

FYI Target sells Harry's blades and other branded products in store.

I get at least 3-4 weeks out of blades, in fact, I need to cut back and have them send them less frequently because I have so many.

[Mike Berrevoets]

At least 3 weeks for me. I could probably go longer. I usually delay my shipments or I would have them piling up in the drawer.

I shave every three or four days whether I need it or not. Joking aside, I go the double edge safety razor route. Last blade purchase was about $13 dollars for a hundred pack of Personna blades. More than a year will pass before I have to order again, very frugal and trouble free.

Of course this depends on how often one shaves and the toughness of their beard.

I like my Schick triple blade disposable. My last 5 pack was bought a couple of years ago. But then my beard usually grows without a trim in the colder months.

My last blade has lasted almost 47 years. I just found it in the back of a drawer. Of course I haven't shaved since 1970!

So let me make sure I understand,a single Harry's blade is lasting considerablily longer than a week? And in some cases longer than 14 days? I can hardly get 5-6 days out of a single Gillette Mach III blade.

I'm an electric shaver user. Use a Bosch 7 series, replace blades once a year

I get close to 4 weeks from a Gullette Mach blade. I run it backwards (not cutting anything) against a towel then store it dry. I think storing it dry helps prolong the life.

I buy the Gillette three blade ones in the plastic handles - I get a pack of 20 or more, don't remember how many come in a pack. I get several weeks out of each one. Been very satisfied with them.

I use Dollar Shave Club and buy their premium blade (4 for $9). I put a new blade on it April 15th. It's still shaving smooth. I can grow a beard like Grizzly Adams. I usually change mine when the moisture strip wears out.

They say to change blades every week, which is a total gimmick to purchase more blades.

Trick to making blades last? A quick squirt of IPA (not the beer, don't waste it) after you shave to evaporate the water. Oxidation dulls them as much as use.

I'm doing Dollar Shave Club. I often only shave every 1.5-2 days depending on my running schedule and if I'm planning to leave the house. I've always used blades until I notice they are getting pretty bad which is usually way past their prime. I don't notice that these are any better or worse than the Gillette ones I used to use. Related, I've always, since I was a teen, used Edge shave gel. DSC sent a sample of their Shave Butter with my first order and I'm hooked on that now. I haven't looked at the economics but if its costing me more over the course of the year, its not much at all and I certainly "waste" a lot more money on even more frivolous things than that.

I'm a fan of the Dr. Carvers shave butter too. Before that I didn't use anything, just shaved post shower when everything was soft.

Some claim a longer life by drying the blades after each use.

I'm trying that with a hairdryer on a Gillette Fusion blade I started using December 31, 2016. (I looked up my purchase history on Amazon)

I don't have a heavy beard and don't shave every day—but that’s still pretty good. Maybe they’ll hire me to do some commercials!
