How often do you change your razor blade? How do you know exactly when to change your blade?
I use the same one for usually around 2 months. But I can always tell the difference when I use a new one.

Then why do you change it after 2 months?
>>10727096
I shave in the shower and try to shoot for every month or every 3 weeks or so, but more realistically it's like 2 months because I'm a lazy fuck.
Rule of thumb, generally speaking, is more often is better. I've heard 2 weeks being a good timeframe before.
My beard is coarse so the blade doesn't last long.
like 5 shaves
>>10727096
two, three weeks at the most.
they're cheap enough.
>>10727096
Every 3 shaves /days or so

I use a double edge razor, so about twice a month. In bulk, blades are like. Twenty five cents each, so I'm probably switching out too early but I'm terribly afraid if I don't change it sooner it will drag and cut my face.
>>10727096
every few weeks
usually sharpen mine halfway since i'm using expensive ones and want to keep the blades sharp

Dry them off with a towel you'll get more shaves
>>10727096
Don't count time, count shaves. It's like mileage
once there's visible rust
>>10727096
That blue thing on top is an indicator, when it starts loosing color it's time to change..
I don't
>>10727768
No it's just a strip of soap, it doesn't know how sharp the blades are.

M'lady
get a safety razor and a 100 pack of double edge blades. you can change the razor every shave and still save money

I just made this change, how do I avoid cutting my face up? I'm getting the closest shaves of my life but i bleed a bit too. Is it normal to bleed?
>>10728147
Don't force the blade. Let the weight of the razor carry it across your face. And remember, it's okay not to get every hair on the first go. You're supposed to do multiple passes.

I haven't gotten a new blade in about four years.
double edge saftey razors are fedora tier
slice your fingers open when switching blades with wet hands, heavy metal handle, and an uncomfortable shave unless you go through a grooming ritual that borders on fedora worship
you can rinse a modern day razor with a soap strip under the sink and shave without all the bullshit that comes along with saftey razors, maintence and bullshit
also if you have a saftey razor idiots also love to worship dumbfuck badger makeup brushes marketed to men as shave kits
don't fall for the gimmick

but sieg. but sieg.
everyone tells me that my mindset is wrong.
i see shaving as a fucking chore, but in fact it is a chance to slow down and take my time and meditate.
they say i should enjoy the ritualistic nature of it, sieg.
hey sieg, they say i should start my day by spending 30 minutes standing in front of a mirror shaving instead of getting an extra 30 minutes of sleep.
sieg, do i have ur permission to just keep using my babby-proof razor and normal ass bar of soap and not thinking about it?
(also, any of you motherfuckers know of an electric that's actually good and gives a close shave? i swear if i were a woman i'd just be the hairiest dyke imaginable. fuck shaving.)
