how often do you change razors/razor blades?

[Deleted]

Every shave.

Honestly, not often enough.  I often have to really think "um I should change the razor, right".  But then I forget.

I shave every other day, and change blades a couple times a year. Weird, I know.

When I am feeling fancy.

I shave my armpits daily and my legs less than daily. Whenever I feel like it in the winter* and every other day or so in the summer.

* Our average winter temp is like 60 degrees. So I feel like it pretty frequently to wear shorts or skirts.

This Dollar Shave Club seems awesome! For those of you that do it, do you use the $1/$6/$9 monthly blades?

This.

I use venus spa breeze, so ideally I'll use the same blade until the built-in soap things run out... but I'm cheap so I usually try to stretch it out a couple more uses even when there's no soap left.

walterismydog, listen to me. Get the Schick Hydro 5, the kind for dudes. I shave everything, every day, and I don't get razor burn, bumps or ingrowns. It's a revelation. I change the blade weekly.

Is it better than the gillette fusion proglide? That's what I currently use and I have 8 blades left. I will get this one, though! You have intrigued me. Do you use special shave cream/gel?

I do the $6 because I am a "middle person".

I think it's better. It's better for me. No special shave cream, I just use body wash, because the razor is that damn good.

About once a month.  I shave every other day in the summer, a bit less in the winter.
