What brand blade do you use?
How many shaves do you get for a blade normally?
Do you consider your "whiskers" to be light / medium / or very heavy-tough?
I use modern Wilkinson Sword blades and any NOS vintage blades that I can find, so far, GILETTE 'BLUE', GILETTE 'THIN' and 'CLUB' brand blades (among others).
I was fortunate to find a vintage double-edged razor-sharpener at the flea-market. Using that, I got a blade to last three months before I finally threw it out. I'm still on my second blade and it's been another three months...but I ain't throwin' this one out just yet.
I would consider my whiskers to be light-to-medium. I don't shave very often, probably twice a week.
