4th Annual February "One Blade" Challenge!

[ICETEE]

They call it foam because that’s what it is. Foam comes from a can and that’s what most people use. When you build it yourself by adding water to a cream or soap, it’s lather.

I will have to put up my soaps, then you can tell me what i make

Moved over to the Claymore Evolution, 9th shave,just need a two-pass now for a bbs,this might make the blade last even longer. The Claymore is just a little bit smoother shave than the Halk V3, but both are fantastic razors. My lather was wonderful,creamy and yogurt in feel.

My Feather blade (18 shaves) is struggling. There's a LOT of tugging and I am not sure it will survive to the end of the month.

Have you tried a different razor? Sometimes I’ll go to a more aggressive razor and find it works well with a “broken in” blade. Alternatively, I find my torsion “twisted head” slant razors stiffen up the blade and give more life to a struggling blade.

Yeah, I know, but my goal was using the "One Blade" challenge as a longevity test in the ASD2.

Into double figures, 10th ,another great shave ,no sign of this blade stopping as of yet

Shave 20 on the Nacet. Wound up flipping the blade, so it’s basically like a brand new blade.
@woodpusher did you bin the blade, transplant it into a new razor, or are you soldiering onwards?

...@woodpusher did you bin the blade, transplant it into a new razor, or are you soldiering onwards?

Not sure. I'll make that decision within the next few hours.

@EMG06 , I flipped the blade for this morning's shave. The result? I have a new Feather ready for tomorrow's whisker chopping adventure.

 

[Quijote]

Transplanted my GSB into an Old Type. Working great 10 shaves in.

 

[EMG06]

Now 21 shaves on the Nacet. It’s ability to harm crocodilians continues unabated.

 

[Fightingillini22]

21 shaves on this Bic SP and still no signs of slowing.

 

[ICETEE]

11 shaves with P-30, still going like new.

1st shave on Feather #2 for February. A huge uplift from yesterday's shave.

Still going strong on the Treet Black Beauty. I am stropping it every day and honing it about every other day with good results. The blade really hasn't degraded much.

EDIT: Between the Williams, the carbon steel blade, and the honing and palm stropping I really am shaving like my grandfathers might have during the Great Depression. It is kinda nice. The only thing that would make it complete is to be using a DE from that era.

Yeah a Gillette Goodwill and a cheap boar brush and I think you’d be transported back in time!

Still using my Rapira and going well. It’s definitely getting close to the end but the month is almost up so it’ll make it. Switching to my Diamondback has worked to extend the life of the blade.

 

[ICETEE]

One dozen shaves and going well,getting such a fantastic close shave,I am going longer between shaves, all good

 

[ICETEE]

13 is not unlucky for this blade,still going strong

 

[Spider]

26 shaves on the Personna. No sign of slowing down.
