One blade February

I debated doing this, since there are a few other challenges going on, but what the heck.... even if nobody else joins, I’m still going to do it.

The idea:

Pick a blade, and use that blade for a whole month. If you are able to push that one single blade for the whole month.... awesome! If not, grab another of the same blade and give it another go. Your goal is blade longevity, and through continued familiarity with that blade hopefully you can achieve more than what you usually get.

These are the challenges that usually result in me getting 2+ months off a single blade, so we’ll see if I can do it again.

You don’t have to shave every day, if that’s not your norm. But every shave this month needs to be the same blade.

Any Questions?

If you want to join, just pick a blade and add your name and blade to the list!

I’m down for this! I’ll claim for “both” of my razors (if that’s allowed?). A shame I’m out of GSBs, I’d have loved to use those for this.

What part of I normally use two razors in a shave don’t you?

I guess, that exactly. I didn’t understand what you meant. I didn’t realize you normally used two razors, as you didn’t specify. I thought you were planning on alternating razors.

Longevity and Don don't go hand in hand...wait...that didn't come out right. What I meant was...Blade longevity doesn't usually work out for me all that well. But I can play along.

What are you new here?

All good my man! Sorry I didn’t specify more. I thought GearNoir and complicated were pretty much synonymous.

Everyone has picked a different blade. This is going to be interesting!
 
I was going to sit this one out, but I'll join in. We can swap razors if we want right? Just use the same blade?
