Disposable Razors - How Long Do They Last?

Guys, for those of you who use disposable razors, how long do they last you? I was using cheap schick razors (two blades) the ones in which you can buy 12 or $8 or so. I would use them for about 1 week and then toss them. Then the pandemic hit, and I could not find them online. More recently and due to availability, I have been using Schick razors that have 3 blades and are flexible. I did not like them at first but I like them now due to the flexibility and how easy they are to clean out. I have been using these for two weeks and then tossing them. I know everyone's experience is going to be different. I have a very light beard, so they can probably last me longer than the typical guy.

Also, I am curious about what you use for shaving? I know some people here must buy non disposable razors.

OP have you tried a double edged razor + blades? The upfront cost for a double edge is expensive and there is a learning curve but after the initial investment you save money and get a better shave.

 

+1 on this, makes shaving enjoyable and great, less irritable for the skin and a very close shave at that too, plus it just feels a bit more badass. A straight razor would be even better if it were not for the constant fear that I’d slit my throat
