Double Edge Razors

[sarasota]

Anyone use one of these? What is it like?

How long does a blade last (ie. how many shaves)?

Thanks!

twice as long as a singe edge

Seriously it depends on the user

I use a Merkur HD with Derby blades.

I can get 4-5 shaves from a blade. Derby's come 100 blades for $20, so it is a good deal. Honestly, I can get a closer, quicker shave from my Gillette Fusion (powered), but I find myself using the Merkur most of the time. If you gotta do something everyday you might as well make a small hobby out of it.

If you can spend $50, I'd suggest going with a Merkur:

Merkur 23C or classic

and a blade sampler

After you get hooked we can talk about badger shaving cream brushes!
