      I’ve never tried pushing a blade past a few shaves. How does yours feel at 20?

        It feels great. These Personna 74’s are famous for lasting a long time. They aren’t made anymore.

          Ah, well then I guess you should get as many uses out of them as you can!

      According to the DjSIA, the answer is no, and your previous record was 14, reached on two occasions.

      Though the second occasion is with this blade, and then you switched to posting here.
