To much is mentioned of only using a blade ONCE before tossing.
I have sort of felt shameful when i see the blade life challenges, and reports of how some have gotten 30 days of use from a specific vintage blade, etc. Some of my blades I only get 7 very nice 3 or 4 day shaves from. Others on a daily usage pattern will last me 12. Some i can only shave on sunday and get 5 good shaves out of it.
SO im trying to figure out the reasoning of "being happy" with a blade that only lasts for 1 shave.. or the reasoning behind "every blade is tossed after teh first shave no matter what".
