I like the shaves that I get from the P74. I paid less than “market price” for these, but even still… according to my spreadsheet which takes into account cost, closeness, and comfort – I’d need to get 60 shaves to make them cost effective. Surely it’s possible that they last me 60 shaves, and maybe we’ll find out, but even then they just break even compared to Personna Med Prep, and I’d need 160 shaves to be a tie with Personna Lab Blue.
That being said, 60 good shaves would still be in the realm of acceptable value.

How many shaves do you typically get on a DE blade before binning it?
Leviathan++;

Between 4 and 10 depending on the brand.

Ok. That’s my experience too.
