I only get 2 shaves per blade.  If I go more than that, it just doesn't feel as smooth.  I would like to add the following caveat: that includes shaving my head in the same shave session.

To shave or not to shave, is that really a question?

That makes sense. Square footage, so to speak, you're probably getting 2 face shaves a day with... So 4 face shaves a blade?

I'd assume at least 4.  It might be more considering the hair on my face seams a lot softer and less resistant to cutting than my head hair.  Maybe that's just my imagination though.

We are all different, of course, but it can also be the blades you are using. 
Fortunately, for me, I get 10 very comfortable and smooth shaves with my blades, wizamet iridium supers, for my head and face shaves, equally well.  
Having said this, I face shave in the mornings and head shaves in the evenings. Smile

I use my Nacets for 5X. I 3 pass face shave and notice a decent decline in quality with shave # 6.

I use all my DE blades 2-3 times. The 2nd shave seems to be the best. 1st & 3rd are similar. The 4th is avoided as I can easily perceive the difference in the deterioration of the blade edge. Feather blades are the exception being one and done.
