That is truly amazing if you're getting 19 shaves from a single blade. I must be using the wrong brands!

Oristo Stealth
Feather Platinum
Acqua di Parma
Paladin Sherlock in Faux Tortoise

This is my second Light Brigade blade. I got 30 shaves from the first one. They are truly amazing...........but rare.

I am, consistently, getting 10+ shaves with my blades, Wizamet Iridium Super.
Those older Wilkinson Swords and Personna 74 blades were fantastic, but very pricey to source, nowadays.
Some blades can last much longer than you would imagine if you experiment.
