    Depending on how often I shave, I use 2-6 blades per month. If I stay in a hotel, I bring a fresh pack of blades, and would probably toss the blade rather than trying to wrap it back up before leaving if there was a convenient way of doing so. It’s not hygienic to keep using the same blade more than a few times anyway.

      Hygiene has you replacing blades? I replaced mine when they’re blunt. I can’t see any contamination on my blades after a week of use

        I can’t see anything wrong either. I wash them after. It’s just what I’ve read. Don’t remember if from some shaving guide or the blade manufacturer. You can’t see bacteria.

        Besides not knowing exactly how contaminated the blade got, it’s better to replace it a bit in advance before it gets blunt. But if you use the same brand you would know when that moment approaches, sure enough
