I only got 5 because I figure if I get 10 shaves per blade, it's going to be a while before I need more. I can also test whether I like the PTFE coated ones or want to try something else.
In any case, I always keep track so I'll make sure I count the shaves for each blade. I have pretty soft facial hair and also a round beard so only shaving my cheeks and neck. That means I should get many more shaves per blade I assume.
Hello from another Eric!
I got a Featherweight the other day and had my first shave this morning. Very nice! I have a Contour as well, and both I think are known as being mild, which I translate as easy on my face! Compared to an MMOC, I think mild is fine, but it gave me a great DFS today.
