Testing how long GEM Blades last?

[bcshaves]

So this is going to be a test of how many shaves I can get from a GEM blade compared to an unmentionable. So I will be testing this by keeping this as fair as I can. I have appointed Williams mug soap to lubricating duty. And following what the box says I will use Aqua Velva Ice Blue for after shave. I will also be using Nivea Shaving Balm. Brushes will be JR #82 and #365. Since this is the only forum I am a part of the unmentionable shaves will not be posted but pictures will be kept for counting at the end. I planed on shaving every day but I rather just use them for as long as I can without that constrain. So that means I will post my shaves when I do them as I do not shave every day. I would like for all of you to keep in mind a few things that does determine how many shaves you get. First how thick your beard is which in my case is not very thick and I do not shave my goatee are as I will be growing it over the year. If you have thicker beard than me expect to get less shaves I think. Another thing is that I will only be doing two pass shaves with one with the grain and then across the grain. I am only looking for shaves that are good enough for government work.  

Anyways I hope some will join me on this test and maybe even a Williams month and Aqua Velva Ice Blue if you got it. I will do the first shave tomorrow or the day after. By the way for people joining me only GEM 1912 shaves count. Lets use February as 1912 appreciation month. And every month before and after since they are good shaving razors.
