Shave 8 and feels like it hasn't aged a bit.  Still sharp.  Still close.  Still smooth.  I read where other vintage blades go for a long time but hadn't found a modern one that will go more than 5 and still be efficient.  Perhaps made in the USA is here again.

No dice.  I got the kindergarten blade in the etched pack.  The shave gods did not favor ol LOOT, today.

Number nine on the etched lab blue and I'll be hanged if it's still not sharp.

Number 10 Sunday morning and it still feels great. Never experienced this sort of longevity before.

Round 11 with the Personna Lab Blue etched blade and today I called it done.  A bit of tugging this morning and over the last two shaves it just seemed to not be performing as good as new.  Not uncomfortable mind you, but not as clean a shave as the new blade offered.  As it stands this blade kept me clean-shaven for under a penny per session.  I could probably get several more shaves from the blade , but why? Into the blade bank it goes.  BTW, there are no wax dots on the blade for guys that appreciate that feature.  11good shaves from a modern blade.  Impressive.

Good!  You’ve been killin’ me @"lipripper660”, and I’m happy for you. However, I’m still waiting for the shipping notice for my replacements (but I am not holding my breath).

Dude from EBay contacted me this morning stating etched blade replacements would be shipped tomorrow.

Yes!  I am pleased to say that he (huizamx) contacted me too.  I am looking forward to receiving the same etched blades that work so well for Lipripper660.

True to his word, a replacement box of the etched variety blades arrived from huizamx today.  Happy    I may be under the radar for a few days, but I will report back.
