    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.

          Yeah you need to wash your razor after shaving to remove the hair and soap, but I’m reading the above as something more than that, like removing the blade from the razor to clean it

          Perhaps I’m spoilt by a modern razor, back when I used a 1960s Gillette I did have to open the blade holder to rinse it
