Thanks everyone for your replies - had three days of use out of my blade, but it's my birthday tomorrow so I'll be setting the counter to zero and see how much I get from a Laser Platinum.

Vinny reckons on 20+ uses for the Fusion Proglide, I'm not sure that's all that typical though.
Vinny: Do you get much razor burn when you get 20 uses from the cartridge?
Anyone else remember what they get from the cartridge blades?

Anyway ... you need a either a DE with a very sharp blade or a cut throat in excellent fettle, and a pretty slick technique; furthermore you're going to have to work against the growth (ATG) or do multiple passes across it. This is a recipe for irritation, rashes and general unpleasantness if you do it on a daily basis. Far, far better to go for a nice, comfortable shave day to day, and maybe pull the stops out for weddings, funerals and court appearances.
