Wait whut? How many blades have you used in 5 years?
I get 3-4 double pass shaves out of my Feather razors before they threaten to tear my face apart.

Yeah, but your hair is quite thick...

Just one. It only rips open my face every time.
Kidding... Shave Lounge blades get cheaper in quantity: http://www.shavelounge.co.uk/10-feather-double-edge-safety-razor-blades
So I bought 20 packs, to give 200 blades, and am using them less frequently than I used to as I like the perfect close shave and generally let a 2mm stubble grow... so it's 1 shave every 3-4 days, and 3-4 double pass shaves per blade.
I've got about a third to a half left... not sure, what's in the cupboard is from memory. I guess that's what.... just over 100 blades in 5 years? At what was £2.75 per 10.

It's a lovely razor, smallish but incredibly well balanced.
I figured I could move from Gillette blades to a safety razor of good quality and that it would pay for itself in 2 years. That was 5 years ago and I'm still using the original blades I purchased with the razor and my amortized cost per shave is approaching pennies.
If I already had safety razors, then yeah... it's pricey. But as a "buy the good one from the outset" it's been a fantastic purchase.
