The nasty industry secret is that the blades don’t really go blunt/dull, as much as they get gummed up with residue from you and shaving agents.
You can run a month on a blade if you clean them after use. (isopropyl alcohol or similar solvent) even a thorough reverse-whipedown under scolding water helps a lot
