How do you keep track of Blade Usage - Dice, or ?

See a lot of folks use Dice to keep track of Blade use, personally I do not using anything but Blade Performance. If I get the feeling on my Face a Blade is going Dull, the number of shave doesn't say keep using it. I let my sixth sense tell me it is time to open new blade.

Cjuts, Nicks, and Blood letting are avoided with New Sharp Blade......JMHO
 
I've got 52 blade brands...DE, Gem, AC, and injector. I use DE blades three times, then discard. I strike them with a permanent marker up to three lines. Dice never worked for me, especially if I'm using seven different blades in a rotation.
 
Well I use one Blade at a time, I find my expierence say it it time to ReBlade.

Blade are cheaper then Band Aids.🤧
 
My Rule of thumb:

Carbon Steel DE Blades: 1 Use
SE (Half De Blades): 2 Uses
DE Blades: 4 Uses
AC Blades: 8 Uses
GEM Blades: 10 Uses

if I see a blade not performing like I want it's discarted.
I keep a digital notebook with the blade uses that I update it after every shave.
 
I just use a new blade pretty much every time I shave
 
I understand blades are cheap, but it always amazes me when people pitch a blade after a single shave.

I go by feel, and will even change mid shave but I usually get a week out of a blade.
