To the best of my memory, it wasn’t until the shave count went over 20 when I started wondering what I was doing. The edge deterioration was noticeable, but never got to a point where I felt it was unusable or causing issues. The major realization of how dull it had become wasn’t until after I switched to a fresh blade and got that instant comparison of the very old and new blade performed. With those two sided sharpened metal sheets I hit a pretty defined point where they aren’t usable anymore of I go more than 3 or 4 shaves, but I never got that experience with the GEM.
If you don’t have any luck finding a cheap Micromatic let me know, I have a few spares sitting around waiting for a good home.
I am going to do that count and post it on the GEM board here. I will let you know. I am not ready for the Micromatic yet.
