The blade will eventually get dull and not just from corrosion. I find that I get 4-6 shaves out of any random blade although the Feather blades seem to last longest in addition to providing the closest and most comfortable shave. I'm not buying 9 months on a single disposable cartridge :) I couldn’t dream of using the same blade for 9 months without any kind of honing or stropping.

I'm still using the same blade from February of this year, shaving every other day on average. It works about as well as when I started. I dunno what I'd do with 250 blades, they'd probably rust out before I got to them all. I've only just started to keep track of the usage, so I don't know how long they last exactly, but I'd guess well over a year.

Still, you might want to occasionally try another brand from the sampler and see how it compares with the Feather. Always interesting to compare.

I got the Sampler Pack #5 from <a href="http://www.razorandbrush.com/Sampler.html" rel="nofollow">Razor and Brush</a> but after trying a few blades (the specific ones I don't recall) I settled on the Feather Hi-Stainless and promptly ordered a pack of 250 from Ebay. I do not remember trying some of the ones you mentioned, so perhaps another test is in order. :) Thanks for the advice.

The Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge are quite good (not to be confused with 7 AM blades, which for me are mediocre). Others to try: Astra Superior Platinum, Treet Blue Special, Iridium Super, Polsilver. <a><b>Razor and Brush</b></a> carries these along with many others.
