Why do razor blades get dull so fast?

Yup! I lather up and walk down the hall to boot up the computer.
Returning to the bathroom, I'm ready for a close, nick - free shave.
If I just start shaving, I can scratch myself up pretty good.

Yeah, much more pain-free here, too...
As a yout, I was getting only 2-3 shaves per Trac II cartridge even
with aggressive rinsing. I ran a lot of water down the vents in
the back of the cartridge, too. On inspection, I found that the 'vents'
were completely blind and without function. I also found
that the cartridge was loading up very quickly;
Hmm, I've never looked that closely, in fact I can't look that
closely, anymore 8^(
the clogged shavings were
holding the blade off my skin! I now clean my razor in an ultrasonic
bath every day and average 7 shaves per blade.
Ha, another reason I should get me one of those cleaners, thanks!
I was starting to panic when running low on my favorite 'unobtanium'
Trac II cartridges until I stumbled across American Safety Razor Personna
_TwinII Plus_ cartridges for cheap on eBay. (See item 350333133296)
They work just as good as the old name brand blades.
U$0.45 each, (delivered) and Made In U.S.A.!
