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; 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.

Schick makes a two-blade razor with a push-thingy (technical term :-))
that lets you push the bits of beard out from between the blades.
Works a treat.
