I use the Gilette Fusion and have a heavy beard, but one cartridge lasts me two weeks. Here's how: I shake the water off my razor and then use a blow dryer to completely dry the blades after each shave. Supposedly it's not the cutting of hair that really dulls the blades, but rather the corrosion that occurs on the wet edges after you put it up.
That's a big surprise to me, the same as some thing the article says.
For more than thirty years, I've used disposable Blue II (dirty cheap, they last one or two months each), cream (not sure if that's the word in English... 2€, it lasts a whole year, no kidding) and a brush (natural weasel hair, they last an average of twenty years). I make the whole thing in three minutes, no cuts, no pain, very close.
I've tried electrical shavers, gel, more than two razors and all sorts of novelties, but nothing was a real improvement. I think they can insult us, cheaper customers because we really couldn't care less. While they keep making the cheap stuff, they can bark all they want :-)
