Related: About this forumYou don't have to change razor-blades that often.
http://io9.com/dollar-shave-club-delivers-you-fresh-razors-for-a-few-b-1702032179You can now have razor-blades delivered to your home! What a ... perfectly unnecessary service.
It's not the process of cutting hair that makes razor-blades blunt. Hair is far too soft for that.
It's corrosion due to the water you leave on your razor-blades after using them. If you leave your razor-blades lying around while wet, they become blunt.
I shake my razor a few times really hard to get rid of all the drops. Sometimes I wipe the blades with a small piece of toilet-paper. I use cheap razor-blades and they easily last weeks and months.

(18,219 posts)1. I have been told to put them in alcohol
and then they will dry really fast since alcohol evaporates quickly. I have not tried that but it might be easier than wiping them off each time.

I think that the razor one blade is the best buying
a) It's the less expensive in the shop
b) it's easy to clean
c) and it's easy the dry (thank you for the explanation) .
