Two or three from either. I notice that when a Bic starts to go bad, it really goes bad...

Bic Sensitive: I get eight shaves, but I don't do my chin.

I usually travel with one and then toss it; but if I kept it, I could probably get 3-4 shaves out of it, the last one would likely give me shadow at 5pm

Infequently...and I mean very infrequently I'll use them (or a similar razor) when I travel (usually because I forgot to pack my Merkur Travel and had to go out and buy a razor) and I'll use it one time and toss it. I could probably get more out of one, but why bother...
Enjoy your shave (with a real razor)...

Iron, chromium, carbon, yeast, water, barley, corn, salt, and hops.
No, wait - that's Pennsylvania miners' pretzels...
